Poste Lafayette holidays are so peaceful, it's like the seaside settlement's been soundproofed.
Cleared for calm
Poste Lafayette is a low-key locale that hugs Mauritius’ coast. There’s no real town centre, as the village is so reluctant to leave the shoreline behind, so you’ll find a slim belt of hotels and local houses stacked along the seafront. The real focus is on the semi-secret beaches, which are squirrelled away from sight behind bushy tropical greenery. A big-name national park gets in on the act, too.
Sheltered sands
Because Poste Lafayette steers clear of the spotlight, the sands don’t get much tourist attention. That’s a big plus if you set up shop here – you’ll find a couple of beaches that look permanently primed for a photo shoot. There’s substance to go with the good looks, too – snorkellers give the coral reef a thumbs up and, if you head to next-door-neighbour Belle Mare, there are watersports and boat trips to get stuck in to.
