One&Only Le Saint Géran
On the east coast of Mauritius, One&Only Le Saint Géran graces 60 acres on the beautiful Belle Mare peninsula. The resort is fringed by over a mile of white sand beach, bound by a sheltered cove on one side and by an inviting, eternally beautiful bay on the other. Ringed by a protective hemline of coral reef from the deep Indian Ocean, the peninsula on which One&Only Le Saint Géran sits is very close to the actual site of the wreck of the Le Saint Géran ship in 1744.The resort is 1 hour from the airport and 40 minutes from the capital of Port Louis. The island of Mauritius is about 1,800km (1,118 miles) from the east coast of Africa.
