Hotels near Curious Corner of Chamarel, Chamarel

The hotel is located on top of the mountain. This no doubt is the most unique hotel with the best views possible in Mauritius. The road that goes up the mountain till Ebony Forest is well paved (though small) but easy to drive. The 1.5 km stretch from Ebony Forest till the chalet is small and paved in a way that you can drive on the paved section (see photo). Once you are at the hotel, you have ample place to park your car. The staff are very polite, humble and welcoming. They gave us welcome drinks and cold towel on arrival. We came around 1:40 p.m. and the room was ready. We were staying only for one night and were lucky to get upgraded to the suite. All the chalets have breathtaking views. The pictures do not do any justice. Immediately we regretted that we should have booked for at least 2-3 nights. The experience to stay on top of the mountain was absolutely amazing. The chalet was very nice and clean and had complimentary tea, coffee, kettle and mini fridge. The chalets are well spaced apart to give privacy. The path that leads to restaurant is hilly and we can understand for elderly that have knee problems or use assistance is not easy, but understand that you are on the top of a hilly mountain. The dinner is a la carte, and you get to choose one starter, one main course and one sweet dish. Some dishes and extra surcharge. Breakfast was simple but enough for us including cooked to order eggs. The main reason to stay in this wonderful place would be the views. It's just mesmerizing and relaxing. If you are looking for extravagant dining, or resort type facilities and are not interested in the experience then probably this is not a place for you. We really regretted that we were put off by some negative reviews regarding insects etc. and did not book for more than one night. We did not have any issues with insects inside the room. But again being in nature one would expect creatures of nature!

We came to Mauritius for our honeymoon and did a tour of the island, and this was hands down our favourite stay. The property is so beautiful, we didn’t want to leave. It felt like a safe haven. The view is stunning, the rooms are so comfortable and clean, the food is delicious (the piña colada probably one of the best I’ve ever had) and the staff/owners are sweethearts. If we come back to Mauritius, it’s to stay here!

The place felt like home! Very clean, comfortable with a good view. Raaz and his wife were helpful in all possible ways.

We liked everything: the location, the view, the charming hosts, the facilities, the beautiful room.

The house was quite big, very neat and clean and convenient to locate.
