Le Touessrok resort is on the east coast of the island of Mauritius, 50 minutes from the airport and 50 minutes from the capital Port Louis. The resort has been recently refurbished, adding contemporary sophistication to its original Mediterranean village style. An elegant wooden bridge crosses to Frangipani Island, with its fabulous new Givenchy Spa and Matt Roberts Fitness Centre. On Ile aux Cerfs there is a new restaurant and the new championship golf course, endorsed by Bernhard Langer. Ilot Mangénie, the resort's retreat island, is five minutes away by private boat.

Guests at Le Touessrok are greeted by a dramatic, light-filled lobby with views straight out across the free-form swimming pool to the lovely curve of the bay. Walls of off-white stucco are set off by chocolate brown wicker furniture and splashes of distinctive colour. Barlen's - the new beachside restaurant - looks directly over the bay and 130 new suites follow the contours of the island so that every single one has an unimpeded sea view. Timeless are the white sand beaches, the blue Indian Ocean, the offshore island retreats, the star-filled nights and warm-breeze days. Le Touessrok is sleek, romantic and a pinnacle of tropical luxury on the beguiling island of Mauritius.
