Set on the island of Mauritius in the sparkling Indian Ocean, One&Only Le Touessrok is a pinnacle of tropical luxury and one of the most romantic places on earth.
The resort reopened in December, 2002, adding contemporary sophistication to its original Mediterranean village style. A wooden bridge links to Frangipani Island, where there are new suites. On Ile aux Cerfs there is a new restaurant and the new championship golf course, endorsed by Bernhard Langer, due to open September 2003. Ilot Mangénie, the resort’s retreat island, is five minutes away by private boat.
The One&Only Le Touessrok is reborn after comprehensive rebuilding and restyling. Acutely sensual, with contemporary haut chic, it has new rooms and suites, new cuisines, new Givenchy Spa relaxations, and a new championship golf course.
