Location
Roches Noires, on the East coast of Mauritius, is less than 30min away from Grand Baie, known for its luxury shops, restaurants, night life, around 20min from the famous golf courses of the East coast and only 30min from the city of Port Louis.
The villa is on a level with the islet, surrounded by sand and with direct access to the sea.
There is easy access on all sides to the sea. At the front of the house, a small stone stairway takes you down to its own natural bathing pool nested between L'Ilot and two other close by islets.
Safe and peaceful bathing is assured there. To the East is a little jetty leading to deeper waters for swimming and diving.
The light is magical on this turquoise lagoon and low tides are spectacular - a rare phenomenon in Mauritius - exposing vast sand banks. L'Ilot, although an integral part of Mauritius, offers a retreat if desired. With a 360° panorama the scenery is transformed all the time.
Depending on the wind, the light, the ocean swell, L'Ilot shimmers and changes constantly, upwind or downwind, hot or cooled by sea breezes.
We had some problems with the air conditioning during our stay, the owner had it changed immediately. You can feel the care and love she has put into villa Ilot. It feels like a second home. The maid Latha and the cook Malini are just wonderful. Kind and always with a smile. Malinis cooking is delicious and she will do anything you ask her to. She helped us with breakfast, made omelettes and pancakes. Made a wide variety of delicious lunches, we were there for 15 nights and had to ask her to repeat some dishes otherwise she would do every day different, fresh fried noodles, chicken, prawn and fish curries, daal and we were even lucky enough to try her biryani.
Thank you for our relaxing holiday.
