Le Prince Maurice chose the humble but symbolic nutmeg for its logo, evoking the splendor of centuries past, when Mauritius used to be a key stopover for Portuguese and Dutch traders sailing the fabled spice route around the horn of Africa. Today the splendor lives on in the careful sprinkling of suites and private swimming pools of this exceptional hideaway, which offers guests a degree of seclusion and privacy rarely found in the world.
