The most refined and most romantically magnificent island destination in the Indian Ocean — where the Le Morne Brabant peninsula’s dramatic basalt monolith rises from a UNESCO-listed lagoon of such extraordinary turquoise luminosity that it appears almost supernaturally beautiful, the Chamarel region’s extraordinary Seven Coloured Earths create a geological landscape of unique and breathtaking natural artistry, and the Blue Bay Marine Park’s pristine coral reef ecosystem shelters a diversity of marine life so extraordinary that it has earned recognition as one of the most important and most beautifully preserved marine protected areas in the entire Indian Ocean basin.
