Le Jadis Beach Resort & Wellness - Managed by Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts

Hotel is amazing, peaceful, clean, friendly staff and great layout.

We recently spent a week at Le Jadis celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary, and it exceeded all expectations. The views were beautiful. The food was delicious at all restaurants, especially the seafood and the breakfast buffet with its fresh local cuisine and tropical fruits. We stayed in a spacious villa that had a convenient umbrella (for the occasional rain shower) and useful mosquito plug. We visited during off-season and enjoyed how quiet it was. We barely saw other guests, except at mealtimes. While the beaches are public, we noted how the workers walking past the villa didn't even glance our way, respecting our privacy. The staff were all exceptionally friendly. I'd like to shout out to Joey at the boathouse/aqua hut. He went over and above to show us the coral reefs in the glass bottom boat, showed us where to snorkel and identified the various fish we ran into. The highlight was spotting the inquisitive and friendly black fish. The waiters were all very friendly and courteous. Special shout out to waiters Yuvneesh, Kesigan, Ali at the pool bar and Tina for their great treatment and for making us laugh. Thank you to Norbert and Justice at reception for helping us. A few practical notes for future travelers: - Our South African 3-point plugs didn't work, so bring an adaptor if you require use of a CPAP machine. The resort does offer international adapters at reception, but not the 3 point round ones SA uses. - Like many tropical destinations, tap water isn't recommended for drinking, but the resort thoughtfully provided plenty of complimentary bottled water in our room daily. - The beach offers beautiful views and clear waters, though the sand is more coarse than the fine pale sand of the lower west coast. We'd recommend bringing water shoes to fully enjoy exploring the shoreline and reef areas. The snorkelling was spectacular. - We experienced a few light rain showers, which were actually quite refreshing and gave us perfect excuses to escape the heat and relax on our balcony with. - Our sea view was slightly affected by some old, large, grey dock floaters placed near our room, likely due to a recent storm. Fortunately, the ferns and palms surrounding our accommodation provided some natural screening. - There was some construction work happening in the adjacent natural area, but the soothing sounds of running water helped mask the noise. If you're looking for a quiet, romantic getaway with excellent service and dining, we highly recommend Le Jadis.

I had the pleasure of spending an unforgettable time at Le Jadis Resort with a close friend, and it was truly an exceptional experience. Our day began with an incredible buffet breakfast, which was nothing short of spectacular. The highlight was having a chef preparing fresh omelettes right in front of us, alongside a wide variety of options including fresh fruit, breads, pastries, smoked salmon, and an assortment of sauces. It was the perfect way to start the morning. After breakfast, we took some time to relax by the beach, enjoying the serene atmosphere. We then treated ourselves to two soothing full-body massages at the spa, which were the ultimate indulgence and left us feeling completely refreshed. The resort itself is a true paradise, with a friendly and attentive staff that made sure every need was met. Our room was spacious, well-organized, and had all the amenities we could have hoped for. Le Jadis is the ideal retreat for anyone seeking a peaceful getaway, delicious food, and a focus on relaxation. Highly recommended – a perfect 10 out of 10!
