Everyone knows about the iconic spots—Le Morne, Île aux Cerfs, Chamarel. But the real magic? It's tucked away in places only the locals whisper about. Quiet beaches, forgotten trails, and villages where time stands still—that’s where the soul of Mauritius hides. Let’s uncover 7 secret spots that will make you feel like you’ve found your own private paradise:
Eau Bleue Waterfalls – A Turquoise Dream
Tucked away in the village of Cluny, Eau Bleue is a series of cascading waterfalls with stunning turquoise pools, perfect for a refreshing swim. Surrounded by lush greenery, this spot feels like a scene straight out of a tropical fairytale.
Pont Naturel – Where the Sea Crashes Wild
Located in the south near Le Souffleur, Pont Naturel is a natural rock bridge sculpted by volcanic activity and ocean waves. It's raw, dramatic, and far from the tourist crowds—ideal for adventurous souls craving scenic views and salty sea spray.
La Vallée de Ferney – Hidden Eden of Biodiversity
This protected nature reserve in the southeast is a sanctuary for rare endemic plants and birds. Go for a guided hike, breathe in the fresh forest air, and maybe spot the Mauritius kestrel flying overhead.
Roches Noires Lava Tubes – Underground Mysteries
Ever explored an ancient lava tunnel? The “Les Trois Cavernes” in Roches Noires offers a surreal underground adventure where you can walk through cooled lava formations and feel like you're discovering a secret world.
Gris-Gris & La Roche Qui Pleure – Nature’s Raw Power
Unlike the calm lagoons in the north, the southern coast reveals Mauritius’s wild side. Gris-Gris is a place where waves crash fiercely against cliffs. Nearby, “La Roche Qui Pleure” looks like a rock that weeps—a poetic, powerful sight shaped by the sea.
La Cambuse Beach
No crowds, no hotels—just golden sand, turquoise water, and total peace. Tucked near the airport, this beach is a favorite local escape. Pack a picnic and let the world fade away.
Le Souffleur
An off-road coastal gem with crazy rock formations and sea spray geysers that shoot into the sky.
