What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The southwestern peninsula forms a UNESCO World Heritage cultural landscape, ringed by shallow reef shallows and sheltered coastline.
The rooms
Every suite looks out toward the water from a sheltered terrace, and beachfront categories step directly onto the sand.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A wide lagoon pool sits beside the beach, and sun decks look straight up at the cliffs of Le Morne.
The gym
The fitness centre sits under exposed timber rafters, with cardio machines and free weights looking out over the gardens.
Butik Bar
This thatched beach bar sits directly on the white sand, pouring fresh fruit cocktails and chilled coconuts.
At the table
Thatched terraces line the water, serving fresh seafood on the sand and evening cocktails beneath high timber ceilings.
How it began
The name comes from Dina Arobi, the earliest moniker given to Mauritius by Arab mariners navigating the Indian Ocean.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
