Stretching languorously along the silky, sandy beach of the north coast, Legends, a luxury beach hotel in Mauritius, promises Zen relaxation based on harmony and well-being. The Chinese philosophy of Feng Shui pervades the beach hotel. There is equilibrium of Water, Earth, Wood, Fire and Metal, which helps positive energy to circulate. This, the only Feng Shui hotel in the Indian Ocean, provides a luxurious opportunity for the body and soul to repose awhile. Space, the natural or dark brown shades of the decor, the beauty of bamboo, the stone walls and the gentle sound of the chimes - all are reminders that this is a Feng Shui world.
 

Rooms & Suites

Each of the five room categories has a different design scheme, with corresponding colours and materials. The rooms range from comfortable and spacious Superior Rooms to the sumptuous Emperor Villa, which features aspects of all the elements and has its own private beach.

Superior Rooms (48m²)
The room’s feature element is Metal. Wooden fittings give a sensuous warmth to the rooms, which are resplendent in subdued and elegantly sophisticated shades of sand and ochre colours.

Deluxe Rooms (58m²)
The warm, subtle lighting gleams almost like candlelight through the rooms where the dominant Feng Shui element is featured in the water sculpture. As in all the rooms, the decor uses clean lines, with shades of blue and sandy colours.

Junior Suites (78m²)
The Suites are spacious and luxuriously decorated in subtle shades of sand and ochre, blending perfectly with the main element, which is wood. There is an ottoman at the foot of the super-king size double beds and a large, comfortable sitting area on the private terrace or balcony. Each Suite has a small dressing room and spacious bathroom, bath tub, with a walk-in shower, two washbasins, a bath and a separated toilet.

Senior Suites (98m²)
The themes are earth and fire. Each villa has its own private garden, looking out towards the lagoon. ‘Ming’ & ‘Tang’ almost glow with warm red and orange hues. From the sitting area, two steps lead up to the magnificent double bed. Each of the villas has its own whirlbath and a very spacious bathroom.

Emperor Villa (288m²)
This Emperor Villa is Legends’ jewel in the crown, the most luxurious place imaginable in which to renew all one’s energy. All 5 elements of Feng Shui are used in the furbishing and fittings, with its simply fabulous decor.
The Villa has 2 bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, as well as its own fitted kitchenette. It has its own whirlpool and a delightful, private outdoor stone garden with a pool, a barbecue area and a gazebo for outside dining.
A very special feature of the Villa is that it has its own private beach, and there is a butler available to help make guests’ stay even more agreeable in anyway he can.

The restaurant is also open for à la carte dining 4 times a week.

Karma House
The hotel’s gastronomic restaurant and the culinary flagship of the hotel is perfect for a special evening in an elegant setting with impeccable service. A superb open terrace overlooking the pool adds to the feeling of space, also reflected in the open-style kitchen and the walk-in wine cellar. Karma House is based on a "Trilogie" concept (food cooked in three different ways).

Abalone
For those who love seafood, Abalone is like heaven on earth, with produce straight from the sea brought daily to the hotel. In the evenings, seafood and pearly shellfish alternate with scarlet red crayfish twice a week. Abalone is also open for lunch, when its specialities include hearty salads and local, Mauritian dishes.

Grand Bleu
Grand Bleu is Legends’ pool bar, with comfortable sofas in the middle, surrounded by tables and chairs for meals. Light lunches come in all shapes and sizes, from club sandwiches to snacks, traditional Chinese tea service and dim sum. Home-made pancakes are served between 4 and 6 each afternoon. It takes a while to read the cocktail list, full of exciting concoctions. The Bar also serves a wide selection of local and international beers, wines and spirits.

Spirit Lounge & Bar
Enjoy memorable moments in the elegant and refined Spirit Lounge, ideal for a quiet drink, before or after dinner. Lounge music flows through the Champagne & Caviar corner. The atmosphere is reminiscent of the plush comfort of an English club, with a choice of Havana cigars.

Banyan Pool, Bar & Grill
The Banyan Bar is a laid-back place, under some of the oldest banyan trees on the island, beside its own pool, with seating at the Bar itself or under parasols on the lawns.
The Bar’s selection includes fresh fruit juices, beers and tropical cocktails. At lunchtime, fish, seafood and meat grills are cooked in front of you and there is also a selection of salad dishes.

Beach Service
