In the know

Our favourite rooms

Every room has a four-poster bed and marble bathroom with sunken bath and shower, as well as a private terrace. The Royal Villas are the most decadent option, set within their own generous tropical gardens complete with large private swimming pools and thatched dining pavilions, though the Luxury Villas with Private Pool tick all the right sumptuous and pampering boxes, too.

Packing tips

Bring binoculars. Even in the unlikely event that you’ll stay on shore throughout your stay, you’ll want to get a good look at the dolphins, flying fish and reef sharks frolicking in the crystal-clear waters of the Indian Ocean.

Food & drink

Hotel restaurant

The Restaurant, an open-sided pavilion with a high thatched roof, specialises in classic European and Asian dishes, as well as local Creole cuisine, and is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The Lagoon Pool Restaurant offers a less formal lunchtime menu of salads, sandwiches and pasta dishes.

Dress code

Fresh and floaty – lots of white to show off tans.

Top table

Ask for a private table down on the beach, and dine on fresh seafood with your feet in the sand.
