The villa is located on an islet, 50m from the beach, and is accessed via a wooden pontoon built on rocks. It is north-facing with off-shore prevailing winds. The property is built on sand with direct sea access on all sides. Stone steps lead to a sort of natural pool formed by two neighbouring islets. It is an ideal spot for safe swimming or taking a dip while having an aperitif. A makeshift pontoon, on the east side of the islet, leads to deeper waters for adult swimming and diving.
The islet is home to crabs, periwinkles and local fishermen from whom guests may purchase freshly caught small line fish and crustacean. Premium fish and crayfish (gutted and filleted on the spot) are available from Ali, a well-known local figure who visits the islet regularly.
Views
Magical hues, turquoise lagoon, low tides revealing spectacular sandbanks (rare in Mauritius). An ever-changing environment in view of the villa’s 360º position, the wind, the light and the mood of the sea.
