Olympic Champion and Influencer Escape Wedding Drama at £6,000-a-Night Mauritian Paradise
Olympic swimming champion Adam Peaty, 31, and his new wife, influencer Holly Ramsay, 26, have traded domestic turmoil for tropical tranquillity on their belated honeymoon. The couple are currently residing at the ultra-exclusive One&Only Le Saint Géran resort in Mauritius, a prestigious five-star hotel and spa complex where suites can command over £6,000 per night.
A Wedding Overshadowed by Family Strife
Their idyllic escape follows a wedding day at Bath Abbey on December 27th that laid bare significant fractures within Adam's family. A dramatic fallout, which began when Adam's mother, Caroline Peaty, was uninvited from Holly's hen party at Soho Farmhouse, escalated into a series of arguments involving his brother, James.
By the time of the ceremony, Adam's sister Bethany was the only member of his immediate family in attendance. His parents, Caroline and Mark, remained at their Staffordshire home, over 130 miles away. Caroline later expressed being "heartbroken" and "beside herself" with grief over the exclusion.
Luxury Funded by the Ramsays
The couple's lavish 10-day retreat to the Indian Ocean island has been gifted as a wedding present by Holly's father, celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay. In an interview with British Vogue, Holly revealed, "We're going to Mauritius to just lie by the sea - that was our wedding present from my parents." This comment was viewed by some as a veiled reference to Adam's absent parents.
Gordon Ramsay and his wife Tana are themselves repeat visitors to Le Saint Géran, making an annual pilgrimage each January. Tana has described these trips as crucial "boyfriend/girlfriend" holidays for the couple.
Inside the Opulent One&Only Le Saint Géran
Set on a private peninsula with 1.5 kilometres of pristine white sand beach, the resort is a haven of luxury. Guests can arrive via a private helicopter pad just steps from the shore or utilise a chauffeur-driven car service.
The accommodation is nothing short of spectacular:
- Suites feature high ceilings, marble floors, and marine-toned furnishings.
- A three-bed beach suite with breakfast is currently priced at £6,212 per night.
- Private villas on the estate have reportedly sold for up to $13.6 million (£10.1 million).
The resort boasts an array of world-class amenities:
- Dining: Five restaurants, including Tapasake for Japanese tapas, Prime steakhouse, and Le Badamier for Mauritian cuisine.
- Spa: A Guerlain spa with 12 marble treatment rooms and a relaxation pool, offering everything from deep-tissue massages to holistic rituals.
- Activities: Three swimming pools, tennis, paddleboarding, kayaking, private cruises, fishing, diving, and guided hikes.
A Getaway from the Glare
The newlyweds delayed their departure for several weeks after their December wedding due to Adam's prior commitment to compete in the "Swimming With The Stars" event in Romania. They finally jetted out from London last Sunday.
Since arriving, they have been spotted "very loved-up and relaxed" according to an onlooker, with Adam happily chatting and posing for selfies with locals. Holly has shared a series of curated snaps on Instagram, including photos by the beach and beside a pool, captioned "Honeymoon so far featuring palm trees…".
Before departing, Holly teased followers with a picture of her hand luggage—a Christian Dior handbag paired with snorkelling flippers—writing, "The most chic hand luggage, thanks to my husband."
Unresolved Tensions at Home
While the couple bask in Mauritian sunshine, tensions in the UK remain raw. The wedding was further complicated by Gordon Ramsay's father-of-the-bride speech at the reception at Kin House, where he reportedly made comments interpreted as a dig at Adam's absent parents.
Adam, in his own speech, notably did not mention his parents, instead praising his swim coach, Mel Marshall, saying he saw her "like a mum". This omission, coupled with the text message sent to Adam by his aunt Louise just before the ceremony—which read, "Shame on you both"—highlights the depth of the familial rift.
For now, Adam Peaty and Holly Ramsay have found a temporary sanctuary on one of the world's most exclusive coastlines, far from the drama that engulfed their wedding day.
