Le Saint Géran opened in 1975 and has long been one of the best-known hotels on the island. It sits on a palm-covered peninsula at the northern end of the Belle Mare coast, with a calm lagoon on one side and the reef-protected ocean on the other. Rooms and suites face the water, and the suites come with butler service.
Days are easy to fill. There is sailing, waterskiing, paddleboarding and snorkeling in the lagoon, a large spa, tennis, and a kids' club that keeps children busy. Golf is close by, and day trips reach the botanical garden at Pamplemousses, the tea and sugar estates of the south, and the gorges and waterfalls of Black River Gorges National Park.
Le Saint Géran suits families, multigenerational groups and couples who want a lively resort with many restaurants. It is a larger hotel than the private-island stays on this list. The east coast catches the trade winds from about May to September, which can make the ocean side choppy, and the drive from the airport takes about an hour.
One&Only Le Saint Géran fills its own peninsula on the east coast of Mauritius, with a lagoon on one side and the open ocean on the other. It is the Mauritius resort we suggest for families and for anyone who wants a classic, full-service beach hotel.
