Holidays to Le Morne fall into the low-key category – expect white-sand beaches and a coral-edged lagoon.
Le Morne
Le Morne is a teeny village that sits on Mauritius’ south-west coast. It’s skirted by a turquoise lagoon and soda-white sands, and is looked over by Brabant peak – a dramatic mountain that used to hide the island’s runaway slaves.
Watersports and golf
Watersports are big business here – the lagoon's a magnet for wind and kitesurfers, and the offshore reef is spot-on for snorkelling. Back on dry land, you’ve got an 18-hole golf course and the nearby Black River Gorges National Park to keep you busy.
