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 monolith that used to hide the island’s runaway slaves.
Watersports and golf
Watersports are big business here – the lagoon is a magnet for wind and kite-surfers, 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.
What’s nearby
Le Morne’s hotels line up along the beach, on a peninsula. About 15 minutes’ walk away you’ll find the village. With one restaurant and a sprinkling of local shops, the pace here is definitely set to slow. If you fancy cranking the tempo up a bit, head to lively Flic en Flac, 30 minutes’ drive north.

WHEN TO GO
Mauritius sees sunshine all year round. Temperatures linger in the high 20s and early 30s between December and April, but the tropical climate in these parts means the odd rain shower will cool you down from time to time. And if you’re diving, this is the best time to visit. It cools down a bit between May and November, but temperatures are still beach-friendly – think mid-20s. It’s drier, too.
