Chamarel · Mauritius
A peaceful Creole hideaway in the hills of Chamarel — where the forest, the mountains and the birdsong slow everything down.
Bienvenue à L’Albizia
Welcome to Chamarel, one of the most beautiful and peaceful parts of Mauritius. Surrounded by lush greenery, mountains and incredible views, it’s the perfect place to slow down, recharge and enjoy nature.
Our home takes its name from the Albizia tree — a graceful tree that has become part of the identity of the Chamarel valley. We’ve designed this space to be simple, comfortable and relaxing. Whether you’re here to explore or just unwind, we hope you’ll feel right at home from the moment you arrive.

Right on your doorstep
A small forest trail starts just below the house — follow the “Waterfall” sign and you can reach three of the island’s most famous sights on foot.
The island’s tallest single-drop waterfall, plunging nearly 100 metres into a forested gorge. Take the trail below the house and you’ll hear it before you see it.
Carry on another ~10 minutes to the Seven Coloured Earth, and ~10 more to Ebony Forest.
Chamarel’s famous dunes of naturally rainbow-striped sand — unmissable at golden hour.
Restored native forest with walking trails, canopy boardwalks and sweeping viewpoints.
A working distillery in the cane fields — tours, tastings and a very good restaurant.
Taste rare Chamarel-grown arabica at the island’s only coffee plantation.
A playful museum of illusions right at the entrance of the village — great with kids.
Le Morne Brabant, Piton Canot & Piton de la Petite Rivière Noire. Trails aren’t always marked — go guided (Yanature, +230 5251 4050).
Guest reviews
“Silent paradise.”
“The property is beautifully designed and offers a wonderful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It truly feels like a home where you can relax, reconnect with yourself, and enjoy quality time with your family. The house is fully equipped with every amenity you could need. The balcony overlooks stunning natural views… watching the stars through the small window at night was a magical touch. A heartfelt thank you to Yannick and the entire team for their exceptional hospitality — their kindness made our stay truly memorable.”
“A superb retreat in the lush and tranquil area of Chamarel. Beautiful property, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Excellent communication with the property managers. Highly recommend for a relaxing few days in the south of Mauritius. We very much hope to return!”

House notes: no smoking inside (the veranda is perfect for that), no parties or pets, and quiet time after 10 PM — the neighbours are mostly birds.
