Find rest and repose at the foot of the mighty Le Morne mountain, where mere moments lie between the cocooning comfort of expansive suites and sunbathing bliss by the shoreline. In true St. Regis style, butler service here is exceptional, often pre-empting the personal preferences of each guest to ensure a seamless stay that doesn’t seem at all stifling. The brand’s signature experiences have too travelled to this Indian Ocean island; most renowned, of course, is the sunset sabrage, marking the close of the day and the onset of evening with a champagne toast to an amber sky. Put simply, this is a place with an intuition for quintessential holiday relaxation. 

Yet still, there’s more to this island paradise than the classic St. Regis signatures. An air of ease transcends the resort, and a wellness focus favours slowing the pace, prioritising waterside pauses above all else. The spa only adds to a peaceful ambiance, where spacious treatment rooms unwind body and mind before quiet moments on the relaxation terrace continue the mellow mood with a steaming herbal tea. Slow days then lean into serene evenings, where dining choices bring a slice of variety in their near endless options. Between aromas from across Southeast Asia at the Floating Market, a live cooking station showcasing Japanese gastronomy at Atsuko, and a Michelin-star chef adding a modern twist to traditional Indian cuisine at Indya, there’s no shortfall in flavours for even the fussiest of eaters.
