Points of Interest & Landmarks
Chamarel Seven Colored Earth Geopark is a unique park featuring sand dunes with seven different colors, created by centuries of lava, decay, and weathering. Visitors can explore the otherworldly landscape and capture stunning photos for their social media feeds. The park also offers the opportunity to visit Chamarel Falls for a view of the powerful spray of water or try abseiling down the cliffs.
Visited Chamarel Seven Colored Earth and it was a truly unique and fascinating sight. The natural sand dunes with seven distinct shades — from red and brown to purple and blue — are a rare geological wonder you won’t see anywhere else. The colors are even more striking under sunlight, and it’s amazing to learn that they remain unmixed despite rain or wind. The surrounding area is peaceful and scenic, with well-maintained pathways and viewing decks. You can also spot giant tortoises nearby, which adds to the experience. The drive to Chamarel is beautiful, with lush greenery and mountain views along the way. A definite must-visit in Mauritius for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone curious about natural wonders.

The Seven Colored Earths of Mauritius is a wonderful attraction. I really enjoyed it because you can see the different colors of the earth, which is truly stunning. I loved it! It's a large area with many other views to enjoy, so it's not just about the colored earths. I recommend wearing comfortable shoes, like sports clothes, so you can walk around easily. I highly recommend visiting this place.

Unique experience with Waterfall, 7 coloured earth & Turtles. Be prepare to spend MUR650 per person as an entry fees due to private site. Cafe, Souvenir Store is plenty to offer local Rum & other food items as well as crafted artworks by local artists. Definitely worth the visit

The Chamarel Seven Colored Earth Geopark is truly a picturesque and unique natural wonder. The striking layers of vibrant colors are unlike anything I’ve seen before — a perfect spot for photos and to simply take in the beauty of nature. While there isn’t a lot to do beyond enjoying the view and a short walk around the area, it’s absolutely worth visiting for the stunning scenery. A peaceful and memorable stop during our trip to Mauritius!

​A must-see natural wonder! ​The Chamarel Seven Coloured Earth is, without a doubt, one of Mauritius's most recognizable and stunning natural attractions. As such, be prepared for a good number of fellow tourists! While there is parking space, it can fill up quickly, so I recommend arriving early if possible. ​The view of the swirling, multi-hued sands is truly unique. For the best possible photograph to capture the vibrant colours, here's a quick tip: the sit-out restaurant inside the park offers the best vantage point! It's worth stopping there for the view alone, even if you don't dine. ​You can easily explore the geopark by walking along a well-maintained walkway that provides several different viewpoints of the sands. Beyond the main attraction, the park also has several other points of interest, including a small enclosure with turtles, an area to explore the Ebony Forest, and several souvenir shops. Toilets are also available for visitors. ​Overall, this is an essential stop on any Mauritius itinerary. Highly recommended!

This is really a sight to see but don't be shocked if the colour's arnt as apparent as the online pictures(its natural after all!) You get to see Giant Tortoises which it quite fun especially for children and there is a small 'cafe' that does coffees, juices,ice-cream and traditional sugar cane juice! You can do hikes around the park but give yourself atleast the whole day to do that as there are multiple hiking routes.
Gerhard N — Google review
We were there as part of a self-booked "taxi tour." You also have to pay an entrance fee for the national park. We paid 1,300 rupees for two people. The taxi driver was free. NOTE: The "receipt" with the QR code is also the entrance ticket at the turnstile at the 7 Earths spot. There's also a parking lot there that's generally "permanently full." Our driver dropped us off at the entrance. The area is basically a large pile of sand. Unless you're a geologist, it's not really that exciting. On the same grounds, there's also a fenced-off area where giant tortoises are "kept." In my opinion, it's "just" a place you go to say you've been there...

Hiking area
Ebony Forest Reserve Chamarel is a remarkable conservation initiative in Mauritius, aiming to recreate the island's indigenous native forest that existed 250 years ago. Covering 45 hectares, this reserve offers 7km of hiking trails, raised walkways into the mid-canopy, and safari jeep tours. The estate has planted 110,000 indigenous trees and is home to nine endemic bird species including the pink pigeon and echo parakeet.
This place is quiet, peaceful, and well-maintained. Everything is natural and preserved beautifully. The environment is fresh and calming — a perfect escape into nature. The tourist guides were very friendly and knowledgeable, explaining everything with passion. I really enjoyed the walk through the forest and spotting some rare and uncommon birds. The 3D show was a highlight — it gave a fascinating insight into Mauritian culture, nature, and history. The viewpoints also offer stunning views of the island. Highly recommended for nature lovers and anyone looking to experience the real beauty of Mauritius.

Booked a Birdwatching walk. 3 to 4 hours actually did 4 3/4 hour hike Ans saw 5 of the 7 rare birds. Guide Damian was excellent knowledgeable and friendly. Superb views from the viewpoints. You do need a reasonable level of fitness for the walk but there is a jeep ride alternative

🌿 5/5 – Amazing Experience! Had a wonderful time on the self-guided hike at Ebony Forest in Chamarel. The trails are well-marked, peaceful, and surrounded by beautiful native trees and birds. The views from the top are breathtaking — especially over Le Morne and the coast. Staff were friendly and informative, and it’s great to see the effort put into forest restoration. Perfect spot for nature lovers and anyone who enjoys a calm, scenic walk in Mauritius. Highly recommended!

The Ebony Forest Reserve was a great experience during our stay on Mauritius. You get to hike on your own in beautiful forest and get a guide that walks you through a section of the track and explains the efforts to restore both endemic and native species. We also saw free ranging tortoises and quite a few birds. It also has a small museum that explains the history of Mauritius and that of birds like the Dodo and the namesake ebony trees. Well worth a visit (we stayed for over 3 hours)!
Jonas — Google review
I had the chance to visit the Ebony Forest in Chamarel, Mauritius, and it was a wonderful experience. The reserve is beautifully maintained, offering a mix of scenic walking trails, viewpoints, and a chance to learn about the island’s unique biodiversity. The highlight for me was the walk through the restored native forest, where you can see giant tortoises and rare bird species. The viewpoints overlooking Le Morne and the coastline are breathtaking, and the skywalk gives a unique perspective of the forest canopy. The staff are welcoming and knowledgeable, always ready to share interesting facts about conservation and local history. It’s not a very long visit, but it’s definitely worth it if you enjoy nature, quiet surroundings, and eco-friendly activities. Overall, a satisfying experience that combines relaxation, education, and beautiful views. 🌿🐢🌍✨ #EbonyForest #MauritiusTravel #Chamarel #NatureLovers #EcoTourism #MauritiusNature #TravelMauritius #Conservation #HiddenGem #IslandParadise

Ebony Forest Reserve in Chamarel is a beautiful conservation area with well-maintained trails, stunning views, and rich biodiversity. The guided tours are informative, and you can learn a lot about Mauritius’ native flora and fauna. A great place for hiking, birdwatching, and connecting with nature.

Did the Love Tree Tour and it was Fantastic! Jean was a great guide, was really knowledgeable and friendly. We saw Geckos, birds and Tortoises up close! So a tour so animals can be pointed out for you. Highly recommend to experience the forest without a strenuous hike, easy for kids and older people. The open jeep up the mountain was really comfy and fun, and the views at sublime point were amazing! Facilities were new with nice clean toilets, gift shop for souvenirs and snacks, not a place for lunch so go to Chamarel Cafe for that. Great to support the conservation effort for Mauritius

Chamarel Mountain Chalets

Bed & breakfast
Chamarel Mountain Chalets offers a serene and peaceful retreat in the heart of the jungle. The chalets are spacious, well-equipped, and boast comfortable beds for a restful sleep. The staff is known for their exceptional hospitality, going above and beyond to accommodate guests' needs, including preparing early breakfasts for those with early tours. The lush garden surrounding the chalets creates a tropical paradise atmosphere.
A magical retreat! A stunning, peaceful place off the beaten path. Words can't describe how beautiful it is. The chalets are hidden in lush greenery, offering privacy (with some exceptions—more on that later). The staff was incredibly kind—we felt like royalty and got all the help we needed. We stayed in a spacious, beautifully designed two-story chalet near the pool and dining terrace. It had air conditioning, a fully equipped kitchen, a large fridge, and a TV with Netflix and other streaming services. Really good breakfasts too. A few minor downsides: no nearby shops (though restaurants are within walking distance), and our chalet opened directly onto the terrace where people often dined. However, the pool was just steps away, so it had its perks! The last few hundred meters of the road can be tricky—even our taxi struggled on the uneven path. But despite that, this was probably the most beautiful place we’ve ever stayed. Highly recommended!
Krzysztof P — Google review
If you’re craving peace, fresh mountain air, and cozy luxury, this mountain chalet getaway delivers in every way. Nestled high in the hills, the chalet offers stunning panoramic views! The chalet was beautifully designed with rustic wood interiors and a nice fireplace. Everything felt authentic yet modern and had a well-equipped kitchen. The bed was awesome and incredibly comfortable and everything was spotless. It’s clear the owners care about the details! Remote enough to feel like a true escape and this was one of the most relaxing and memorable trips we've taken. Perfect for couples, families, or solo travelers looking to unplug and unwind in nature!

Absolute gem in Chamarel location. Everything was perfect. Staff is super nice and helpful, rooms are absolutely beautiful and pool is amazing. Location os great for those who likes to hike, but Le Morne beach is not far away. I can only recommend this chalets to stay 2-3 days for sure.

Unfortunately, we had the worst experience ever and highly recommend avoiding this place by any means. We were not able to sleep due to the frog noise from 10pm to 5am every night. Sadly, the owner was incredibly unfriendly and even became personally insulting when confronted with the situation. Despite having paid for six nights, we left after two. There are many other beautiful places in the area, if you're looking for an accommodation, just go somewhere else ;-).

The place is beautiful, but you have to walk a lot around the whole area, the guides have little knowledge about this place, but there are many descriptive tables.The animals are not in the best condition, for example the turtles are in bad condition, there was little food for the animals, I recommend setting up a store with food for animals, people will gladly buy them food, it is an experience to feed the animals.

If you're dining at this restaurant, remember to make a reservation online! It's incredibly popular! 👍 You don't want to drive an hour and not have food to eat; that's a shame! I made a reservation a week before my trip to Mauritius, and the restaurant manager even sent me an email to confirm my reservation. If you go to see the Seven-Colored Earth, please keep your ticket stub and you will get a 10% discount. There are not many parking spaces, please arrive early to find a parking space during meal time😘

Incredible views from this restaurant. Well worth visiting especially if you are visiting the local sites around here. I would recommend booking a table as it can get quite busy. The tables directly overlooking the view are first come first served, but there is a little viewing platform that everyone can go to for photos which is nice. The food was really good. I really enjoyed the palm heart salad and the grilled prawns. You could easily sit here for a few hours enjoying the views, unfortunately we couldn’t stay very long!

A beautiful restaurant to appreciate Le Morne’s view. In my opinion, the menu is limited and the service was not the best.

We ate here during our anniversary trip to Mauritius. It's a bit of a trek from the northern end of the island, but worth the drive. I spent the morning golfing at Heritage and we were definitely hungry for some food. We arrived quite a bit earlier than our reservation and had no problems getting seated. The restaurant definitely filled up closer to our actual reservation time. We were seated at a table along the glass. It was one of the best seats available, we could easily see Le Morne and the sights below and all those getting in their photos weren't able to stand in front of us during our meal. We tried the gadjacks and I ordered the butcher's cut and my wife the chicken and prawn curry. Both dishes were cooked well, seasoned, and fresh. Definitely one of the better meals we had in Mauritius. I had a mojito made with local rum and it definitely had some kick. I'm not a big rum drinker, and the local rum has a bit different taste to it versus those I've had in the Caribbean. The views were awesome and the food was worth the cost. We paid $60(USD) for the whole meal minus drinks. If you're traveling to Mauritius don't pass this stop up

Happy they could accommodate us ... but reservation is a prerequisite... The service was good... The toilets were clean and immaculate... They are used to serving foreigners so... the waiter was not understanding my creole... but nevertheless he recommended some venison rack which was delicious.. The Gajak Mauritian is convenient for two . The fresh palm salade with srimps was the show stopper.. both appealing and delectable. The chamrel Sling was fresh and refreshing.. its a very nice place with amazing views of the south... its a must visit restaurant.

Tried Chez Pierre Paul in Chamarel, but the experience was disappointing. The Creole Sausage in Provençale Sauce had a delicious sauce, but the sausages were undercooked. The Fish in Vindaye Sauce was nicely cooked, but there was barely any sauce, which took away from the flavor. The highlights were the Crab Gratin and the cocktail, both of which were tasty. The Caramelized Banana was decent. Overall, some dishes were good, but the food was not consistent, which made the experience disappointing.

The food is great. A bit pricy but very comfortable lunch we had here. Staffs are friendly. It is a good restaurant for tourists. Neat and tidy. We went there at around 12:30 but it is already fulled house at 1:00pm. We had salad, sweet and sour fish comes with rice and grilled fish comes with fries.

We had the most lovely food at this restaurant. We arrived a little later than expected however both Jeniffer & her husband were so kind and accommodating. We sat outside and it was just unique and beautiful, my son really enjoyed the vibe there. I loved how we overlooked water and beautiful greenery. The food was delicious and came out very promptly. The portions were bigger than expected and both the prawns and chicken were perfectly cooked succulent. The prices were very reasonable and they had a very good menu selection. We would love to return when we go back to Mauritius one day.

La Citronelle is a great spot for lunch, offering delicious grilled "catch of the day" that's well-prepared and flavorful. However, some find the pricing to be on the higher side compared to local salaries. The restaurant has a nice ambiance and friendly staff, making it a pleasant place to enjoy a meal. It's open even in the late afternoon, providing flexibility for visitors looking for a satisfying dining experience.
Had a delicious meal here. The best crab I have ever tested. We found this place just by chance and we were very happy with the food and service!

On atmosphere it was outside seating which was hot. Very poor service. But food was excellent. They must keep waiters who can communicate. We tried non veg thali lamb which was good. I tried grilled kapstan fish and it was awesome.

Rip off price for a simple beer. Got charged 600 for 2 small beers. Didn't eat but seeing other reviews the food is also over priced. Luckily we're staying in a 5 star place just a walk away where the prices are much more reasonable.

Food was delicious. Ordered octopus curry and fish, both were delicious. Octopus was tender! The curry was flavourful thanks to the different spices used. Service was very good.

Avoid this restaurant, its a tourist trap! We were on a full day island trip and we stopped there to eat something. Unfortunately, very disappointing. We asked for grilled prawns and they were actually fried, we asked for baked potatos - they brought french fries. Maybe the language was an issue... but when confronted, they said that they cook like this and it is grill. We ate in many places on the island grilled meat, fish and seafood and there were not fried.

I’d give this place a miss. Spicy crab.. really? A cloying sauce that had no spice. And about a tablespoon of crab 🦀 once shelled. Server was ok.. beer was under the plim line. We had two pepper shakers ( no salt) on our table.. and after we’d asked for an actual salt shaker ( for the bland food) he walked by several times without bringing one. Definitely could have used finger bowls with this mess of a meal. One dirty hand towel in each bathroom. Gross. Hand dryer was unplugged. Tables nicely set with ? Mexican music in background but the whole place was a rip.

We ordered salads and soft drinks for lunch. The portion served was tiny compared to its price.

I totally agree to the previous comment. Our taxi driver dropped us here. Only tourists in this place. Prices are way too high for Mauritius. You better go to a more local restaurant and eat better food for less cash. Also meals are very small. Good were free wifi, service and taste of the food.
