Experience the South Authentic -Chateau de Bel Ombre, Souillac. Gris Gris, R. Edward hart, Chez Rosie, Batelage, Andreas Lodge

 

Start at the Château de Bel Ombre, an elegant colonial estate steeped in history and nestled in verdant surroundings. Wander through its refined interiors and gardens, where the spirit of a graceful past still lingers.

Then, head to St Aubin Estate, where you’ll explore a working vanilla plantation, a rum distillery, and a charming colonial house. Sip on locally crafted rum, walk through the fragrant vanilla house, and learn about Mauritius’ agricultural heritage — all in one beautiful estate.

Continue to the coastal village of Souillac, and feel the wild energy of the waves at Gris Gris, where the cliffs meet the roaring sea — one of the rare places on the island where the ocean shows its true power.

Just nearby, stop at the Robert Edward Hart Memorial, a poetic tribute to one of Mauritius’ most beloved literary voices.

Savor an authentic lunch at Chez Rosie, a hidden local favorite serving fresh, home-cooked Mauritian Creole dishes straight from the heart.

Then stroll through Le Batelage, a heritage port area that whispers stories of early settlers and sugar trade, before ending the day in serene beauty at Andrea Lodges — perched on rugged cliffs with sweeping views of the southern coastline. It’s the perfect spot to reflect, recharge, and soak in the peaceful side of paradise.

 

An immersive journey into the real Mauritius — raw, romantic, and rooted in authenticity.
