Gilles has been with Four Seasons for the past 14 years and has worked with the group in Bora Bora, Beverly Hills and most recently Dubai.

Prior to Four Seasons, Gilles spent over 17 years working with Sofitel Hotels & Resorts (Accor).

“It’s an incredible time to be joining the resort. The newly refurbished outlets and excitement of reopening bring even greater momentum to each day,” Gilles said. “Mauritius is famous for its diverse culture and from this comes a rich variety of much-loved local dishes that are accessible to everyone who visits the island – not too bold or spicy, but full of flavour. This innate island passion for food is what we want to show through our new culinary offerings, as we highlight the very best of Mauritius through both the ingredients and the craftsmanship of our team.”

Gilles will oversee BluBar and the resort’s five restaurants: the new seafood-inspired Asian restaurant of Umi.Zaka; the central beach hub of Bambou; Italian dishes at Acquapazza; the modern French bistro of Beau Champ; and La Plaz beach grill, which is located on the exclusive Four Seasons beach on the nearby island of Ile aux Cerfs and reached via a 15-minute boat ride from the resort.

Gilles graduated from the Culinary Schoolhux in Brest, France.
