Location
Stretching languorously along the silky, sandy beach of the north coast, Legends promises Zen relaxation based on harmony and well-being. The Chinese philosophy of Feng Shui pervades the hotel. There is equilibrium of Water, Earth, Wood, Fire and Metal, which helps positive energy to circulate. This, the only Feng Shui hotel in the Indian Ocean, provides a luxurious opportunity for the body and soul to repose awhile. Space, the natural or dark brown shades of the decor, the beauty of bamboo, the stone walls and the gentle sound of the chimes - all are reminders that this is a Feng Shui world.
