Overview
Think camping, and your mind might conjure up a rustic night in a mosquito-infested tent—but Otentic Eco Tent Experience redefines everything you thought you knew. Set on the lush banks of the Grande Riviere South East, this is glamping with soul. Designed for explorers who crave adventure by day and luxury by night, Otentic combines eco-conscious living with tropical charm.
This off-the-beaten-path sanctuary is within canoeing distance of a waterfall and a crystal-clear lake, making it an ideal home base for active travelers and nature lovers. Here, you’ll fall asleep to the sound of chirping crickets and wake up to birdsong: blissfully far from the crowds.
Accommodation
Each of Otentic’s luxury safari tents is raised on wooden decks and shaded by palm trees, offering garden or river views and the sweet sound of flowing water. Inside, you’ll find a double bed plus up to three singles, ideal for couples, families, or friends. Every tent includes a private bathroom with shower, so there’s no need to wander off in the dark like traditional campers. Expect furnished balconies for lazy afternoons and sunset spotting. Simple, serene, and naturally luxurious.
Dining
Otentic’s restaurant is a celebration of Mauritian flavour, powered by wood fires and imagination.
- Breakfast: A hearty mix of fresh tropical fruits, cereals, homemade bread, and hot dishes like omelettes.
- Lunch: Creative bites like seafood vindaloo, octopus salad, and smoked aubergine caviar.
- Dinner: Unwind with BBQ chicken or freshly grilled fish, served with crunchy salads and a local essential—homemade infused rum.
- Vegetarian? No problem. A 100% vegetarian menu is also available, proving that Otentic caters to every appetite.
