Dodo Wish

NEW

Amidst the luxurious gardens of the hotel, stands an unexpected structure: a majestic sculpture of the dodo, crafted from local badamier (Indian almond) wood.

A small action in mind to reduce your ecological footprint? Then join the Dodo Wish community and add your promise to this sculpture, a meaningful wish for a greener tomorrow. 

Glass Studio

Unleash your inner artist and get creative at our sustainable Glass Studio. Transform recycled glass bottles from the hotel into unique, handcrafted souvenirs. This sustainable and creative workshop is the perfect way to connect with your artistic side and take home a one-of-a-kind piece, blending patience, imagination and a dash of colour. Join us for an inspiring activity for all ages that goes beyond the ordinary, blending fun, creativity and sustainability! 

Vibe & Ride

NEW

Discover the vibrant east coast of Mauritius on an electric bike adventure. Glide through the sandy beaches, charming villages, and rainforests. Choose your own path: explore Flacq Market, a must-see village bustling with local charm, on the 18km route, or venture deeper into the island's heart on a 22km route weaving through the scenic Bras d'Eau National Park culminating at the Sagar Shiv Hindu Temple. Here, your unfiltered Mauritian adventure awaits. 

Cinema Under the Stars

NEW

When the expansive lawn before the Manor House transforms into an open-air cinema, an evening of magic unfolds, showcasing timeless Hollywood classics or the latest blockbusters. Enjoy an immersive experience with personalised Bluetooth headphones and indulge in an array of movie-night treats, from popcorn and cotton candy to ice cream. A starry night, a night of elegance infused with a touch of Hollywood glamour.  

Brilliant Bocce

NEW

Indulge in a taste of the dolce vita in the tropics with a game of bocce. Perfect for family fun after a day exploring the lagoon, this Italian-inspired lawn game takes on a magical twist as night falls. With glowing balls illuminating the play area, bocce becomes an evening activity for all ages. It's easy to learn, entertaining, and perfect for friendly competition. Gather your team and race to five points for a fun-filled challenge that will keep the holiday spirit alive long after the sun sets. 

Brilliant Breakfast

Start the day in good health with a hearty breakfast served in a private floating restaurant set up just for you. Seated in a traditional pirogue in the warm waters of the lagoon, your table bulges with delicacies and flavours that are as delicious as they are nutritious. Listen as your server describes the extraordinary variety of native foods and culinary flairs as a soundtrack of waves breaks gently on the reef. 

L’Atelier des Sens

L’Atelier des Sens is a perfume-making workshop where you will discover the myriad facets of essences. Conducted in collaboration with one of the oldest perfume houses in Grasse, an expert perfumer will guide you on an olfactory journey to develop your signature scent. It’s altogether scent-sational. 

La Cabana

NEW

Imagine a laid-back beach picnic by the lagoon. After a dip in the crystal-clear waters, settle beneath the shade of a swaying palm tree on the beach. Next up, a delightful feast awaits: fresh salads, grills cooked right before your eyes (or unleash your inner chef if you’re up for it!), and desserts sure to satisfy every craving. As the ocean whispers its gentle lullaby, the only decision you will face is whether to engage in a game of tic-tac-toe in the sand or enjoy a heartfelt chit-chat to bond with your loved ones. An unforgettable experience, perfect for couples seeking an escape or families yearning for quality time together.

Pirogue Painting

This retired vessel may have finished its seafaring duties years ago, but it has now been reborn as a three-dimensional canvas. Feel free to express yourself by painting or decorating the proud pirogue with colourful marks. Over time, it will become a symphony of vibrant patterns like a giant jewel by the ocean. 

Complimentary Activity

Strictly Sugar

Embrace your inner ballroom diva and up your grooving skills with Strictly Sugar dance classes.

Santé

Forget the classic Long Island Ice Teas and Piña Coladas, and say hello to drinks infused with the power of nature.

Sega Zoomba

Swirl your hips and swing those arms with Sega Zoomba. This is a brand-new workout born from an imaginative mash-up of the global Zumba phenomenon and the fiery rhythm and moves of Mauritian Sega.

Complimentary Activity

Crazy Croquet

For a barmy afternoon of old-school fun, enjoy a glass of pale rosé or a deeper-hued Aperol Spritz as you hone your skills with the mallet on the grand lawn. Brush up on the rules while competing in teams for the last hoop and peg. It’s a jovial bonding experience but the dress code is strictly white and Panama hats. 

Transforming the Piazza

As evening falls, our piazza transforms into its night-time persona, and Long Beach illuminates with creative brilliance. Combining music and art, the piazza comes to life as a vibrant space that celebrates local talent. Stalls featuring handmade crafts and local products invite guests to explore the rich artistry of Mauritius, from traditional creations to modern interpretations. Meanwhile, visual artists showcase their work, turning the piazza into an open-air gallery.

Marsan Confi

In his colourful attire and comical straw hat, can you spot our Marsan Confi as he meanders across the resort on his bicycle? Meet our charismatic storyteller!

Accompanied by chill-house music, savour treats and discover the artistry of local artisans. And if luck favours you on the day, you might be graced with the legendary green flash as the sun bids goodbye, a fleeting moment of magic that Jules Verne once said is an omen of clarity, unravelling the deepest truths of the heart.  

Island Trails
