Location: Chamarel, nestled in the Black River Gorges National Park, southwest Mauritius
Category: 4-Star Eco-Boutique Lodge
Beach Access: Complimentary shuttle to Le Morne Beach (Mon–Sat)
Best For: Nature lovers, couples, solo travelers, and those seeking peace, privacy, and sustainability
If you’re the kind of traveler who values calm over crowds, birdsong over traffic, and sustainability over spectacle, then Lakaz Chamarel Exclusive Lodge is your perfect hideaway. Set 350 meters above sea level in Mauritius’s lush green heartland, this eco-lodge offers a soul-soothing escape just a short drive from the coast — but a world away from its buzz.
Surrounded by rainforest, mountain peaks, and rich biodiversity, Lakaz feels more like a retreat than a resort. There are just 20 rooms and suites, thoughtfully spaced out within tropical gardens, most with private plunge pools and open-air bathrooms. The architecture blends natural materials with local craftsmanship and international flair — African, Asian, and Mauritian influences all under one thatched roof.
It’s a place where you can start the day with yoga under the trees, hike to a waterfall before lunch, nap by your private pool in the afternoon, and finish with a starlit dinner and a deep sleep in absolute silence.
The Rooms
Lakaz has kept things intimate and exclusive, with only 7 rooms and 13 suites, each uniquely designed to reflect a mix of elegance, nature, and rustic charm.
All accommodations include:
Private terrace, outdoor shower, mosquito net, Wi-Fi, coffee/tea station, sound system, ceiling fan, bathrobes, hair dryer, and pool towels.
The food at Lakaz is as heartwarming as the setting — locally sourced, seasonal, and beautifully prepared. Much of the produce is grown right on-site by the team
Breakfast: American-style buffet with tropical fruits, pastries, hot dishes, and fresh juice. Early risers? Just let the chef know — they'll prepare something just for you.
Lunch: À la carte menu with light, healthy options or a short walk to the village for authentic local eats.
Dinner: Rotating three-course menus with Mauritian, Creole, and international cuisine. Some nights include BBQ or buffet-style dining under the stars.
Bar: Two cozy bars (including an open-air View Bar) serving fine wines, cocktails, and fresh juices, all best enjoyed with a view of the hills or lagoon.
This isn’t your typical spa: it’s more of a sanctuary:
Wellness Hut: Nestled in nature, enjoy massages and therapies accompanied by birdsong.
Yoga Pavilion: Daily complimentary yoga sessions in a garden pavilion. Private sessions on request.
Sauna: Available anytime: just ask the staff and step into relaxation.
Lakaz is more than just a place to sleep: it’s a launchpad for slow, soul-nourishing adventures.
Swimming Pool: Main shared pool plus private pools in suites. Towels provided in-room.
Complimentary Bicycles: Explore the nearby village, valleys, and coastline at your own pace.
Nature Trails: Hike to Piton Canot, waterfalls, or through the Gorges — guided or on your own.
Library: Curl up with a book in a hammock or the lounge.
In-Room Entertainment: Ask for a movie to be set up for a cozy night in.
Boutique Shop: Local crafts, clothing, and essentials — in case you forgot that romantic dinner shirt.
