Mauritius - Eastern Mauritius

The district of Flacq occupies most of the east of the island, which for our purposes extends from Roches Noires in the northeast down to Bois des Amourettes in the southeast.

Much of eastern Mauritius was covered with ebony forest when the Dutch settled here in the 17th century, but it didn’t take them long to start felling the trees to make a road northwards from their settlement at Grand Port. The French continued attacking the forests, using the timber to build ships and houses. The land is now primarily devoted to sugarcane.

The beaches around Belle Mare are glorious, if a little windy in winter, and have attracted a string of upmarket hotels. However, there is still mid-range and budget accommodation to be found. The area is popular with golfers, who come to take advantage of the two Constance Belle Mare Plage courses

The uninhabited Ile aux Cerfs, off Trou d’Eau Douce, is one of the best-known tourist attractions of the east, with its miles of beaches, copious watersports facilities and championship golf course belonging to Le Touessrok Hotel. The area south of Trou d’Eau Douce is largely undeveloped owing to the lack of beaches. Driving along this coast is a real pleasure, with the road sandwiched between the sea and unspoilt fishing villages.
