A heart-achingly beautiful sweep of soft ivory sand gently lapped by emerald green waters, the unspoiled, palm-scattered environs of Belle Mare perfectly capture the authentic, picture-perfect image Mauritius that even the glossiest guides can't do justice.

Widely regarded as the most beautiful beach in Mauritius - and, therefore, the world - Belle Mare has to be seen to be believed.
Located an hour from Port Louis on the south-east coast of the island, Belle Mare and the surrounding area can lay claim to being among the most beautiful holiday destinations anywhere in the world, with the lush greenery inland every part the equal of its famous beach.
Hiking opportunities abound with the nearby Lion Mountain an obvious draw, while the village of Chamarel with its luxuriant, tropical surroundings and paradisiacal waterfalls can't fail to charm all who decide to venture there.
Credit must be paid to the local authorities who have helped ensure that the dreamy, inherent charm of the area has not been compromised by vulgar over-construction. While the lack of dining facilities on the beach might irk some, there seems to be a belief that it's a sacrifice worth making to preserve what makes this place so very special: complete and utter disconnection and surrender to natural beauty.
At Villanovo, our villa specialists have placed special attention on selecting the finest villas in and around Belle Mare, where understated luxury and high-end facilities come together to prove the ideal setting for your perfect island getaway.
Explore our selection at your leisure and discover delightful properties where stylish decor, fully-equipped kitchens, cosy beds, air conditioning, free wi-fi, leafy gardens shaded by palms, elegant outdoor swimming pools and dining areas with barbecue facilities, perfect for sipping a cocktail (or coconut water, if you're behaving yourself), and gorgeous sea views abound, and an extraordinary property becomes very much the norm.
Contact our villa specialists, detailing what you're looking for and we can assist you in finding something to match your tastes and requirements.
While many may prefer lazing on the beach under the shade of gently swaying palms leaves (and they'd be well within their rights!), those in search of some more dynamic activities will be well-provided for in Mauritius.
Bare Mare beach is as good a place to start as any, with excellent swimming augmented by better still scuba diving opportunities. The reef about 500m from sure is especially beautiful, as is the area closest to Deer Island. Deep sea fishing for tuna or marlin is also extremely popular. For lovers of water sports, windsurfing, parasailing, and kayaking are all available, as are catamaran and speed boat trips, horse-riding and a trip to the excellent family-friendly Splash and Fun waterpark.
Those looking to enjoy the splendour of the inland region may choose to make the most of the championship golf course or pay a visit to Arts 28 Art Gallery, the perfect place to find undiscovered gems and sample a little of the local island culture.
At Villanovo, we are happiest when our guests are happiest. That's why we offer the experience and expertise of our concierge service to assist you in arranging your break in Mauritius. Whether you're looking for a private chef to showcase the finest of the island's specialities, a babysitter, to arrange car, boat or bike hire, or something extra special, we are on-hand to assist you and to take the stress out of planning your dream holiday in Mauritius.
