If you feel like dining out, the closest options will be in La Gaulette and Baie du Cap, both at a 20min drive. You can also opt for Black River with several restaurant options at a 30min drive.

Special attention on Sundays as most shops and supermarkets on the island will close around 12am.
YOUR HOSTS As hospitality professionals in boutique-style properties for over 20 years, we wanted to share this immersive experience, lost in the hills and valley of Chamarel, as an alternative way to discover Mauritius.
For years, we’ve been conceptualizing a one-of-a-kind off-the-grid holiday experience in Mauritius where comfort and elegance truly meet sustainability.
By sharing our vision with a passionate team of globetrotters, family, friends, and local professionals, we have created a sanctuary to share.
ChamGaia has sustainability at its core.
From the choice of materials to the selection of everyday products, we remain consistent in our eco-responsible commitment.
We are proud to be 100% self-sufficient in energy and water, making the villa truly off-grid.
The design and construction have been inspired by nature, to create as little disturbance as possible to the surrounding vegetation.
We are most happy with environmentally thinking guests, who treat ChamGaia with love and care.
Use nature’s resources mindfully and ChamGaia will take great care of you.
