One&Only Le Saint Géran's Wellness Spa

Mauritius' discreet tropical sanctuary

VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

Overlooking a secluded Indian Ocean lagoon and cradled by palm and coconut trees, the revamped Wellness Spa gives off a restorative feeling of being at one with your natural surroundings.

Part of One&Only Le Saint Géran’s multi-million-dollar refresh in 2017, the island spa covers 10,763 square feet of light-filled space. Thirteen newly designed, ivory-painted treatment cabins surround the pool, including a couple’s cabin with a private garden, outdoor shower and arched floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the corridor with light and frame the tropical view.

Thanks to a partnership with top spa brand ESPA, the facility offers a curated array of luxurious treatments and wellness journeys, from a locally inspired Mauritian Fusion therapy to a chakra balancing ritual.

Primping isn’t an afterthought here, either, where beauty services are provided by luxe names like Bastien Gonzalez and Biologique Recherche — an island first.

Our Inspector's Highlights

The Mauritius spa caters to all manner of wellness seekers with a wide range of offerings, from mindfulness massages to a sleep ritual, and specialty treatments for men, mothers-to-be, kids and teens.
The most beloved services are the exclusive 120-minute Only Here treatments, inspired by local traditions and indigenous ingredients. Try the chakra balancing ritual to release deep-seated tension and blocked energy with an exfoliation using local aloe vera and a full-body massage with mint and citronella essences and hot volcanic stones.
Try the Garden Hideaway for Two if you’re looking for an extra romantic escape. Head for the secluded outdoor spa pavilion — a quaint retreat nestled in tropical foliage, with a swing and lamp light at night — to indulge in a floral foot ritual, an aloe and apricot scrub, a stress-relieving rubdown, a scalp massage and a post-treatment mango and papaya platter.
Complimentary yoga and Pilates classes are held at the new open-air pavilion at Club One, where an alfresco bar serves juice and iced tea. For a more immersive experience, private yoga classes can be arranged in secluded spots around the resort.
