Leisure activities in Mauritius

Our villa is an unique home situated on the exclusive private beach of Le Barachois. It is nestled in the magnificent setting of Tamarin Bay with the mountains of the Black River range, Rempart mountain, La Tourelle mountain, and Le Morne mountain in the background.
Located on the west, the driest part of the island, Tamarin Bay is sunny throughout most of the year.

Things to Do on the West Coast of Mauritius
Tamarin Bay is famous for surfing, dolphin watching and incredible swimming. A river flows in Tamarin Bay separating the private beach of Le Barachois from the public beach in Tamarin village. During the winter season the river almost dries up making it possible to walk to the coastal village of Tamarin along the beach in 5-10 minutes. There are a lot of things to do. Here are some suggestions for activities:
