A swathe of talcum-powder sands, lapped by the crystal waters of the Indian Ocean and lined by swaying palms and the thatched roofs of a Mediterranean-style village - its impossible to imagine a more romantic setting than that of Le Touessrok, a member of 'The Leading Hotels of the World'. Stepping in to the dramatic, light filled lobby, with views across the free-form pool to the curving Trou d'Eau Douce Bay, the scene is set. From here, it is a stroll over the wooden bridge to Frangipani Island, home to many of the resort's contemporary suites, or you could opt for a secluded Three Bedroom Villa with private garden, infinity-edge pool and panoramic ocean vistas- ideal for families.
