To the south, are dramatic views of the ocean, pounding against the
reefs, providing an ever-changing spectacle. On its north coast, white
sandy beaches border the Blue Bay Maritime Reserve, one of the best
places for snorkelling in Mauritius, with superb corals and a wonderful
array of brightly coloured tropical fish.
Native vegetation have
been planted on the island in recent years and guests can walk around
the island or just laze under palm trees and filaos, watching the
sparkling ocean by day or the twinkling lights of Blue Bay at night.
But this is not just an outstandingly beautiful, private island. The
tone is set by a small villa, built more than a century ago by the then
British Governor, Sir Hesketh Bell, who used it for entertaining. He
created a magical place.
Nowadays, the island, on the southeast coast of Mauritius is a popular
destination for day excursions and for incentive activities. The whole
island can also be reserved for overnight stays.
