Many of the hotels in Mauritius are quite large, so this one comes as an unusually small and precious surprise. Those seeking their “little paradise” will be happy to find it right there, with exotically colourful décor and the simple typical stile of the island, with stone floors, polished wooden furniture and many original works of art.

The main dining room overlooks the cove and the lagoon. An international and Mauritian cuisine is being served in buffet and a la carte style. La Cocoteraie opens for lunch and dinner under the thatched roofs of pavilions built along the shoreline serving seafood, barbecue and tropical cocktails.
