Mauritius - Anse la Raie - Chamarel
Secret Mauritius
Anse la Raie - The beach as far as the eye can see
Located on the island’s north coast, your first retreat balances modern comfort with a decor where natural wood, shimmering silks and vibrant colours are reminiscent of colonial India. Nestled in a lush tropical garden, the rooms curve around a sheltered cove fringed with white sand. This particularly romantic hotel looks out over one of the island’s largest turquoise lagoons and has a splendid view of the small islands scattered on the sea. Its beach, numerous "love nests" and the beautiful spa make it the perfect place for couples to unwind together.Chamarel - A garden treasure trove
After the beach, fresh air and nature, and the romantic setting of an eco-lodge nestled in a verdant valley near the Ebony Forest Reserve in Chamarel. Surrounded by seven hectares (17 acres) of rare plants, it features a meditation labyrinth, open-air showers, and a colonial-style lounge for tea. The rooms are like small Creole cottages, with all modern comforts. Meals are served "in the garden". Homemade bread, eggs from the neighbouring farm and orchard jams are available in the morning. As night falls the chef serves typical Mauritian food such as fricassée, rougaille or a Mauritian barbecue.
Itinerary
100% customisable for you
Night on board, arrival the next day.
Private transfer on your arrival and check-in for five nights at your first accommodation, by the beach, in Anse la Raie. Located on the north coast of the island, sheltered from the winds, this hotel nestles in a beautiful tropical garden and offers spectacular views of the northern islands. The facilities blend traditional Mauritian architecture with a contemporary design. With its private beach, attentive staff, and spacious rooms, every detail matters here. For the more active guests, a wide range of activities is available on site: windsurfing, water skiing, kayaking, canoe trips, yoga.
Things to see and do - Join the lively terraces of Grand Baie; slip on fins, mask and snorkel to explore the lagoon and its reefs; cycle to the endemic garden of Anse la Raie or the fishing village of Cap Malheureux; nap or read by the sea, in the shade of the palm trees
. Already planned: a yoga session at sunrise.
Scheduled - A day cruise off the northern islands. Coin de Mire is an island a few kilometres off the north coast, opposite Anse la Raie. Île Plate, meanwhile, is a little further away.
