With so many beach resorts out there, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by endless listings and glowing descriptions. At Love of Beaches, we take a more considered approach. These reviews aren’t exhaustive; they’re curated.

Note
Having thoroughly enjoyed previous stays at other One&Only properties, I arrived at the One&Only Le Saint Géran with high expectations, let’s just say it delivered in every sense. From the moment the grand gates swept open, I sensed I was stepping into something exceptional. The striking entrance and effortlessly elegant lobby (complete with a curated high-end boutique) set the stage for the indulgent experience ahead, serving as a gentle yet unmistakable reminder: this is luxury, uncompromised.
This resort truly delivers on its 5-star promise. The setting is nothing short of stunning, the accommodation is exceptional, the service is excellent, and the dining options are simply superb.
That said, it’s worth noting that this is a very discreet retreat, attracting individuals who value their privacy. I think it’s fair to say that if you’re looking for a social, friend-making holiday atmosphere, then this may not be the place for you. However, if you’re after beachside luxury guaranteed, One&Only Le Saint Géran is hard to beat.
Happy Travelling, Amanda
