Some 1,200 miles east of Africa, beyond Madagascar in the Indian Ocean, lies Mauritius, an exotic tropical island of white-sand beaches and lush forested mountains. Long ago this was a stopping point for Arab sailors and European traders. Later came the French and then the British. In recent years this independent republic has been a favorite vacation spot for international tourists seeking a serene getaway with warm aquamarine waters, exotic flora and fauna, and a lively culture of hospitality.

With the arrival of One&Only Le Saint Géran Private Homes, there’s now the opportunity to own a luxurious home in an exclusive enclave that’s remote yet accessible, private yet close to sybaritic amenities, tranquil yet beckoning with adventure. Launched in 2021, the community of just 52 residences occupies the tip of a peninsula on the island’s quiet east coast, edged by the azure sea and a sparkling lagoon and backed by the island’s lush vegetation. The design of the contemporary villas, which is the work of the SAOTA architectural firm, was inspired by the island’s stunning natural environment and the Mauritian aesthetic.
