Travel Guide Baie Du Cap

"Baie du Cap, village créole, village de la mer des pirogues qui remuent leurs hanches au rythme du vent et de la vague que berce le Séga... Anbalaba." As poeticized by the painter Vaco and sung by the segatist Claudio Veeraragoo, Baie du Cap is a pretty, somewhat sleepy fishing village, with colorful houses and flower gardens, and a historic post office still active in a pretty white hut with yellow shutters.A project to build luxury villas and apartments is currently underway, which should revitalize this part of the coastline (as is already the case at Restaurant Station A, a delightful gourmet stopover with live music every Saturday) and partially change the face of the hamlet without necessarily denaturing it. In a spirit of integration and exchange, Anbalaba aims to be anchored in the life of Baie du Cap, and will combine leisure and meeting spaces in the form of boutiques, restaurants, services etc., arranged around a village square capable of hosting events, festivals, markets and so on. It's already happening to some extent. The project itself is atypical, featuring bioclimatic villas designed to minimize their impact on the environment. The Ecolodge Nomadic is part of a sustainable travel approach, with cocoon-shaped rooms and permaculture landscaping. To be continued...From Baie du Cap, you can climb up into the heights of the island to Chamarel via a path winding through tropical vegetation, or continue south-west towards Le Morne via a superb panoramic road.
