From 21 – 26 April, the beautiful beachside resort will be spoiling guests with an array of chocolate-themed activities from cookery courses and yoga, to an Easter egg hunt for the whole family.

Throughout the Easter holidays, guests can knock back “choctails” by the pool or enjoy chocolate pizzas on the beach as part of a special picnic box created by the resort’s restaurant, Spoon Des Iles headed by three Michelin starred chef, Alain Ducasse.

A real treat for the epicurean aficionado, Harlan Goldstein, ‘chef to the rich and famous’ and one of Hong Kong’s most famous culinary celebrities, will be hosting a ladies cookery class in the One&Only Le Saint Géran gardens based on recipes from his new cookery book.

On Easter Sunday, a champagne breakfast buffet will be served followed by an Easter egg hunt with special prizes awarded, while in the evening guests can enjoy Chef Sebastien Ehret’s Easter gala buffet featuring a spectacular and lavish chocolate display. After dinner, an Easter show will take place on the dance floor before guests can dance the night away to the sounds of Famous 9 – a band which has performed with many different artists including Chris de Burgh, Whitney Houston and Boy George. On Easter Monday there will be a special lunch buffet with live jazz – the perfect end to a relaxing and indulgent Easter break.

The chocolate-fuelled experience continues in the spa where guests are offered post treatment chocolate tea while the more adventurous guest can enjoy Hatha yoga and a dark chocolate treat where the natural high from yoga combined with the endorphin high of eating raw chocolate gives devotees a greater state of relaxation and happiness.
