Lakaz Chamarel: A Secluded Mountain Hideaway

Perched high in the lush hills of the Black River Gorges, Lakaz Chamarel offers a truly distinctive alternative to the typical coastal resorts of Mauritius. This boutique mountain lodge provides an immersive escape into the island’s verdant interior, where the air is cooler and the views across the rugged southwestern coast and the Indian Ocean are simply breath-taking.

We recommend Lakaz Chamarel for travellers who seek connection with nature, tranquillity, and a deeper exploration of the Mauritian landscape. Unlike the bustling beach properties, this eco-friendly retreat focuses on serenity and slow travel. We value this lodge for its commitment to preserving the environment and its unique design, which seamlessly blends into the surrounding forest.
