Based around the ancient Chinese philosophy of Feng Shui and built around a heavenly little bay with a beach of golden sand, Legends hotel Mauritius is the Zen place in which to unwind. The setting is delightful, with the tranquil lagoon looking out towards islets with enchanting names like Gunners Point, Flat Island and Sugar Loaf.
The emphasis is on being in harmony with your environment - and, of course, yourself. In Feng Shui, great emphasis is placed on the 5 elements of Water, Earth, Wood, Fire and Metal and the importance of colours, and this is reflected in the décor throughout the hotel. It is a place where everything feels right.
