Travel Guide Chamarel

There's no ostentation in this picturesque village, where tin-roofed huts are scattered among tropical trees. The village is named after its former owner, François-Régis Chazal de Chamarel, ancestor of Malcolm de Chazal, the great Mauritian painter and author. The area is best known for its Terres de Sept Couleurs, but in reality offers many other attractions and curiosities. Previously quiet, the village has benefited from numerous developments in recent years: Curious Corner, table d'hôtes, charming guesthouses, exclusive lodge, Rhumerie... More than just a place to visit, Chamarel has become THE green destination in Mauritius, a place where you can potentially put down your bags for 2 or 3 nights, or even for an entire stay, since the sea is, after all, only a 20-minute drive away... Aware of the potential, Chamarel's operators have decided to join forces and created l'Esprit Chamarel, an association to promote and develop the village - signage has been improved, some buildings have been embellished, and other projects should further boost this beautiful part of the island where you can spend your vacations as close to nature as possible.
