Overview



If you’re looking to swap white-sand beaches for lush green forests, replace your screen time with birdsong and waterfall breezes, and immerse yourself in the heart of unspoilt Mauritius, then L’Exil Lodges is your sanctuary. Nestled deep in the Combo Forest of the south, this eco-lodge offers an unplugged retreat surrounded by endemic vegetation, walking trails, and the breathtaking Leon Waterfall. With just 10 rustic-style lodges, L’Exil is built for peace, privacy, and connection: with both nature and yourself.

This is the kind of place where you’ll wake to birdsong, sip coffee under a canopy of trees, and fall asleep to the distant murmur of a waterfall. It’s wild, it’s wonderful, and it’s one of the most soulful stays in Mauritius.
