Lakaz Chamarel Exclusive Lodge

We stayed at Lakaz Chamarel last week to celebrate our wedding anniversary and it was wonderful. From the moment of arrival to our departure, the stay was outstanding. The location itself is special. Perched on a hill way up above the island’s south east coast, you are surrounded by unique fauna and flora. We nearly stepped on a Panther Chameleon (the only type to be found in Mauritius). We also spotted a mongoose, an oriental garden lizard and beautiful birds (like the abundant red-whiskered bul bul) - all around our lodge. From the View Bar next door we watched the island’s huge flying foxes gliding around at sunset too. We stayed in the Piton Rivière Noir chalet. We had our own infinity pool - from where we could look down to the sea - unforgettable. We were just a few steps from the path up to the summit of Piton Canot. Although a strenuous climb, the reward at the top was quite something. It’s a very peaceful place too and, as part of our package, we enjoyed a coconut body scrub, a massage and a couple of henna tattoos. The yoga session was good too - everyone felt welcome, regardless of experience. The meals were also top quality. We enjoyed the dorade and ruby snapper - everything so well seasoned too. It was here that we tried the local lychee wine - you should try it - semi-sec and perfect for the tropical food. What made the stay especially memorable was the warmth of the team who works there. We want to give a special thank you to Peggy and Thierry (the location managers). Peggy ensured that our late arrival would soon be forgotten by walking us over to our dinner table and letting us know we could complete the check-in formalities the next morning and Thierry was a gem too - offering helpful advice and offering us a late check out (and lunch) to make up for the time we missed due to our missed connection in Dubai. Thanks for the beautiful anniversary gift too! We’ll treasure it. 10/10. Perfect.

I spent one night at Lakaz Chamarel, and it was worth every single penny! My partner and I booked the seaview room, and I have to say, everything was perfect—and it takes a lot for me to find no flaws! The Room: 10/10 – Spotlessly clean, with breathtaking views, great amenities, and an incredible location. Truly flawless! The Service: 100/10 – Thierry, the F&B manager, is an absolute gem! His hospitality made us feel at ease and comfortable throughout our stay. Juanna was also fantastic, always ready to assist and super helpful. This place is a little piece of paradise! Being surrounded by nature is such a unique experience, and the landscaping is absolutely stunning—every detail is so well thought out. The View Bar: What can I say? The highlight of our stay! Relaxing lounge vibes paired with a spectacular view—it doesn’t get any better than this. A Couple of Suggestions: • The dinner menu was a bit restrictive and leaned heavily on local dishes. As residents, we would have appreciated more variety and options beyond local cuisine. • The rooms need air conditioning. We understand and respect the eco-friendly concept, but it was uncomfortably warm at night, even with the fans. Apart from these minor points, I absolutely recommend Lakaz Chamarel to anyone looking for a tranquil and unique getaway. We’ll definitely be back!

Went to Lakaz with my husband for our honeymoon and we stayed at suite tropical. Had the best sleep in our spacious apartment, LOVED chef Eddy's food and warm staff (Vinesh made sure we got royalty treatment! ＜3); gym, pool and massage - divine!

Dear Lakaz Charamel team, Qui Manier? It is challenging to find the correct words: the stay at your place was an absolute dream! You really have created a piece of heaven! A true paradise. We would like to thank you very much for this great vacation! Thanks to Vinesh for the great service and the nice conversations! Thank you Christiana for the good cocktails, the great tips, the nice conversations and of course for the chili And thanks Jeremy for the great service and Chili Omelettes ;) And of course everyone one else we forgot in the service, the reception, the kitchen and the transfers.

We had a weekend get-away at Lakaz Chamarel... It was just awesome and peaceful for a relaxing weekend. Alicia took care of our reservation. Thierry and Vinesh have been super with us while having dinner and breakfast... Peggy was always checking on us if anything missing. The massage done by Karishma is a must... Lovely experience over there... To redo!

In equal measure I want to keep Lakaz a secret AND shout about it to the world! Lakaz is set in beautiful, tranquil, tropically lush gardens. The accommodations, a selection of individual lodges dotted around the estate, some with private pool, all beautifully furnished, stylish, simple. For a real treat, book yourself into the recent portfolio addition, a private villa with pool and outdoor shower room, secluded behind your own walled garden…. perfect for couples (with extra sofa bed if you’re travelling with kiddies) The food is world class, the finest ingredients, beautifully presented… be sure to try the La Table Creole for a taste of local Mauritian cuisine. The highest level of service from the staff seems to come so easily to them. Of course you are a guest here, however, they have the most amazing ability to make you feel like you ARE the Lakaz Chamarel experience. An exquisite delight that has blessed Mauritius and our beautiful world. Thank you Lakaz Team, it was a privilege to experience your hospitality.
