Highlights
Wake up to one of the most peaceful sunrises on the island at Chillpill Guest House, a charming 3-star retreat located in the tranquil seaside village of Mahebourg on the southeast coast of Mauritius. With breathtaking lagoon views, tropical gardens, and a relaxed vibe, this guest house is perfect for travellers seeking authentic island charm without the frills.
Tucked just moments from the town centre and close to Pointe D’Esny’s dreamy three-kilometre beach, Chillpill is an ideal base to explore the southeast coast, snorkel in Blue Bay Marine Park, or simply take it easy by the pool with a cocktail in hand.
Overview
Chillpill Guest House is set within 50,000 square metres of lush gardens and offers sweeping views over the turquoise lagoon and the offshore islets. While there’s no direct beach, the water’s edge and panoramic views make up for it—and with taxis and buses stopping right outside, it’s only a short trip to swim-friendly shores.
Expect a relaxed, homely feel, a warm welcome from the staff, and a beautiful infinity pool and jacuzzi to lounge by while watching boats sail across the horizon.
Rooms
The guesthouse offers a variety of accommodation options tailored for couples, families, and groups:
Standard Double Rooms with Sea View: Most rooms face the lagoon and include air conditioning, a TV, mini-fridge, kettle, and a private bathroom. Beach towels and bottled water are provided on arrival.
Family Rooms: Two rooms are ideal for groups of four, each with separate sleeping areas.
Cottage & Bungalow: For those wanting more space and privacy, the cottage sleeps 3 and the bungalow up to 5 guests, with self-catering options.
Swing Room: A unique room for 2 guests, great for couples looking for something a little different.
All accommodations are equipped with air-conditioning and Wi-Fi, and most offer a sea view from the comfort of your room or terrace.
Dining & Bar
Chillpill offers bed & breakfast packages, with the option to dine on-site for lunch and dinner at their oceanfront restaurant. The kitchen serves traditional Mauritian meals with a homestyle twist, using fresh local ingredients.
There’s also a relaxed bar/lounge area for cocktails, cold beers, and fresh juices—all best enjoyed with your toes in the water and the sun on your skin.
Spa & Relaxation
While there is no spa per se, the peaceful setting, infinity pool, and Jacuzzi make it easy to unwind. The natural surroundings and lagoon breeze do a pretty good job of calming the soul.
