Holly Ramsay and her husband, Olympic champion Adam Peaty, have been sharing idyllic snaps from their luxurious honeymoon in Mauritius, offering followers a glimpse into their £6,000-a-night getaway at the prestigious One&Only Le Saint Géran resort. The couple, who married in December, appear deeply relaxed and loved-up as they enjoy the sun-drenched paradise, a wedding gift from Holly's father, celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay.
A Picturesque Escape to a Legendary Resort
The newlyweds jetted off to the exclusive One&Only Le Saint Géran, one of Mauritius's most renowned five-star hotel and spa complexes, situated on a private peninsula. The resort, first built in 1975, has a storied history of hosting illustrious guests, including Nelson Mandela, George and Amal Clooney, Rihanna, and the Prince and Princess of Wales. With suites commanding over £6,000 per night and private villas reportedly sold for up to £10.1 million, the property epitomises luxury, offering amenities like a private helicopter pad and chauffeur-driven car services.
Sun-Kissed Snaps and Romantic Moments
Holly, the 26-year-old daughter of Gordon Ramsay, set temperatures soaring on Instagram by posing in a striking red bikini, accessorised with a crochet bucket hat and an open white shirt on the pristine beach. In subsequent posts, she shared cosy selfies with her shirtless husband, 31-year-old Adam Peaty, who showcased his toned physique. The album, captioned 'Honeymoon so far featuring palm trees…', also featured Holly in a green bikini with a Miu Miu hat and the couple enjoying sunset views over the ocean.
Adam was pictured tucking a flower behind his ear while exploring the resort, and the pair visited a local market, immersing themselves in the island's culture. An onlooker told the Daily Mail that the couple 'looked very loved-up and relaxed', with Adam happily stopping to chat with locals. Their 10-day escape was slightly delayed as Adam participated in a swimming competition in Romania, but they soon made up for lost time, hurrying to the white sand beaches upon arrival.
Family Ties and Underlying Tensions
The lavish trip was funded by Gordon Ramsay as a wedding present, a gesture Holly revealed in an interview with British Vogue. She noted, '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 subtle reference to Adam's parents, who were absent from the wedding due to a bitter family feud.
The couple's December wedding at Bath Abbey was marred by drama, as Adam's mother, Caroline Peaty, and most of his family were banned from attending. Reports indicate a fallout that began when Caroline wasn't invited to Holly's hen party at Soho Farmhouse, attended by figures like Victoria Beckham. During the reception, Gordon Ramsay's father-of-the-bride speech allegedly included pointed remarks, with guests claiming he told Holly, 'Shame you don't have the same', in reference to Adam's family situation.
Adam's emotional speech further highlighted the rift, as he praised his swim coach Mel Marshall for being like 'a mum', without mentioning his parents. Caroline, heartbroken and 'beside herself' with grief, expressed her devastation, stating she felt as if Holly and Adam 'have cut my heart out'. The conflict escalated with a distressing text message from Adam's aunt just before the ceremony, condemning his actions.
A Sanctuary from Wedding Drama
For Holly and Adam, the Mauritius honeymoon serves as a tranquil retreat from the familial tensions that overshadowed their big day. The Ramsays have a personal connection to Le Saint Géran, with Gordon and his wife Tana making annual visits each January, which Tana describes as essential 'boyfriend/girlfriend' holidays. As the couple unwind in this tropical haven, they focus on creating new memories, far removed from the controversies that dominated their wedding headlines.
