Belle Mare area

Our house is located in the sheltered bay of Palmar , part of the beautiful Belle Mare region. Located on the Eastern coast of the country, the long stretches of white sandy beach with a sheltered turquoise lagoon protected by an offshore coral reef characterize the Belle Mare beach in Mauritius, making ideal for swimming and snorkelling. The house is 50mins from Mauritius’ main airport and 40 minutes from Port Louis, the capital of Mauritius. The house and garden adjoins the beach. All manner of water sports are available near the house either by arrangement with the hotels or at the centres dotted along the coast. These including water skiing, hobiecats, laser sails, canoes, snorkelling , kitesurfing and windsurfing. Big game fishing and scuba diving are also available nearby. Land-based activities include great markets, fantastic restaurants, shopping, spas, beautiful horses brought to your door, tennis, volleyball, table tennis, bicycles; yoga class, aqua-gym, kite flying, beach football the list goes on.

How to get there

Fly with BA, Virgin, Air Mauritius, Air France, Emirates. 50 minutes from the Airport. Private transfers from airport arranged at nominal fee. Private driver can be hired for a fraction of the normal tourist rate. Best flight price tips....
As flightbrokers have different commercial relationships, it's important to try as many as possible, in case you hit lucky and one has a special deal to your destination.

The two to try first:

* Expedia* is the flightbroker big brother; its strengths are allowing multi-destination flight searches and many special offers, One nifty extra trick is if Expedia is cheapest, check out the near identical site Greenbee it runs for John Lewis; the prices there differ slightly and are thus sometimes cheaper.

* Opodo. For standard airlines' flights. Opodo* is owned by nine large European airlines, including BA and Air France, and as such for standard flights with main airlines, tends to undercut everyone else by a smidgeon. Plus it also allows multi-destination searches.

The best of the rest
If possible do check the others: Travelocity is often excluded by screenscrapers and has some strong exclusive special offers, Ebookers*, which is similar to Expedia, Lastminute.com* which offers Netflights* for long haul.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
Cool bedrooms with huge Indonesian double beds with thick mattresses draped in white linen and muslin overlooking the beach, palms and ocean. White tiled floors, loos and good strong showers up and downstairs. Kitchen and living room with breathtaking ocean views and plenty of seating. Shaded veranda with armchairs and huge cushions where you can snooze and read in the heat of the day or enjoy a pedicure or other in-house beauty treatments with a G&T. Two shaded outdoor eting areas. All you would expect to find is there including a great dishwasher in the form of the lovely Ouma, the English speaking daily maid.

The house is also totally baby friendly with all you could need and more right down to soft spoons, high chair, baby bath, stair gates and top of the range travel cots as well as a great English speaking nanny called Sohba! There are plenty of CDs and DVDs, books, games and toys as well as the option of Internet access so take a laptop. Extras include a coffee machine, smoothy-maker, boogie boards, pool toys, and snorkelling equipment.

Further details outdoors:
The house is accessed through a private security electric gate, which is manned 24hours a day and it benefits day and night from a conscientious security team of friendly English speaking Mauritians. One house is the only one with a private and fully fenced garden, which adjoins the beach. It contains a private outdoor parasol covered dining area seating 8 +, a huge and decadent linen covered day bed and 6 sun beds. Sanjay the gardener brings supplies, keeps the garden watered and maintained and takes away your rubbish daily. There is a huge pool with paddling, shallow and deep area. This is shared but as the other houses are mostly private and often only used once or twice a year by their rather privileged owners you will often have this area to yourself. There is a BBQ, outdoor shower and your own parking right outside.. Step onto the beach for all imaginable watersports including kite surfing, diving, snorkelling and sailing.

Further details

We can provide you with a Chauffeur driven car and guide for the length of your stay at a cost of £53.00 a day - for 7 people (back by 6.00pm)He can be booked on a daily or weekly basis and will take you anywhere you would want to go, be it the world famous unique 7 coloured earth at Chamarel, The Black River Gorges in the Mountains,The Northern and Southern Beaches of Mauritius, the dormant Volcanoes and Craters, beautiful Waterfalls, swimming with dolphins, golf, big game fishing,or if you just want to go shopping ( good designer factory shops)! He is a discreet and informative guide and a safe and steady driver so you can roam the island, without fear of getting lost or paying for parking etc.

The bedrooms with equally spectacular views are on the second floor and accessed by a very steep staircase. This room is therefore unsuitable from very young, elderly or infirm guests.
The telephone only receives incoming calls unless you request the call bar to be lifted. The two single beds are in a ground floor bedroom and this room does not have much of a view. This ground floor room is ideal for children as it is next door to the bathroom but would have to be regarded as the short straw as the other three rooms are all nicer.
Smoking with the windows open downstairs would be OK but please never upstairs. Cigarrette damage to our beach house will not be taken lightly whereas other accidents are usually accepted as natural wear and tear.

Conditions

Refundable breakages deposit of £25 per day required prior to arrival, to be refunded within four weeks of your departure (subject to satisfactory property inspection). Should the call bar be lifted or internet required the deposit will be £50 per day and will be returned less the cost of any charges made.

Guestbook for House on the Beach

Hi Louise,We just came back from Mauritius and are absolutely delighted by our stay.
The house is fabulous: perfect location, perfect facilities and equipment...
This is definitely the best option for a family wanting to enjoy both the facilities of the 5 star hotels in the vicinity and the space and independence of a holiday house.
Please forward all our thanks to Ravi and his team (Chitra, Ram, Dave and Ouma) for their kind welcome and their help in organising our week.
We felt in total confidence with all of them and the week would clearly not have been as enjoyable without their help.Be assured we will recommend your house to our friends Kind regards,Christophe HERVET
Hi Louise

Thank you for your kind mail and sorry for the late reply. I have had tons of work since we returned from Mauritius. But what a fantastic place! We had the vacation of our lives. Never have I experienced a more lovely paradise than this. It's definitely not the last time we have visited Mauritius. We also loved the house and the location. So all in all we couldn't have hoped for more. A note for your future visitors: If any of them asks you for advice regarding scuba diving I can tell that Ravi set us up with a instructor called Dev (the owner of Dive Time). He was fantastic and showed us the time of our (underwater)lives. I would recommend that you give his information to anybody seeking these kinds of thrills.Even though we were thrilled by it all I must tell you that it wouldn't have been the same vacation without Ravi. He's been outstanding showing us the best time, fixing any troubles we might encounter and providing a superb service. Please give him our best regards when you speak to him and tell him that we are very grateful for all the special treatment we got during our stay. We definitely miss his wife's excellent cooking :)
All in all I feel that the best merits I can give your house and your staff is that I would not hesitate a second to recommend it all to my friends and associates and I sincerely hope that we get the chance to visit it all again.




We had a fantastic time at No 26. I do not have words to describe our experience. We have been to Mauritius every Dec for the past 6 years and we have never experienced the REAL Mauritius as we were always restricted to some or other “la-di-da” establishment. This was truly a unique experience. Hein Cotzier

Great spot and magnificent view Alice Krogh jenson

Just to say we are having such a wonderful time here - there is ( you won't be surprised!) a universal clamour from everyone to come back again!!. Heather Manners

Dear Louise
We are having a fantastic time in Mauritius - and think your house is absolutely beautiful! What a fantastic location - and very tastefully decorated as well.
We'd very much like to come back again and wanted to check if it was available for Xmas and New Year - both in 2008 and 2009? I know that this might seem like we are being ultra-organised, but we're a big family and always have trouble finding suitable accommodation. We're also worried that someone else might book it before us!
Thanks again for helping us arrange our holiday - we really have had a great time.
Happy New Year and best wishes.
Peter Stonham

Hi Louise - we are now home and had a fabulous time. The setting of the house is great and on the whole we had the place to ourselves -Tim Paul
