The heritage of the setting and essence of the island

Featuring a soft, neutral palette of cool sandstone floors, cream walls and sun-drenched wood adorned with mother of pearl and silk accents, the simplicity of the island-inspired interior is enhanced by a collection of locally made artwork, connecting guests with the heritage of the setting and essence of the island. Mauritian artist Sarah Thompson designed two abstract ceramic pieces of art for Villa One, inspired by the underwater treasures of the Indian Ocean, for both the Master Bedroom and the Dining Room. Celebrating the local sea life, she utilised a sea urchin application on white with touches of glaze and metal. Helene de Senneville, turned to the lush tropical gardens for inspiration, her bespoke paintings and ceramic plates invoking the indigenous colourful flora and fauna. In the Master Bedroom, a contemporary figurative acrylic and gold silver leaf painting will be on display. She has also sourced old sketches and water coloured paintings representing Mauritian flora and fauna, an iconic lizard and the Mauritius of yesterday. In honour of One&Only Le Saint Géran’s distinguished heritage, the living room of Villa One will also house a selection of paintings that have been collected to reflect the resort’s 42-year history.
