Virgin Holidays View
Steeped in rich Creole and French heritage, the Merville Beach is a much-loved hotel in a stunning location, overlooking a glistening lagoon and just minutes from Grand Baie, the heart of the island’s very own Riviera and very much the place to be! All rooms and bungalows feature traditional stone walls, bamboo thatched roofs and bright, inviting decor, reflecting perfectly the vibrant energy of island life. Wander through leafy tropical gardens down to the shoreline and indulge in a few complimentary water sports. There are also land sports galore including floodlit tennis courts and petanque or hire a bike and head to one of the scenic villages nearby. As you’re on holiday, a spot of pampering is essential with the LUX* Me Spa offering an incredible range of indulgent treatments. There’s also a lovely swimming pool to relax by, sipping an island cocktail courtesy of La Terasse Bar. At night the pace livens up with live music and cabaret to get your toes tapping! Alternatively, enjoy a romantic meal for two at Le Badamier Restaurant, serving an enticing selection of Creole, French and Chinese dishes alongside breathtaking sea views.
