Les Lataniers Bleus

Mauritius


If you're hoping to partake in the Mauritian chambre d'hôte experience, look no further – Les Lataniers Bleus offers local hospitality at its finest. Josette Marchal-Vexlard is the head of the household, and she dotes on her guests with effortless charm and an infectious smile. Major renovations were undertaken in 2018, with a view to reopening in late 2019.

Every comfort has been considered – there's even a power point hidden in a tree trunk so that you can update your blog while sitting in the sand. The evening table d'hôte on the veranda is a great way to meet other guests and learn about life on the island from the affable hostess.
