On the east coast of Mauritius, Belle Mare is known for its long sandy beach, turquoise lagoon and quieter coastal setting. Villanovo offers private villas for stays in Mauritius with family or friends, offering private pools, outdoor spaces and, depending on the property, direct beach access or sea views. A local and dedicated concierge team supports each stay with personalised services.

Villanovo’s villas in Belle Mare are designed for comfortable stays with family or friends, with spacious living areas, ensuite bathrooms and fully equipped kitchens. Larger properties also offer several suites and generous communal spaces, giving families and groups room to spend time together while preserving privacy.
Selected villas feature premium wellness facilities, such as a private spa, hammam, jacuzzi or dedicated treatment room. Some properties feature private swimming pools, set within landscaped gardens, extending alongside a terrace or, in selected villas, overlooking the lagoon. Sun loungers, shaded seating and outdoor dining areas create comfortable spaces around the pool throughout the day.
This sense of comfort is complemented in some properties by house staff or the services of a private chef or cook, allowing guests to enjoy attentive daily support, freshly prepared meals and a more personalised level of service while retaining the privacy and independence of their villa.
Villanovo’s villas in Belle Mare are set along Mauritius’ eastern coastline, with locations ranging from beachfront properties offering direct access to the beach to more secluded villas surrounded by larger gardens. Depending on the setting, guests can also enjoy convenient access to the lagoon, nearby restaurants, golf courses and local services, while retaining the privacy of a villa stay.
For travellers wishing to discover other parts of Mauritius’ east coast, Villanovo also offers our villas in Trou d’Eau Douce or properties in Poste Lafayette, each providing a different base from which to explore this side of the island.
Villanovo’s dedicated local concierge service can coordinate the practical details of the stay as well as experiences around Belle Mare and the east coast. Depending on your requirements, the concierge team can arrange airport transfers, private drivers, restaurant reservations, childcare, wellness treatments and the services of a private chef at the villa.
Boat trips, golf outings, family activities and water sports can also be organised according to the interests of the group. This personalised support makes it easier to organise the services and experiences that matter during the stay while preserving the freedom and privacy of a villa holiday.
Belle Mare’s lagoon and long sandy beach provide an ideal setting for swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking and scuba diving, with several reefs and dive sites accessible along the east coast. From nearby Trou d’Eau Douce, boat and catamaran trips cross the lagoon towards Île aux Cerfs. Some excursions also continue towards the Grande Rivière Sud-Est waterfall, reached by boat through a greener, more sheltered section of the coast.
The region is also particularly rewarding away from the water. Golfers have access to renowned courses around Belle Mare and Anahita, while the market at Centre de Flacq offers a more local perspective, with fresh produce, spices and Mauritian specialities. For walking and nature, Bras d’Eau National Park combines forest trails, endemic birdlife and remnants of the island’s agricultural past, surrounded by lush greenery. Together, these landscapes reveal another side of the east coast’s natural beauty beyond its beaches.
For guests wishing to explore further, Le Morne makes a rewarding full-day excursion to the south-west of the island. Its dramatic mountain, wide lagoon and surrounding beaches create a striking contrast with the east coast, while hiking, kitesurfing and time by the water make it one of Mauritius’ most distinctive places to discover.
