Sandwiched between forest-clad mountains and an exquisite turquoise lagoon on the southwest coast of the island of Mauritius, Bel Ombre is a small tourist village known for its pristine white sand beaches and spectacular natural scenery. While there are a few luxury resorts strung along the coastline, the area remains mostly undeveloped with the Frédérica Nature Reserve and the Black River Gorges National Park right on its doorstep. This unspoiled natural wilderness provides an ideal environment for an array of outdoor activities including hiking, mountain biking, 4x4 safaris, quad biking, golf, swimming and kiteboarding. Notable attractions in the area include the beautiful Rochester Falls, the clifftop viewpoint at Gris Gris, and the Vanilla Crocodile and Tortoise Park.
