Renting a villa in Mauritius means a more relaxed pace of stay, especially valued by families and groups of friends. Everyone can set their own pace for the day, coming together for meals or moments of relaxation while still keeping more private spaces to retreat to. In properties with a pool, this often becomes a real hub of family life, with swims, quiet moments and time spent together on the terrace or in the garden.
Some properties also offer direct access to the sea, making it easy to move between swims in the lagoon and time by the pool. It's a natural way to make the most of the Mauritian climate, with more space and flexibility day to day.
Villas in Mauritius are spread across several coastal regions, each with its own character and appeal:
• The North, around Grand Baie, Trou aux Biches and Roches Noires: the liveliest part of the island, with beautiful beaches, plenty of restaurants and a stronger sense of local life. Well suited to those who want easy access to nightlife and activities.
• The East, around Belle Mare, Trou d'Eau Douce and Poste Lafayette: a quieter stretch of coast, lined with long beaches and calm lagoons. In this part of the island, Anahita also offers a residential setting between a golf course and the lagoon.
• The West, around Flic-en-Flac, Black River, Tamarin and Le Morne: a region valued for its scenery, its sunsets and its proximity to the Black River Gorges, with plenty of opportunities for water sports.
• The South, around Bel Ombre: a more unspoilt, green setting, valued in particular for its tranquillity, its natural surroundings and its golf courses.
From your villa in Mauritius, days can move from the lagoon to the inland hills without covering long distances. From Trou d'Eau Douce, a boat trip to Île aux Cerfs makes it easy to combine swimming, snorkelling and water sports in the clear waters of the east coast.
To the west, Le Morne is one of the island's major landmarks, known for its beaches, kitesurfing and the walking trails around the mountain. Further on towards Chamarel, the waterfall and the Seven Coloured Earths make for another excursion, while the Black River Gorges offer several trails through dense tropical vegetation.
For a change of scenery, the Pamplemousses Botanical Garden and Mahébourg Market offer another side of the island. Catamaran trips and diving round out the activities at sea, before sampling curries, rougailles and other Mauritian specialities.
