BLINK Design Group has unveiled the Guerlain Spa at One&Only Le Saint Géran, marking the arrival of the French beauty brand’s first location in Mauritius.
The design studio drew inspiration from the island’s vibrant contrasts—volcanic rock, lush jungle, and turquoise lagoons—to craft a serene wellness destination rooted in placemaking and nature.
Island luxe at the new Guerlain Spa
The spa’s interiors channel a sense of grounded luxury with French-inflected design cues layered over an island palette. Soft light and muted tones are paired with warm natural textures like straw marquetry, sisal rugs, and carved timber, alongside local stone, antique bronze, rattan, and shimmering Mother of Pearl wall elements in the single treatment rooms.
Treatment rooms embody a soothing atmosphere thanks to natural ventilation and abundant daylight, while the relaxation lounge opens to a lush spa pool framed by wooden cabanas and gently arched trees.
Green walls and organic materials further blur the lines between indoors and out, creating an immersive, nature-connected experience grounded in the spirit of Mauritius.
“We are delving more and more into specialized spa design,” says BLINK Design Group founding partner Clint Niagara. “It’s a field with unique demands and the focus is on creating spaces where transcendent experiences can occur. We see our role as enhancing and facilitating and extending the treatments and experiences offered to guests through subtle and intelligent design touches and by creating the mood and vibe.”
