A stay at One&Only Le Saint Géran is pure indulgence – if you’re craving some R&R, you’ll be hard pushed to find somewhere better. First there’s the idyllic location. Set on a private peninsula on Mauritius’ Belle Mare coastline, the resort’s surrounded by two kilometres of sugary white sand and 60 acres of lush tropical gardens. And of course the whole thing’s lapped by the sparkling waters of the Indian Ocean. On top of that, there’s the blissful One&Only Spa, where you can enjoy head-to-toe pampering, and five restaurants so you can sample cuisines from around the globe.

Much of Mauritius is adults-only territory, but things at One&Only Le Saint Géran have very much been designed with kids in mind. Besides a dedicated family swimming pool and earlier dinner times at certain restaurants for those with kiddies under two, there are a bunch of clubs which cater to specific age groups. You can drop three to seven-year-olds off at KidsOnly, there’s TweensOnly for eight to 12-year-olds, and those aged 13 to 17 can spend some time at One Tribe. Under the watchful eye of dedicated supervisors, your little travellers can meet new friends, try their hands at arts and crafts, go on treasure hunts, play various sports and enjoy barbecues, bonfires, karaoke and snorkelling trips. And if your child’s particularly active, there are even youth fitness classes on offer.

While it’s easy to keep active at Tamassa, you can also take some well-deserved time out. In the heart of the landscape gardens, perfectly blended with its natural surroundings, LUX* Me Spa is a tranquil hideaway. Take your pick from a range of therapeutic massages, facials and body wraps. Or simply soak in the hot tub, sweat out any toxins in the sauna, and unwing in the hammam. There’s also a 12-metre pool here, if you fancy a dip.
