Beaches and Coastal Character

The coastline around Riviere du Rempart is defined by its sheltered lagoons and clear, shallow waters. Anse la Raie is particularly well-regarded for its peaceful vibe, making it an ideal spot to spend your days lounging on the sand or enjoying the view of the Indian Ocean. Unlike the more crowded tourist hubs, the beaches here feel spacious and serene, allowing you to really unwind without needing to fight for a spot to lay your towel.

Things to Do and Island Life

While the primary draw of this region is the ability to relax, there is plenty to keep you occupied if you are keen to explore. The coastal waters are excellent for those interested in watersports, with the lagoon conditions being particularly favourable for sailing and kite-surfing. On land, the region allows for leisurely strolls along the coast where you can admire the changing colours of the sea as the sun moves across the sky.

When it comes to dining, visitors can expect a delicious fusion of flavours that reflect the island's diverse heritage. Fresh seafood is a staple of any meal here, and most resorts ensure that local produce is a key feature of their menus. It is the perfect opportunity to try authentic dishes in a relaxed, alfresco setting.

Getting There and When to Go

Most UK travellers will arrive into the main airport on the island before taking a transfer to the Riviere du Rempart region. The drive itself is a great way to see the changing landscape of Mauritius. For the best weather, look to book your holiday between May and December, when the temperatures are warm and the humidity is generally lower, making it ideal for both sunbathing and light exploring.

Who This Destination Suits

Riviere du Rempart is an excellent choice for couples or groups of friends who are seeking a sophisticated and environmentally-conscious holiday experience. Because of the focus on quieter, more natural surroundings, it is less suited to those looking for high-octane nightlife and late-night clubs, but perfectly matches the needs of travellers who want to experience the natural beauty of Mauritius in peace.
