La Mariposa is everything you didn’t really think you could find in Mauritius. A small, family-owned and operated hotel, with charm and personality.
There are 35 different-sized rooms – some even with their own kitchenette. All rooms have an outdoor area in the form of either a balcony or terrace, but the size varies depending on the room type.
In the centre of the hotel, the pool and restaurant are nicely surrounded by tropical vegetation. The pool is not huge, but that doesn’t matter much, because at the end of the complex is the finest white beach that leads out into the turquoise sea.
The natural focal point of the small hotel is the large and beautiful tree, which during the day provides shade from the sun and in the evening atmosphere and romance when the tables are set up under the candles that hang from its branches.
Sun loungers are carefully placed around the property and on the beach.
The stay is generally with half board, but if you wish, we can change it to only include breakfast. There are several restaurants within walking distance, and if you change your mind at the last minute, you can always book a table at the hotel restaurant.
The hotel is a perfect starting point for those wanting to experience something of what southern Mauritius has to offer, such as hiking in the Black River Gorge or visiting the beautiful Chamarel waterfall.
