Day 1: Le Morne

Mauritius, known for its exceptional natural beauty, is part of the Mascarene Islands, a volcanic archipelago that may belong to a submerged chain that also includes the Seychelles and Reunion.
The nation of Mauritius includes the main island, Rodrigues, and several coral atolls.
We propose a stay at Le Morne, located on a hammer-shaped peninsula in the southwest of Mauritius, with a very characteristic and picturesque 4 km beach thanks to the imposing Morne Brabant mountain (556 m) that overlooks the coast. The name Morne, meaning "he who is in mourning," originates from the death of runaway slaves who, pursued by soldiers, threw themselves from the mountain. Here, you will have the chance to relax and at the same time experience the island's beauty on horseback. Haras du Morne, located next to your hotel, was founded by its owner with the aim of rescuing racehorses from the local racetrack and giving them a second life.
