Turtle Watching

The island of Sainte Anne is a favourite nesting ground for sea turtles and the turtle egg laying season spans a period from October to January every year. Each day, three turtles on average come ashore to lay their eggs on one of the six beaches or creeks that form the shores of Sainte Anne. Most of them are hawksbill turtles but some green sea turtles may also be spotted occasionally.

About two months later, mainly on the secluded beach of Anse Manon, baby turtles make their way towards the ocean for the first time. The Hotel has committed itself to a protection programme with the help of Sainte Anne's marine park authorities. Each birth which occurs on the island is reported and turtles are regularly counted and weighed.

This luxury Spa by Clarins has been beautifully created to blend in harmoniously with the luxuriant environment and offers a full range of health and relaxation treatments. The Spa is divided into three main sections; one area is dedicated to beauty while the other is the domain of the massage cabins. The central area of the Spa is dedicated to rest and relaxation around the wooden deck surrounding a pool. Facilities include double massage cabins, cabins dedicated to Ayurveda, yoga and stretching, a balneotherapy room, a beauty parlour, Hammams and saunas.
