Mauritius Ile aux Cerfs

Mauritius Ile aux Cerfs

Ile aux Cerfs is located on the eastern coast of Mauritius and is one of the island’s most famous resort destinations. It is a paradise for water sports, boasting some of Mauritius’ most beautiful beaches. Gracefully nestled in the ocean, this small island is a shining pearl in Mauritius’ landscape and a must-visit spot for travelers.

Ile aux Cerfs features pristine white sandy beaches perfect for sunbathing, tranquil lagoons with calm, waveless waters, and some of the clearest seawater in the world—ideal for snorkeling and other water activities, making it a favorite diving destination among European aristocrats. In addition, there is an 18-hole golf course and two restaurants where visitors can slow down and enjoy a leisurely long lunch.

Most uniquely, Ile aux Cerfs is made up of two small islands, with a sandy stretch between them forming a dreamlike sea river where you can play to your heart's content. The island is also accessible from Baie Tranquille and can be reached by a large catamaran, where you can enjoy a barbecue on board while taking in the sea views. The scenery of Ile aux Cerfs is stunning, and it is especially famous for its shallow waters where even non-swimmers can wade in for hundreds of meters without worrying about getting submerged.
