In a flawless fusion of French elegance and island soul, BLINK Design Group has created a sanctuary of serenity at One&Only Le Saint Géran – introducing the very first Guerlain Spa in Mauritius. This exquisite new chapter in wellness brings the legacy of Guerlain’s haute beauté to the Indian Ocean, enveloped in design that whispers sophistication and sings of nature.
The spa is more than a place – it’s an experience of dual harmony, where Mauritian wild beauty meets Parisian refinement. BLINK’s vision draws deeply from the island’s elemental contrasts: volcanic stone and velvety green jungle, azure waters and golden light. The interiors mirror this interplay with moody textures inspired by lava rock, softened by sumptuous French furnishings, silk-touch textiles, and a palette as natural as it is nuanced.

Soft light spills into treatment rooms framed in Mother of Pearl and carved timber, as sea breezes drift through open spaces designed to breathe. Sisal rugs, rattan weaves, antique bronze, and straw marquetry ground the design in Mauritian craft and culture, while bespoke finishes and gold metallic accents evoke the timeless glamour of Guerlain.
Every detail tells a story – from the shimmering spa pool encircled by arched trees and wooden cabanas, to bespoke rituals like the Stone Prelude, echoing local tradition and enhanced by Guerlain’s precision techniques. This is wellness that transcends the physical – a sensory retreat designed to restore, awaken, and elevate.
Clint Nagata, Founding Partner of BLINK, captures the philosophy: “Spa design is about creating the atmosphere where transformation happens. It’s about space becoming experience.”

This transformative vision has resonated beyond design. Roman Goetsch, General Manager of One&Only Le Saint Géran, calls the spa “a sanctuary that blends French savoir-faire with Mauritian serenity – a sensorial experience that is deeply personalised and globally distinctive.”
In its artful blend of nature, culture, and couture, the new Guerlain Spa stands as a masterclass in placemaking. BLINK has not simply built a spa – they have sculpted a soul-soothing escape where the spirit of Mauritius and the elegance of Guerlain embrace, and where guests are invited to exhale.
Luxury, reimagined. Bliss, defined. Welcome to a new era of wellbeing.
