VIPs at St Regis

Now for the picturesque St Regis on the south western tip of Mauritius with a long sandy beach and a backdrop of Le Morne mountain.

The beach is one of the big attractions of St Regis Mauritius. The resort also has a very elegant plantation style with attractive accommodations and good food at a choice of restaurants.

On our last night on our recent trip to Mauritius I had a great dinner with two cool men:
 
Frederic Chretien,  the Resort Manager, and my lovely husband

Fresh foie gras
We saw some lovely accommodations...

A massage bench in the suite

Lovely management



The beach was romantic in the evening light…




One of the reasons our customers get special VIP treatment at St Regis Mauritius is the tireless efforts of resort manager Frederic and Director of Sales Davina. After our trip - we met Davina again at ILTM to discuss our even better cooperation in the future.

Nostalgic!

Nostalgically back to my favourite spot…enjoying lunch at Blue Marlin on my recent trip to Mauritius.

This restaurant is at the lovable family hotel Paradis on Le Morne peninsula. Next door is sister hotel Dinarobin, another favourite that has pleased our elite clients for over 20 years. Between them they share eight restaurants and great facilities..



Watching the boats and waterskiing at Paradis:




Paradis is such an active hotel and has such stunning sunsets. Will always love it! 



Now for some news…

The newly renovated rooms at Paradis are very spacious with big terraces




At  Dinarobin lunch on the beach is a must...



So is a visit to the spa – a must!





 Later we dined divinely at Umami. Great food. Japanese/Asian crossover.





Finally, there is always time for tennis...

Deepak is the best trainer - he has been at Paradis for more than 15 years

Indian Ocean charm

Continuing my catch-up visit to subtropical Mauritius. As warm and hospitable as ever…

Shanti Maurice lies on the south east coast of the island, an unspoilt area within reach of hills and rainforests. The resort has a curve of golden beach and a calm pastel lagoon, but there is also a stretch where the Indian Ocean thunders on the reef.

Shanti's golden beach


At the Presidential Villa you get the best of both worlds – the sound of the waves and total pampering at home in the villa.

Lunch with a view in your own gazebo

At the Fish Shack, there is a rustic, barefoot ambience, the sound of waves, and the aroma of barbecue. At the Rum Shed taste the Creole flavours of Mauritius...

 The organic garden is part of the secret of the cuisine…

And the people are the secret of the hospitality...
