Located on the north-western coast, this luxury hotel has panoramic views over the town of Grand Bay and the emerald waters of the Indian Ocean. It is in a prime location to enjoy the beauty and life of Mauritius. With a little help from renowned architect and designer, Albert Angel, it is also unique in the atmosphere it creates.
The modern and pure design is inspired by the pristine beach and sparkling waters opposite the hotel. Indeed, the curves of the walls flow like calm sea waves, and the furniture mimics nature with sofas formed like the wind, and cushions made like pebbles of the shore. Topped off with chandeliers reminiscent of jellyfish tentacles, that illuminate the space with a soft blue tone, it evokes a peaceful and immersive underwater wonderland.
A feeling of infinite calm envelopes the spacious bedrooms, decorated in tones of white and grey, they are bright with the natural light that streams in from the private terrace. The en-suites are equally relaxing and luxuriously equipped with a rain effect shower and achromotherapy whirlpool bath.
On arrival I chose to unwind into the holiday spirit with a session at the hotel spa and was delighted with the experience. With an array of massages and treatments available I tried ‘The Float Cabin’ as it claimed one hour was equivalent to 4 hours of sleep! It left me feeling physically and mentally revived. So much so that I was ready to explore the other fabulous features of the hotel, including the rooftop pool, the private beach, and the sophisticated cuisine. The restaurant is very attentive to the specific requests of every client, and it favours local flavours; the daily specials are chosen according to seasonal products and the latest seafood catch.
As I sit in the evening sun, a cool drink in hand, I watch the warm breeze rustle through the majestic palm trees and I contemplate what to fill my days with; maybe kayaking, kite boarding or snorkelling, maybe sky diving or scuba diving… swimming with dolphins? maybe canyoning, quad biking, or a horse ride along the beach… and so many more choices.
For a truly unforgettable experience in a little piece of paradise the Baystone Boutique Hotel and Spa is exactly what you’re looking for.
