The place
Le Touessrok, Mauritius
Indo-Mauritian romanticism.
Across from the Ile aux Cerfs, the Touessrok is a dream refuge for latter-day Robinson Crusoes looking for a romance getaway. Four immaculate sandy beaches lined with coconut trees surround this resort, which is known as a paradise for divers.
Completely rebuilt in 2002, the Touessrok has preserved the romantic charm of Mauritian architectural style with thatched roofs, rosewood shutters, creamy stucco walls and striking stained-glass windows that provide a counterpoint to the abundant hibiscus and bougainvillea plants in the tropical garden.
The hotel’s 200 rooms and bathrooms feature precious exotic woods, Indian quartz , porcelain floors and marble bathtubs.
