Most of the places listed here
are within easy reach of the villa, especially if you have a car.
Local to the villa, there are the
Black River Gorges, the Macabée Forest and the Yemen, regions you
can discover on foot or by car.
The area has everything you need:
Doctors, Chemists, Supermarkets and Restaurants - Chinese, European,
Indian and Creole.
La Preneuse with its white and sandy beach and Tamarin Bay, are
approximately 15 minutes walk away. Dolphins can be seen swimming
here and it is ideal for snorkelling and surfing. Flic en Flac with a casino and night life is a ten minute
drive away.
Visiting the Ruisseau Créole commercial village where shopping is
synonymous with relaxation and pleasure with its 60 boutiques, 5
restaurants, a spa and bars is a must.
Curepipe, known as the most European of our towns, because of its
wet and cold climate, has some good shopping addresses. However, the
main attraction of Curepipe is its extinct volcano, Trou aux Cerfs.
It is an 85 metres deep and 200 metres wide crater, offering a
unique panoramic view of the central plateau from its summit.
Trou aux Cerfs, near Curepipe and
45 minutes away by car, is an extinct volcanic crater, Chamarel with its 7 coloured earth, Ile aux Aigrettes, an island on
the South East Coast, which is a natural reserve are among many
sites you can experience during your stay.
There are also a number of museums, fortifications, churches,
galleries, colonial houses that are opened to the public. These
places are a heritage of the island’s rich colonial culture and
history.
Champ de Mars, in the capital, is another place to visit especially
during the racing season (April to December). It is the oldest race
course (1812) in the Indian Ocean and the second oldest in the
southern hemisphere.
In Port-Louis, the capital, approximately an hour away by car, you can see the old colonial buildings,
its paved roads, the National History Museum, the Government House,
seat of the Mauritius assembly and the Port-Louis Theatre
constructed in 1822. More recently built, The Caudan and Port-Louis
Waterfront shelter a number of restaurants, cafés, bars, cinemas,
duty-free shop, crafts shop and a casino.
Rose-Hill: After Port Louis, Rose-Hill situated in the district of
Plaines Wilhems, and half an hour drive away from the villa, is the most commercial of all the other towns. It
has a number of shopping arcades and shops and has a busy market.
The main feature of Rose-Hill is its theatre, Le Plaza, which has
become the most important landmark of the cultural life of the
island. Plays, concerts, operas are regularly held within its walls.
Near it is the Max Boullé art gallery where Mauritian artists
regularly hold exhibitions.
