The perfect holiday resort is Bel Ombre
The south coast makes for wonderfully dramatic scenery
The south coast is more rugged than the rest of the island and its more varied topography, especially towards Le Morne, makes for wonderfully dramatic scenery.
There are fewer swimming beaches here - and therefore less development - and many locals say that the Mauritius south coast still reminds them of the way most of the island used to be: wild, beautiful and authentic.
This is the best place to visit if you want to get off-the-beaten track and insert some adventure into your beach break.
I have travelled to Mauritius several times and explored the island in depth. From boutique beach hideaways to luxury resorts and scenic inland adventures, I know the best places to stay and explore. I’d love to help plan your trip.
