La Plantation d'Albion Club Med Mauritius

Highly recommend this holiday, if you want a true holiday in an amazing location, go there! Small buildings scattered in a lovely park, infinity pools and great atmosphere!

We had an excellent stay at Club Med — a truly wonderful experience once again! It was our third visit, and we have never been disappointed.

The buffet is excellent, the comfort is impeccable, and the setting is absolutely perfect for relaxing. The entire team was warm and attentive, which made our stay even more enjoyable.

Overall, we highly recommend it — and we will gladly return!

Our stay at Club Med Albion was absolutely wonderful — a true haven of peace where luxury meets warmth.
We spent an unforgettable week in October in this magnificent village, where you truly feel the Exclusive Collection touch while still feeling perfectly at home. The setting is breathtaking, and the entire atmosphere simply serene.

What makes this place so special is, above all, the incredible G.O and G.E teams, who make every moment joyful and effortless. Every department — from the boutique to the bar, the restaurant (always excellent!), the reception, the housekeeping, and beyond — radiates kindness and professionalism.

A huge thank you to the amazing Chef de Village, Mehdi, for his warm welcome, his constant smile, and his kind words throughout the week, and to his dynamic deputy Romain, who made sure we were part of every fun happening!

At the reception and planning desk, Julia and Agathe went above and beyond — always available, efficient, and full of laughter (and great company at dinner too!).
Avi, the ever-energetic Family Manager, brought his contagious energy to every Crazy Signs and activity — always helpful, always smiling.
And a big thank you to Julien, the sports manager, for his kindness and good humor, as well as to the entire sailing team (Ashley, Kiran, Thibault, Chris, Karan, Jean-Yves, Sam, and of course Diego & Coco, the true heart of the sailing team) who welcomed us with enthusiasm, guided us on snorkeling adventures, and made every water activity both safe and so much fun.

The circus team, with Sven, Opic, Ami & Joséphine, made us dream (and fly!) — full of encouragement, patience, and laughter.

The restaurant teams and the wonderful sommeliers made every meal memorable, while the bar team — Ethan, Michael, Axel, Maita and the others — kept the festive spirit alive every evening with their delicious cocktails and good vibes.

And of course, the boutique team was always super welcoming. A special mention to Seline, whose energy every evening was truly contagious — she always managed to brighten our nights with her smile.

And of course, Mocine deserves a special mention for bringing such a fun and lively atmosphere to every show and event — a true master of good energy!

To be completely honest, among all the amazing G.Os we’ve met over the years, Avi, Agathe, Julien and Julia are truly some of our absolute favorites of all time — the kind of G.Os who make a stay unforgettable.

Every evening was filled with music, laughter, and joy — the perfect mix of relaxation and celebration.

In the end, what makes Club Med Albion truly unique is not only the beauty of the place, but the heart and passion of its people.
Thank you to each and every one of you for making our stay so special — we left with our hearts full and already dreaming of coming back.

This was our third Club Med holiday after visiting the Seychelles and Maldives over the past two years. The bar was high. Happy to report that it was met 😉

Let me say state why. We are a Swiss Swedish couple with a 6 years old. We felt the same hospitality and kindness towards us as to the 90% French guests.

The food was outstanding and catered towards different tastes. You could indulge or eat healthy - the were a variety of options including kids of course! My favorite were the Indian and local Mauritian dishes. Rishi and Sumit from the restaurant team took good care of us and always gave us a nice table.

We had a suite (117) which had beach access. This was great in the late afternoon for our daughter to look for shells while we enjoyed a cocktail on the terrace. Nazli, our cleaner, surprised our daughter every day with new animals made out of towels eg a sloth, elephant, swans etc. She made our stay even more special besides ensuring we always had clean and comfortable rooms.

Our daughter of purse also enjoyed the kids club activities. Michael took good care of our daughter as with many French kids it was overwhelming at times if you only spoke English and German. So she spent some time with Michael and the Kids Club and other times with us. Of course the daily Trapeze and visit to the circus team lead by Sven was a must. Can only recommend it. Very professional and yet very exciting! Well done

Lastly, the chef the village ensure that he greeted all guests on a daily basis. Ps he can also sing chansons. A must to hear him sing!

Once again - a fanatic Club Med holiday. Well done to the Chef and his fantastic team

Kids club - a massive thank you to
Sophye! She had so much energy and care for our boys, the loved playing with the kids club. She sent us videos of them playing and was just amazing with the kids. This is really handy if you want to use the zen infinity pool. Although I’ve mentioned Sophie specially the whole crew were so nice.

Word to the wise, you can book per day or half day which works out £35 per half day. They also do an evening session as well. But you can book adhoc and it seems you need to book a week block but you don’t . That only applies to mini club med.

Cleaning & Rooms- we had Jeanie and she kept the room spotless! We had room 237 near the kid club and quite close to reception. She was so polite and realised we had a small one and installed a bed barrier to stop him falling out without asking. We saw her a few times and asked if the room was ok for us. She did an excellent job.

The whole place was spotless. I want to do a shout out to the garden crew as the grounds were beautiful. It does not like easy work but they made it a beautiful place!

We stayed in a superior garden view room. The view was nice but our friends has the sea view. My advice is if you can afford that bit more - do the sea view! Its amazing! The beds were so comfy. We slept like babies! The rooms have an iron and ironing board, little coffee machines (lavazza pods)

Food - excellent. The main restaurant is located overlooking the ocean. Really nice food and it’s a buffet style but the choice and quality was the best we have had. What we liked was the fact they themed it up. One night we had a bbq on the beach (white party) and another was a fish themed night with a Parisian show. A little shout out to Prima who was wonderful
With the kids!
We also ate at Le Pharh restaurant. Ryan was great at late breakfast as well as Vidhya who was excellent helping with reservations when the app was down. We did have a bad day when they seemed understaffed there and our SA friends bought some wine over from SA and were sometimes told to pay corkage. Their argument was that the wine was bad (muscat blend but the red was passable). Anyway it got overlooked but watch out. They will serve the local stuff but if you as for Smirnoff or something of that ilk they will do it but .. you need to
Ask! A little shout out to Dirish who was a lovely waiter/barman. Really attentive!

Pools - there are two pools. Now a point to make is that the man pool hosts aqua aerobics at 11.45 which in itself is fine but they use the shallow bit (where my kid was playing) and we sort of got booted out. Since the other pool is Zen and adults only (it’s lovely no complaints) i wasn’t overly happy being told to move to the deep bit with a 3 year old. Maybe use half the shallow bit as a compromise?

Gym - im a sad gym goer on holiday as i had time to do it. Well kept, plenty of towels there, water machine, I had nothing to complain about. It’s a hotel gym and ticked the boxes for me so was pleased. There is a steam room and sauna attached although I didn’t use them.

Activities - I thought they were quite a lot but my SA friends said it could do more. Scuba diving , snorkelling (go out on a boat), archery, golf, driving range etc… all included. We did the archery which we just had a pop at and our friends did paddle which looked fun and would loved to have tried but we were avec kids so we didn’t get the chance. Long and short we thought there was loads to do and loads we didn’t get time to try.

Overall a really great holiday and we would love to go back. We didn’t actually want to leave which is rare for us!
