Things to know
before you go
All-inclusive is one of several meal plans (BB/HB/FB/AI), not the default rate.
Current AI sheets use per-meal food credits and require restaurant reservations 24 hours ahead.
The 7,500 m² spa is the headline amenity; treatments are extra even on AI.
Hidden tips
Book Rum Shed and La Kaze Mama as soon as you check in; allotments are limited.
Club Level adds lounge access and a dedicated concierge via the Shanti app.
Strengths from our research
Intimate 61-key estate with real space between villas
Standout spa and yoga program
Dine-around across three distinct kitchens
Other considerations from our research
AI is optional and still has credits/supplements
South coast is remote from Grand Baie nightlife
No dedicated teen program
