It’s pretty hard to be able to run a small, boutique-like hotel with the full service of a five star hotel – yet this is what a few individuals have accomplished in Mauritius. The Lakaz Chamarel Exclusive Lodge is exactly that, a sort of guesthouse that works as a state of the art luxury hotel.
Located within a magnificent tropical garden, 55 minutes away from the airport, 15 minutes away from the splendid Baie du Cap and the Morne beaches, an hour from the capital of Mauritius – Port Louis – and enclosed by the Chamarel Mountains, this small hotel is as green as it is gorgeous and inviting in a way that few other similar hotels can equal. It is a tranquil spot, where local, traditional decors assort with tasty cuisine and exclusivity.
In terms of accommodation, the resort consists of a central, main building and 20 different luxurious rooms and suites that reflect the cultures far away, with decorations picked from India, the tropics, Africa and China. Fine pieces and materials like beams, slate, wood and terra cotta are decked in beige, ton ochre and rust tones that enhance the traditionalism of this lodge. An entire array of open-sky bathrooms and terraces make it possible to bathe in the majestic natural surroundings.
The rooms have been adorned with both classic and modern decorations and amenities like mosquito nets and ceiling fans, while the array of services include swimming pool towels, Wi-Fi access, slippers, pillow menu, bathrobes and Citronella essential oils.
Lying at approximately 400 meters above the sea and located on the southwestern side of the island, the Black River Gorges Natural Park is a nearby attraction, with deep forests and an extremely high number of species of plants and animals. It simply surrounds the resort – imagine what views you could enjoy.
As a final touch, upon arrival, guests will also receive a few gifts, like body oil, aromatherapy beeswax candle, honey beeswax soap and sugar cane body polish. Nice touch!
