All 200 guestrooms and suites face the ocean, with large bay windows framing uninterrupted views across the Indian Ocean, and many come with private balconies where you can shake off the morning or settle in with a sundowner before dinner. Whether you book a Deluxe Ocean View Room or push up to the opulent Shangri-La Suite, the standard kit is consistent: luxury bathrooms with deep soaking tubs, walk-in showers and designer amenities, complimentary WiFi, satellite TV, minibar, tea and coffee facilities, king or queen beds and the sort of furnishings you'd expect from a resort at this level. Step up to selected suites and villas and you'll find champagne on arrival and, in some cases, direct beach access that lets you walk straight from your room onto the sand.
For families or groups wanting more space and privacy, three exclusive villas sit within the resort grounds, each with its own private pool and direct beach access, offering a properly personalised island experience without leaving the property. It's ideal if you're travelling with non-golfers who want their own space while you're out on Île aux Cerfs.
As a guest, you'll have complimentary access to a full range of watersports, kayaking, paddle boarding, wake boarding, sailing, snorkelling, windsurfing and water skiing all included, with big game fishing available for an additional fee if you want to step up to a full day on the water. Dining spans five on-site restaurants, covering Western, Indian and Japanese cuisine, all delivering the quality you'd expect from the Shangri-La name. When you need a drink, the Republik and Sega Bars are on hand for cocktails, cold beers or pre-dinner aperitifs. The CHI Spa, with its eight treatment rooms and comprehensive facilities, is where you'll want to head after a long day on the course or simply when you need to wash away whatever stresses followed you onto the plane. And when you're ready to leave the resort, the two islands offshore, Ilot Mangenie and Île aux Cerfs, are easily reached by boat, the latter being home to the Bernhard Langer course that's likely the reason you're here in the first place.
