The hype
Reviewers adore the staff (especially Roy and Marie) and the peaceful atmosphere, but often wish the maintenance matched the price tag.
La Maison D'ete By Newmark
$340-450/ noapte
Rezervă dacă You want a secluded, wind-swept 'beach house' vibe on the wild East Coast, far away from the crowded resorts.
De ce o iubesc oamenii
- Intimate scale (only 16 rooms) feels like a private villa
- The 'La Vigie' room on stilts offers a rare overwater-style experience
- Excellent Mauritian cuisine that attracts locals for Sunday lunch
Privire rapidă: A stunningly photogenic boutique hideaway that struggles with the harsh coastal elements—expect wind, salt spray, and the occasional ant invasion.
Evaluat de @staceholland: I spent a few days here to recharge and it was perfect. The boutique size makes it feel like a private villa. Waking up to that ocean view and having the pool to myself was the highlight of my trip.

Reality check
The 'private beach' is more of a rocky shoreline; you will likely swim in the pools, not the ocean.
- You prefer the sound of crashing waves over a DJ set
- You want to explore the 'wild' side of Mauritius (Bras d'Eau National Park)
- You are renting a car and don't mind driving 35+ mins for nightlife
Curățenie și Întreținere
7
- Housekeeping: Generally good daily service, but recent reports of missed ant trails and crumbs.
- Bathroom hygiene: Mostly clean, but watch for warping floors due to humidity and salt air.
- Maintenance: Struggling. Reports of peeling paint, warping wood, and pool filtration issues in late 2025.
- Linens & towels: Fresh and crisp, though beach towels can show wear from the volcanic rocks.
- Odors & scents: Fresh sea air dominates, but some rooms can smell musty if closed up too long.

Întrebări frecvente și sfaturi ascunse
Tot ceea ce vrei de fapt să știi înainte de a rezerva.
Is the beach swimmable?
Barely. It's rocky, shallow, and has strong currents. Great for dipping your toes or kayaking, but not for swimming laps.
Is it windy?
Yes, especially from June to August (Mauritian winter). It keeps things cool but can be intense.
Is the food good?
Yes, the restaurant is a highlight, serving fresh seafood and Mauritian curries that even locals drive over for.
Are there kids at the hotel?
It's family-friendly but leans towards couples. There's no kids' club, so it's not overrun with children.
How far is the airport?
About 60km, which takes roughly 1 hour and 15 minutes by car.
Is there a gym?
No dedicated gym, but they offer bicycles and kayaks for active guests.
Sfaturi de Insider
- ✨
Request a 'floating breakfast' in the pool for a photo op (extra charge).
- ✨
Walk 5 minutes north to the public beach park for a slightly sandier entry point.
- ✨
The 'Achard Legumes' (pickled vegetables) at the restaurant are a house specialty—ask for a side.
5 lucruri pe care trebuie să le știi înainte să pleci
💡The 'green pool' issue: recent reviews mention the pool turning cloudy/green due to maintenance struggles.
