Even luxury resorts can sometimes feel a bit romance-less. The multiple pools in lurid turquoise, the impersonal buildings and a mish-mash of watersports accoutrements spoiling the seafront views. It can also feel like there’s lots and lots of people there — families and honeymooners vying for deck chair space. Not at Shangri-La Le Touessrok.
Set on its own little promontory on Mauritius’s east coast, the hotel, which had a recent multi-million pound renovation, is ensconced in rainforest-like vegetation and dotted with majestic banyan trees. Far from feeling crowded, it often seems like you have the place to yourself.
