La Maison d’Ete is an independent boutique hotel set on an attractive stretch of white in a peaceful residential area on the island’s north-east coast. With just 16 rooms this chic hotel offers a more personal and relaxed experience than the larger resorts on the island. The décor in the thatched rooms is bright and breezy, with locally sourced furniture and artwork, and private outdoor seating areas provide space to enjoy views over the Indian Ocean. The main restaurant serves authentic Mauritian specialities and a good selection of international dishes, and there is a beachfront café serving light lunches, snacks, and drinks. Other facilities include a choice of two bars, two swimming pools, a small Spa, and bicycles for exploring the local area.
