Andréa Lodges

Mauritius


Andréa's 10 lovely cottages, along the sea, have gabled roofs and glass-panelled walls facing the rugged Ireland-esque coast. There's also a swimming pool and a reputable restaurant. Rates include a guided hike through the forest beyond the sugar cane. Guests can arrange 4WD excursions and quad biking; tours of the neighbouring sugar estate are possible between December and June.
