Location
A prime seaside location, one of the most beautiful beaches on the island, a sense of space. This resort, on the stunning and preserved eastern coast of Mauritius, on a kilometer-long beach, is the perfect combination for guests looking to experience the lagoon and the beach at its best. With its thatched roofs, its whitewashed walls and huge bougainvillea, the hotel is bursting with seaside charm. The sea is omnipresent here, with translucent blue waters bordered by an endless white beach. Those who love sea sports will be particularly spoilt. To the North of the hotel is Roches-Noires, which as its name (“Black Rocks”) indicates, consists of volcanic rocks - molten lava - that leaked into the sea before cooling off and forming natural steps. Palmar has some of the nicest beaches around and a vast lagoon. The East coast is known for being breezy in the winter (to the delight of kite and wind-surfers). Catamaran excursions are a great way to navigate around the smaller islands, including the popular Ile aux Cerfs and Ile aux Aigrettes, a sanctuary in the South of the island. The East coast of the island is well preserved and full of colourful history. It’s certainly worth taking the time to explore the little villages and towns to discover a warm and hospitable island.
