Le Touessrok

5 April 2012

A combination of damn fine international cooking in seven restaurants, dedicated staff, a busy night scene and Bounty-paradise flourishes (conical thatch, bridged turquoise pools) have made this whitewashed 200-room hulk-on-a-headland a legend among lounger lizards and their offspring (who get their own fully staffed Sun Kids Club). All the same, busy foyer ceramics and fussy-florid room furnishings suggest a resort ripe for refurbishment. Indeed, owner Sun International has sketched an imminent overhaul to expand and upgrade 130 rooms (halving the number), while introducing a (mootedly Givenchy) spa and 18-hole golf course on nearby Ile aux Cerfs. In the meantime, Le Touessrok's unique selling point remains its location: a vast sheet of shimmering aquamarine as far as the eye can see, beyond the several small sandy sweeps seconds from suites; then there's Ilot Mangenie - a casuarinapine-clad private islet served by resort boat - where champagne brunches and beachy indolence prevail. From £1,625 through Sovereign Worldwide (08705 768 373).
