We stayed at villa 5, and we've had an amazing time. The villa is very big, and right in front of the ocean. It is well equipped and had everything we needed. There is a very nice cafe right by the house and a good selection of restaurants around. The check-in was very smooth and Suzanne is so kind and helpful, she made sure we were comfortable and had what we needed. I would not hesitate to book this place again.

Fabulous Beach Home - Luxury Beachfront Living

4.96 out of 5 average rating, 71 reviews1 month ago

Christopher and team was everything you can ask for and beyond. We arrived late but then the guard was informed that we were coming and had the key. The guard also took his time to show us the apartment and surroundings. The next day both Marianne and Christopher came by to check that everything was ok and to provide recommendations on things to do etc. All in all, everything matched our expectations and some things even above expectations such as there was a cooked meal and breakfast items provided in the fridge on our arrival and that fresh bread was deliver to our door every morning. Can highly recommend staying with Christopher as host.

White House, beach cottage

4.97 out of 5 average rating, 67 reviews2 weeks ago

We lived our stay at the White House cottage. It exceeded our expectations and we would love to return. We are a family of four and it was perfect. The staff was so warm and helpful. Definitely hire the local chef recommendation. We had delicious food in the convenience of our own veranda looking at the ocean. The location right on the beach with the private, expansive grounds was perfect. The house has incredible views and is extremely comfortable. I highly recommend. If you have a big group, try to rent the White House next door and have an amazing holiday with family or friends.

Villa Dalbler

4.82 out of 5 average rating, 11 reviews11 months ago

The villa was easy to find as it is located directly opposite the Blue Bamboo restaurant (very good restaurant). We were warmly welcomed by Diane. The villa is spacious, offers everything you need and wow what a beach and sea view! The very friendly maids came by daily to clean the villa. The friendly gardener also took care of the cleanliness of the garden and the beach. The location is great, Blue Bay public beach only 700 meters away. Surroundings very good for jogging. 2 supermarkets each only 5 minutes by car where you can really buy everything you need. As mentioned, a good restaurant right across the street and a 2nd only 150 meters away where you can have a great breakfast and buy freshly baked sourdough bread (Naked Foods). All in all, we had a great stay and can highly recommend this villa.

Sea Breeze Getaway

5 out of 5 average rating, 33 reviews1 week ago

It was a wonderful place to stay and worked really well for our family with young kids. Having access to a good beach and a very nice swimming pool was fantastic. We went during holiday season and the beach would get a bit busy at high tide in the afternoon, but then we had access to the pool. We also really appreciate the no alcohol or smoking policy as it meant there were no late night parties or any unpleasant surprises. Char-Choma restaurant was a nice walk down the beach, had a great playground, and some of the best restaurant food we have had in Kenya so far. Ayan was very responsive to any questions we had and also provided some great recommendations of things to do and places to eat.

Latitude Sea Front Luxury Apartment

5 out of 5 average rating, 5 reviews6 months ago

Had a wonderful stay at Coralie & Astrides place in Latitude luxury apartments . The service they provided from check in to late checkout, due to our late flight was great.They even left us a bottle of prosecco and a card for our 25th wedding anniversary, which was a lovely surprise. The apartment was as decribed. Better than the photos. It had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. The Large terrace was a fantastic space for chilling, with amazing views of the ocean and Le Mourne. The grounds and swimming pool were lovely and never busy. You could always find an empty sun lounger. Shops and restaurants were within easy walking distance. Ruisseau Creole was a lovely shopping mall with nice cafes and restaurants Bistro La Poste and Happy Rajah are worth a visit for food. Thankyou for a lovely stay we would definitely book again.

Thank you so much for the heartwarming atmosphere during our stay! The villa had everything we needed to feel at home and at the same time not to think about the daily chores that the hosts took care of. Denis and Ingrid are very friendly and always ready to help with advice on where to go shopping, where to eat, where to swim. They easily organize everything you need even my friend's birthday bouquet. Thank you very much for this hassle. Underwater life near the villa is varied for snorkeling. A convenient place to explore the south and east of the island.

4.94 out of 5 average rating, 31 reviews3 weeks ago

We loved this stay. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It’s right on a secluded beach in a beautiful part of Mauritius, off the tourist trail but not too far if you want to get amongst it. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Everything has been thought about and hosts available to welcome us and say goodbye. Great with kids.
