Extensive Activities
A wide range of included sports and leisure activities, spanning land and water sports, flying trapeze, and fitness classes, caters exceptionally well to all interests and activity levels.
Serene Natural Setting
The secluded location on a wild cove, surrounded by lush tropical gardens and offering stunning ocean views, provides a tranquil and picturesque backdrop for a luxurious escape.
Aging Facilities
Some guests note that certain areas or facilities of the resort could benefit from updates or a 'facelift,' suggesting minor wear and tear that might impact the overall modern feel.
Secluded Location's Impact
While tranquil, the resort's secluded nature means limited external dining or entertainment options, necessitating guests to plan excursions for exploring beyond the property.
Additional Costs for Premiums
Guests should budget for extra costs for high-end spa treatments, specific premium alcoholic drinks, PADI diving courses, and external excursions, as these are not part of the comprehensive all-inclusive package.
Beach for Activities
The main beach, while beautiful and ideal for water sports, is generally perceived as being more for activities rather than expansive lounging compared to other larger Mauritian beaches.

Club Med
Club Med La Plantation d'Albion occupies a position on Mauritius's west coast near Albion — a less-developed stretch compared to the northern Grand Baie hotel corridor. The 2022 renovation by Studio MHNA refreshed the beach lounge, Zen Zone, and main bars without a full rebuild, which means some older facility areas are still present. The resort carries Exclusive Collection status, the highest tier in Club Med's lineup, which translates to a higher staff ratio, more personalized service, and villa accommodations as the flagship category.
The villa inventory is the defining product here. 2, 3, and 4-bedroom villas give groups and large families a configuration rarely available in the all-inclusive format — a private living area, multiple bedrooms, and pool access at the villa-suite level. For families traveling with extended family or friend groups sharing costs, the 4-bedroom villa format represents genuinely unusual value in the Mauritius luxury all-inclusive market.
The Exclusive Collection designation also means the flying trapeze school is included, the kids' clubs are among the most staffed in Club Med's Indian Ocean portfolio, and the GO team quality is consistently rated highly. The water sports program covers sailing, snorkeling, and archery — substantial for an Exclusive Collection property.
The honest limitation: the resort's beach is on Mauritius's west coast, which means the trade wind pattern creates rougher sea conditions more frequently than the calmer north coast lagoons. On windy days, beach swimming can be limited. The sunset views from the west-facing beach are excellent when conditions cooperate.
Practical context: Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport is approximately 50–60 minutes away. Six room categories from standard Superior through 4-bedroom villa. Price tier: at the top of the Club Med range and among the higher all-inclusive price points in Mauritius.
