An Expert's Insight on The Latest Update to One&Only Le Saint Geran

Find out more about One&Only Le Saint Geran's Private Homes...

Mauritius has long been a top choice for luxury holidays in the Indian Ocean, known for its breathtaking beauty and serene atmosphere. This idyllic island is now even more appealing, especially for multi-generational family holidays and group getaways.
Earlier this year, One&Only Le Saint Géran introduced its new Private Homes, an unparalleled collection of luxury residences in Mauritius. These homes redefine bespoke travel, offering more space, amenities, and options for those travelling with friends or family.
In this exclusive interview, we spoke to the General Manager of One&Only Le Saint Geran, Roman Goetsch, to discuss what truly sets this new accommodation option apart. Read on to learn why One&Only Le Saint Geran Private Homes are the perfect choice for your next luxury group or family trip to Mauritius.

One&Only Le Saint Géran's Private Homes are unlike anything else in Mauritius-do you have to own a private home to experience it?

RG

Not at all. The One&Only Le Saint Géran Private Homes are now available for exclusive rental, welcoming guests to experience a level of privacy and connection previously reserved for owners. It's a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in the island's most coveted address, whether for a family celebration, a reunion of friends, or a multi-generational escape. Private Homes also add flexibility to your stay with fully equipped kitchen, a back of house kitchen for your personal chefs, a dedicated parking or garage, creating the ideal base for exploration to make Mauritius your island home.

How do these differ from the other accommodation of One&Only Le Saint Geran?

RG

While the resort's suites and rooms embody effortless elegance and intimacy, the Private Homes elevate this with generous space, from two to six bedrooms, private pools, and gourmet kitchens. These residences are crafted for seamless indoor-outdoor living, where sun-drenched terraces and lush gardens invite you to gather, celebrate, and reconnect. The Private Homes offer the same warmth and authenticity as the main resort, but with an added sense of seclusion and exclusivity-your own sanctuary on the peninsula.

What can people expect from these private homes?

RG

Expect a retreat where every detail is considered, yet nothing feels staged. The Private Homes are designed for togetherness, with expansive living spaces, private pools, and alfresco dining that flows naturally from day to night. Guests can further tailor their stay to their liking with a range of exclusive a la carte service from our dedicated team of Legacy Makers, who anticipate needs with genuine care. Here, luxury is not just about amenities, but about the freedom to create your own rhythm-whether that means a sunrise swim, a family barbecue, or simply listening to the waves with loved ones.

Those staying in the private homes will still have access to all the main hotel facilities like the Guerlain Spa, but are there any facilities exclusively for these guests? And how easy is it to access the facilities of One&Only Le Saint Geran?

RG

Guests of the Private Homes enjoy full access to the resort's world-class facilities, including the only Guerlain Spa in Mauritius, Club One's vibrant activity hub, and the island's most exclusive boutiques. For added privacy, the RIVA beachfront restaurant and pool club are exclusive to Private Home guests-a chic enclave inspired by the Italian Riviera. The homes are seamlessly connected to the resort, ensuring every experience-from a spa ritual to a sunset cocktail-is just a gentle stroll or buggy ride away.

What are you most excited for guests to experience during their stay here?

RG

What excites me most is seeing guests forge genuine connections-both with each other and with Mauritius itself. Whether it's a family mastering Sega dancing together, friends exploring hidden waterfalls, or couples sharing a private dinner under the stars, every stay becomes a tapestry of treasured stories. This is where our range of exclusive a la carte offerings and bespoke curated packages come into play. We're not just offering a place to stay, but a stage for unforgettable moments, a piece of the Mauritius island life to take home.

Obviously, with these homes starting at two bedrooms, they're a perfect choice for multi-generational family holidays. But how else do they foster that feeling of togetherness?

RG

The Private Homes are designed for shared experiences-open-plan living, expansive terraces, and private pools invite spontaneous gatherings, laughter, and conversation. Our team curates bespoke activities, from guided tour to Flacq local market concluded by in-Home cooking classes, to a guided hike accompanied by our resident artist who will help you paint the scenic views after conquering the summit, to private boat excursions with our partners at Reef Gardeners to learn diving and contribute to the mangrove restoration, that bring generations together in meaningful ways. It's about creating space for connection, where every member of the family feels not only at home, but experience the entire island as a sacred destination to find their passion.

Do you have any suggestions on how guests can get the most out of this type of accommodation?

RG

My advice: embrace the freedom these homes offer. Seek out signature experiences according to your passions-be it a sunrise yoga session, a Mauritian cooking class with our chefs, or a private boat trip to hidden coves. Most importantly, take time to simply be together, without agenda. That's where the magic of Le Saint Géran truly reveals itself

Summarise a stay here in three words.

RG

Connected. Inspired. Cherished.
