Living well begins with eating well and making time for oneself. Created by our team, the Wellness Programme takes a holistic approach, bringing together nourishing, balanced cuisine with a considered selection of activities dedicated to the wellbeing of the body and mind.
For further information, our Front Office team will be pleased to assist you. Please feel free to contact them on extension 1200.
To kick off our Wellness Programme, a selection of activities has been thoughtfully chosen to encourage movement, stillness and a deeper sense of connection throughout your stay.
Yoga Sessions
Rooted in the traditional practice of Hatha Yoga, our sessions can be adapted to individual needs and intentions. Drawing from teachings of the University of Divine Culture in Kerala, the practice seeks to bring greater balance between body and mind. Under the guidance of our experienced instructor, we propose sessions designed to support your wellbeing goals. Whether you are looking to improve your physical health or find greater mental clarity, our yoga and meditation sessions will guide you towards a more balanced and harmonious way of life. Yoga and meditation become less about performance and more about listening — to the body, the breath and yourself.
Aqua Fitness — Mobility, Posture & Core
A gentle yet dynamic practice designed to improve mobility, posture and core strength. Using the natural resistance and support of water, each movement works on stability, coordination and flexibility while reducing impact on the joints. The session offers an energising way to move while encouraging greater balance and ease within the body.
Sound Healing — Focus, Breath & Self-Awareness
An immersive sound experience that invites you to slow down and turn your attention inward. Through vibrations, conscious breathing and simple concentration practices, the session encourages presence and a greater awareness of the body. A quiet moment to listen, observe and recentre.
Sound Healing — Release & Reconnection
A restorative pause dedicated to letting go of the tension of the day. Soothing sounds and vibrations are paired with deep, conscious breathing to encourage physical and mental release. As the outside world becomes quieter, attention gently returns inward. An invitation to slow down, reconnect with yourself and simply experience a moment of stillness.
We invite you to choose the sessions that best suit your needs and rhythm during your stay. For bookings and enquiries, please contact Sands Spa on extension 1280.
Inspired by the philosophy of Hippocrates — “Let food be thy medicine”, our approach places food at the heart of balance, vitality and wellbeing.
Mindful nutrition and refined gastronomy come together naturally, without having to choose between pleasure and wellbeing. Exceptional produce, nutritional balance, precise cooking techniques, considered textures and carefully composed flavours shape a cuisine that is wholesome, generous and deeply satisfying. Seasonality, plant diversity, moderation and the quality of each ingredient form an integral part to this philosophy.
Our ambition is to bring forward a contemporary vision of Mauritian cuisine — wholesome, distinctive and rooted in the island. Tropical fruits and vegetables, pulses, fish and seafood, spices, herbs, whole grains and fermented foods are prepared with a light touch and thoughtful precision.
The result is a cuisine that is local, authentic and responsible, guided by the seasons, made in-house and informed by Mauritian culinary traditions.
Our approach is rooted in anti-inflammatory nutrition, favouring natural, balanced and nutrient-rich foods while maintaining a thoughtful harmony between wellbeing and the pleasure of eating.
• Mindful carbohydrates
Whole grains, pulses and fibre-rich foods for more sustained energy.
• Healthy fats
Quality oils, fish and natural sources of omega-3.
• Quality proteins
Fish, seafood, lean meats and plant-based alternatives.
• Plant diversity
Vegetables, pulses, fruits and a broad variety of plant foods at the heart of each plate.
• Fermented foods
Incorporated thoughtfully to bring greater diversity to the diet.
• Gluten-free & dairy-free choices
Natural and flavourful plant-based alternatives.
• Microgreens & sprouted seeds
Bringing freshness, texture and plant-based goodness to each creation.
• Local & seasonal produce
Fresh Mauritian ingredients selected according to the seasons for a cuisine that feels both authentic and responsible.
• Island spices & herbs
Mauritian flavours form a natural signature, allowing taste to take precedence over excess salt, sugar or fat.
Our Wellness Programme is shaped around three key moments, each designed to bring balance, nourishment and a sense of pause to the day.
1. Breakfast: A selection created by Executive Chef Olivier Catora, with dishes identified by our Wellness logo, allowing each guest to compose a breakfast suited to their individual needs and preferences.
2. The Revitalising Pause: A Ritual of Reconnection – A moment to slow down, recentre and return to what matters. Freshness, energy and pleasure come together in harmony with the nutritional balance of the day.
3. Dinner – A different wellbeing menu each evening, bringing together nutritional balance, creativity and the pleasure of thoughtful cuisine.
The first moment of the day is approached with simplicity: nourishment, balance and pleasure.
Our chef offers a varied selection of gluten-free and dairy-free dishes alongside thoughtful guidance, allowing you to compose breakfast according to your needs, appetite and natural rhythm.
The essentials
• Quality proteins – eggs, fish, poultry and plant-based alternatives.
• Whole grains – sourdough and gluten-free breads, oats, homemade pancakes and other house-made preparations.
• Healthy fats – avocado, extra virgin olive oil, seeds and nuts.
• Pulses – lentils, peas, beans and plant-based preparations.
• Fruit & vegetables – fresh, whole, local and seasonal, with whole fruits favoured over juices.
• Natural beverages – tea, coffee, fresh herbal infusions and light broths.
• Choose a balance of protein, fibre and healthy fats while keeping refined sugars and highly processed foods to a minimum. This helps support sustained energy and a lasting sense of satisfaction throughout the morning.
• Take time over breakfast. Eat with awareness, enjoy each flavour and allow the natural surroundings to become part of the experience.
A quiet moment between land and sea, created simply to slow down, breathe and reconnect.
As the sun begins its descent over the ocean, the ritual invites you to leave the pace of the day behind and return to a quieter rhythm.
Rooted in presence and the senses, this moment is accompanied by a selection of infusions, fresh fruits and light creations inspired by the nature and flavours of Mauritius.
A moment for yourself. A return to what matters. A reconnection with body, mind and nature.
The setting sun does not simply mark the end of the day. It is a moment to reconnect.
Dinner is conceived as an encounter between ingredient, technique and emotion.
Each menu gives particular attention to:
• the purity and quality of the ingredients;
• precision in cooking;
• careful seasoning;
• balance between textures and flavours;
• the richness of Mauritius’ culinary heritage
Drawing from both land and sea, the experience finds a natural balance between lightness and indulgence, tradition and contemporary expression and pleasure and wellbeing.
It is food designed to nourish the body, awaken the senses and tell something of the island through every mouthful. To eat well is also to care for oneself, consciously, thoughtfully and with pleasure.
Each evening, our team presents a different menu inspired by the theme of the day. The menu is available in our restaurants upon advance request.
| MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY | FRIDAY | SATURDAY | SUNDAY |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Freshness & Balance | Flavour & Vitality | Treasures of the Lagoon | Sea & Umami | Terroir & Character | Garden & Sea | Sunshine & Energy |
