Belle Ombre is a picturesque beach located on the southwest coast of Mauritius. This region is known for its natural beauty, secluded beaches and tranquil atmosphere. Bel Ombre beach is characterized by long sandy stretches, fringed with tropical greenery and cazaurines, and of course crystal clear water. 

The sand on the beach is light and soft, with a golden hue. It is pleasant to the touch and perfect for walking barefoot. Although it is not as white as some other resorts in Mauritius, you will still have an unforgettable experience.

Beach infrastructure

A parking lot with local fast food is located near the beach. There are not many restaurants or stores on the beach itself, so for additional amenities such as food or entertainment, it is better to focus on the service of hotels. Tourists who are not staying in hotels can use the beach areas, but basic amenities such as sun beds and umbrellas are only available to hotel guests.

Things to do at Belle Ombre Beach

  • Kitesurfing: The southwest coast, including Belle Ombre, is renowned for its ideal kitesurfing conditions thanks to its strong winds and spacious lagoon.
  • Snorkeling: The waters off the beach offer a rich underwater world and snorkeling is a popular activity. 
  • Swimming: Despite the windy conditions, the lagoon is protected from strong waves, making it safe for swimming.
  • Fishing and boat trips: Local tour companies offer fishing trips and boat excursions in the surrounding waters.

How to get to Belle Ombre Beach

Belle Ombre beach is located on the southwest coast of Mauritius, about 40-50 kilometers from the island's capital, Port Louis, a trip from which will take about an hour and a half.
