Belle Mare beach is the finest in Mauritius — a 9-kilometre stretch of powder-white sand and turquoise water, wide enough that it never feels crowded even in peak season. The sand is exceptionally fine and white, the water is calm and clear, and the beach is backed by casuarina trees rather than development. It is one of the most beautiful beaches in the Indian Ocean.
The One & Only Le Saint Géran is one of the most celebrated resorts in the Indian Ocean — a legendary property that has been welcoming guests since 1975 and has been consistently rated among the finest hotels in the world. The resort has extraordinary beaches, exceptional dining, a world-class spa and impeccable service.
The Constance Belle Mare Plage is one of the largest and most comprehensive resorts in Mauritius — a beautiful property with two championship golf courses, multiple restaurants, a world-class spa and direct access to the finest stretch of Belle Mare beach. It is an excellent choice for families and golfers.
The lagoon off Belle Mare has excellent snorkelling and diving — the coral reefs are in good condition and the marine life is abundant. The dive centres at the major resorts offer PADI courses and guided dives. The snorkelling directly from the beach is excellent, with turtles, rays and colourful reef fish regularly encountered.
Île aux Cerfs, a beautiful island in the lagoon off the east coast, is accessible by boat from Belle Mare in 15 minutes. The island has extraordinary beaches, excellent snorkelling, a golf course and a range of water sports. It is the most popular day trip from Belle Mare and one of the finest beach experiences in Mauritius.
The calm, protected lagoon off Belle Mare is ideal for water sports — windsurfing, kitesurfing, kayaking, paddleboarding and glass-bottom boat trips are all available. The consistent trade winds make Belle Mare one of the best windsurfing and kitesurfing destinations in the Indian Ocean.
Belle Mare faces east and has extraordinary sunrise views — the sun rises directly over the lagoon, turning the water gold and pink. The early morning beach walk, before the day heats up, is one of the finest experiences in Mauritius. The beach is at its most beautiful in the early morning light.
The resorts of Belle Mare offer exceptional dining — the One & Only Le Saint Géran has multiple restaurants including the celebrated Tapasake Japanese restaurant, and the Constance Belle Mare Plage has a wide range of dining options. The fresh seafood and Mauritian Creole cuisine are excellent.
