Mauritius Resorts

Trou aux Biches - Renowned as the best beach resort in Mauritius for its safe bathing and miles of fine silver sand, Trou aux Biches offers the best in secure beach-front accommodation standards, availability of water sports activities and its proximity to all tourist attractions. Trou aux Biches is also famous for its under-water life and beautiful corals and divers believe it is the best coast to go diving owing to its fabulous beauty and colourful underwater life.

Mont Choisy - Stretching from Trou aux Biches Village Hotel to Mont Choisy beach, the longest and most popular public beach in Mauritius, is the residential/beach-hotel area commonly called Mont Choisy. Its white band of powder sand, more than a mile long, curves along its turquoise bay and the inviting shade of the casuarina trees. Villas and apartments chosen stretch from Trou aux Biches to the beginning of the public beach, providing residents with access to several beach areas. These villas and bungalows are close enough to Grand Bay, the popular tourist resort, to be accessible by car or public transport within 5 minutes but far enough to enjoy peace of mind and privacy sought by most visitors.

Pointe aux Canonniers - Stretching from the well-known Choisy beach to Grand Bay is Pointe aux Canonniers, well-known by regular visitors to Club Med. While sea-bathing is not fabulous owing to shallow water beyond Club Med, the inviting Mont Choisy bay is only a few minutes walk away with its turquoise lagoon and gentle waves lapping the shore. The Club Med allows non-resident tourists to take advantage of its restaurants, bar and evening shows against modest fees (very useful for evening entertainment), and if you prefer the bustle of Grand Bay and its numerous restaurants, duty-free shops and its festive atmosphere it is less than a kilometre away.

Grand Bay, Pereybere and Cap Malheureux - The hub of tourist activities in Mauritius. Alive all day and all night long with an incredible array of restaurants, bars and night-clubs as well as fashion and specialist shops stretching along its yacht studded turquoise bay, Grand Bay is the tourist show-case where big game fishing, outer islands sailing trips, under-water walking and other attractions are there for your enjoyment. We have chosen a wide variety of accommodation, from the most luxurious properties to the more moderately-priced properties, and further north, between Pereybere and Cap Malheureux, have added several beach houses with swimming pools.

Calodyne/Grand Gaube - In the north-east, not far from Cap Malheureux, this small fishing village is a quiet resort with a couple of hotels and a few private bungalows. At Calodyne, some 2 kms before reaching the village of Grand Gaube, we have chosen the comfortable bungalow/hotel complex Calodyne-sur-Mer and added a couple of delightful beach bungalows in Grand Gaube, a stone's throw from the fish landing station where fresh fish and lobsters can be bought and enjoyed practically everyday, and more recently added a dainty beach complex of 6 duplex houses around a lovely swimming pool.

Poste Lafayette/Roches Noires - Poste Lafayette is a lovely and peaceful resort that reveals the authentic and unspoilt Mauritius, perfectly convenient for a peaceful stay and unforgettable souvenirs. Being on the east coast, whilst the other popular resorts in the west and north-west suffer from the heat during the summer months (November to March), Poste Lafayette remains cool and enjoys a pleasant climate. On the other hand, during the winter months, it is more windy than the west coast. That is the reason why Kite Surfing is very popular on that stretch of coast, We have chosen for you two sea-front establishments which we believe offer the best all-round amenities and comfort, namely La Colombiere and Coral Beach, and recently added several beach properties from budget bungalows to high-class villas to the portfolio.
Roches Noires is the exclusive residential beach resort par excellence. Only a few kilometres from Poste Lafayette, it conceals several luxury beach houses sometimes behind high walls. We have chosen for you several of these lovely residences conveniently located on one of the best beaches of Mauritius.

Trou d'Eau Douce - We have included a couple of small hotels on this beautiful beach practically opposite the well-known "Ile aux Cerfs", the most favourite excursion destination for everyone visiting Mauritius. Silver Beach Hotel and Bougainville Hotel provide excellent value next to 5 star hotels on this stretch of the coast

Pointe d'Esny/Blue Bay - Right opposite l'ile aux Aigrettes is Pointe d'Esny, a quiet resort between Mahebourg and Blue Bay. Rather windy in winter, it is glorious during the summer month when swimming in the lagoon and lazing in the warm sun are at their best. We have chosen for you a very comfortable bungalow sleeping 8 guests right on the beach at Pointe D'esny as well as a beach complex offering very comfortable studios and apartments, while in Blue Bay we have chosen a cluster of small apartments and comfortable studios right on the beach. To continue our drive for finding good value smaller hotels around the coast to complement our self-catering villas, we have added the recently refurbished Blue Lagoon Hotel as well as beauiful Le Preskil Hotel and Resort. These two hotels are the closest to the international airport.

Souillac - On the southernmost tip of Mauritius, the awesome beauty of giant waves crashing on to Souillac's rugged coastline at Gris-Gris and its wild vegetation give a strange air of Brittany to this otherwise quiet and restful resort favoured by those who seek refuge from the madding crowd.

Le Morne- Going west now along the most beautiful part of the coast of Mauritius, through Baie du Cap and spectacular Maconde we arrive at Le Morne with its several famous hotels where we have chosen a small complex of 8 studios bordering on the Hotel Paradis golf course for those seeking budget accommodation. Close to several hotels with all their amenities the complex is within a private zone enjoying 24 hour security. Higher up Le Morne mountain and enjoying a fabulous view of the bay across the golf course are two of our top luxury villas.

Riviere Noire/Tamarin - Now going north along the west coast, some 15 minutes drive away, we reach Riviere Noire which is quite popular with those looking for exhilarating surfing emotions whilst holidaying at a slower pace. It is a peaceful resort famous for its big game fishing clubs, organisers of international fishing events. We have chosen two charming hotels for you, namely Island Sports Club and Tamarind Hotel, as well as a top-luxury beach-front villa: Tamarin House.

Flic en Flac - Still on the west coast, south of Port Louis, is the resort of Flic-en-Flac, a seaside village quite popular with tourists. Close to all amenities such as banks, restaurants, bars and night-clubs it is less than 1 km from casinos and beach hotels. Flic en Flac beach is more than a mile long and most popular with swimmers the whole year round. It should also be noted that Flic en Flac is a divers paradise where under-water caves and wrecks make their delight. Other than the usual sea-front apartments and off-beach villas, we have included accommodation offered by the Klondike Hotel, Le Pearle Beach Hotel and Villas Caroline, 3 popular Flic en Flac hotels, and added luxury villas in the most beautiful setting of Le Tamier complex with its huge swimming pool as a centre-piece in the most idyllic garden. We have recently increased your choice to include several apartment residences next door to Le Tamier: namely Le Dattier, Le Palmier, Blue Shell, Le Latanier, all from the same management company, and built and furnished to the same high standard.

Luxury beach houses - All around the coast are dozens of beach villas kept in pristine condition for their own private use by their wealthy owners. These houses are very rarely rented out and except for a few of them practically never during the high seasons: Easter, the month of August and the Christmas/New Year period. We have succeeded in obtaining some of these houses for our clients and for obvious reasons we can only list brief details of each to whet your appetite, and we shall only send relevant complementary details upon request. However, view this property Ref 4 Epices, a lovely mansion with 4 double bedrooms, all en-suite and air-conditioned, to appreciate the high quality of these properties. All our properties which can be seen on The Property Summary page are of very high standard and include many of these rare properties (ratings from 4-star to 5-star).
