Awarded the Best Beach in Mauritius 🏝️
Immaculate white sand & Le Morne Brabant mountain, ⛰️ a UNESCO heritage site as backdrop, Le Morne beach is truly one of the most beautiful beaches stretching along the southwest coast of the island 🏝️
Turquoise waters and the untouched coral reef makes it a great place to swim 🏊 while still allowing you to hide from the hot sun ☀️ under the shade of 🌳 the trees. This beach is relaxing with very few people compared to others in the same district. I highly recommend bringing your own food & drinks as there are very few food vendors.

Mauritius is the perfect place to see dolphins and enjoy the beautiful Tiffany blue sea.
🌈 When traveling in Mauritius, the "Speedboat Dolphin Watching + Snorkeling + Le Morne Brabant + Natural Bridge + Blue Bay Glass Boat Snorkeling" is usually a must-see route. This route is also one of the classic must-see routes in Mauritius. However, because I stayed at the West Coast Le Meridien Hotel, it was far from the departure pier and it took a lot of time to get there by car.
🐬【Dolphin Watching】
Depart at 6 am and go to the Tamarin Beach in the southwest of Mauritius to see dolphins. Here I just saw a rainbow across the sea, although this is not uncommon in Mauritius, because you can see rainbows everywhere at any time🌈. At about 8 o'clock, take a speedboat to catch the wind and waves🚤, and go to see the dolphins foraging🐬. Compared with the spectacular scene I saw in Lovina, Bali before, there are not many dolphins here, but you can swim with them🏊.
🤿【Le Morne Brabant Snorkeling】
After watching the dolphins, the captain will take the boat to Le Morne Brabant for everyone to snorkel. The sea water under Le Morne Brabant is clear and shallow, and those who can't swim can play with confidence. However, there is nothing to see on the seabed, only some seaweed.
🌊【Le Morne Brabant】
After lunch, we went to Le Morne Brabant and the Natural Bridge. Le Morne Brabant is a U-shaped road with the sea on both sides of the road. The natural bridge is a huge reef that has naturally formed a bridge after being washed by the sea. It looks narrow but it is actually very wide. Next to the natural bridge, the waves hit the reef on the sea, the salty taste of the sea came oncoming, and the huge waves were very shocking.
🐠【Blue Bay Glass Boat Snorkeling】
The last experience is to go out to sea from the pier of Blue Bay, Mauritius, and take a glass boat to snorkel. You can see the underwater scenery from the bottom of the glass boat. We were lucky to see a big sea turtle🐢. The sea water in Blue Bay is Tiffany blue, and you can see many fish when snorkeling🐟.

Mauritius Le Morne Mountain, the beautiful scenery of mountains and sea awaits you
🌈Mauritius, known as 'Paradise on Earth,' boasts countless beautiful sceneries, and Le Morne Mountain on the southwest coast is the brightest gem among them!
🏔️Le Morne Mountain (Le Morne Brabant) is located in the southwest corner of Mauritius. Here, you will find charming beaches, hidden waterfalls, azure lagoons, and rare tropical species. If you're lucky, you might even see the national flower of Mauritius, the Trochetia Boutoniana! Just snap a photo with your phone, and you'll capture unique and picturesque scenes. Being here feels like stepping into a fairyland. Come and check in to this stunning island scenery!
📜Le Morne Mountain not only has natural beauty but also a rich cultural heritage. In 2008, it was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, symbolizing freedom and equality, and it is also a memorial site for the great slave liberation movement. The 'Slave Cross' on the mountain and the commemorative stone monument in the memorial park at the foot of the mountain bear witness to this touching history. Start a cultural deep tour here and feel the unique charm of the island.
🚶♂️Le Morne Mountain is the best place for hiking on the island. The winding mountain paths offer a rich outdoor experience. The 250-meter mark is relatively easy, with beautiful scenery along the way; above 500 meters, it becomes steeper and requires professional rope equipment, but the 'Slave Cross' at the top and the panoramic view of the island are definitely worth your challenge! Capture your life's highlight moments with your camera!
🤿The underwater scenery of Le Morne Mountain is equally breathtaking! The constant water temperature provides an ideal habitat for various marine life. Even beginner divers can enjoy the colorful underwater wonders and dance with lively fish under the guidance of professional instructors, exploring the secrets of the underwater world.
🎈Of course, you can also try activities like kite surfing and skydiving here, overlooking the endless island scenery! Kayaking on the water is leisurely and free, and the underwater waterfall in the blue is stunning!
🏨The Riu Palace and Riu Turquoise hotels under the Riu Hotels & Resorts group have newly opened at Le Morne Mountain! Riu Palace is an adults-only luxury brand with 310 rooms, some of which offer panoramic sea views. It offers a variety of dining options, three swimming pools, and a private pool for elite club guests. Riu Turquoise is suitable for family stays, with 390 rooms and complete facilities, including three outdoor swimming pools, one of which has a children's pool. Both hotels are 24-hour all-inclusive, with beautiful environments and first-class service, providing you with the ultimate travel experience.
💖Come to Le Morne Mountain to feel the free and romantic tropical style! It's never too late to start!

Le Morne Brabant Mountain, situated at the extreme southwestern tip of Mauritius 🇲🇺, is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Mauritius and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008. When viewed from above, a runoff sand and slit deposits form the illusion of an underwater waterfall.
🥾The hiking trail to reach to the summit is very easy to follow and well worn, though some sectioms are steep where using your hands is advisable.
