Traditional Villa Les Dunes 1
Located on a beach of Poste Lafayette, on the East coast of Mauritius, villa Les Dunes 1 is a typical seaside holiday villa of Mauritius, known as “Campements,” made of old stone walls and a thatch roof. Built in the late fifties it has been fully renovated in 2013, adopting a contemporary interior and modern equipment without losing any of its authentic charm.
The house counts 3 air-conditioned double bedrooms; the one on first floor has its en-suite bathroom. In-between the roof and the wooden flooring, a great view on the ocean in a unique cocoon atmosphere. The other 2 bedrooms downstairs have twin beds and share a bathroom. In the mezzanine, the TV room offers 2 additional bedding suitable to children or teenagers, bringing total bedding capacity to 8.
Les Dunes 1 is almost semi-detached to villa Les Dunes 2, a luxury villa with swimming pool. They are positioned in such a way that the guests of one another are not disturbed. A small garden gate can however link the two villas allowing the accommodation of up to 12 guests.
A fully-equipped American kitchen, a deck around the swimming pool sheltered by endemic shrubs contribute in the palpable charm of this villa.
The environment in Poste Lafayette is still wild and natural where the wave-break and the breeze in the “filaos” brushwood are the lullaby. It is a most relaxing and invigorating place where one is happy to land for holidays to recover from a hectic period at work.
If you have young kids, the pool is equipped with a pool safety net, available upon request and to be installed by Jim the housekeeper.

Wonderful holiday
We stayed at Villa Les Dunes 1 a wonderful holiday. The house is very nicely renovated and furnished, the equipment is very generous. The care, the service by the housekeepers and the "caretaker" were first class, in particular also the meals, which they cooked for us. The environment is very quiet, the small beaches lonely, so you can spend a relaxing holiday here. We enjoyed her time very much.
Beautiful, Quiet, Right on the Beach!
The house was perfect- it is right on the beach, very private, great pool and outdoor area overlooking the water. The upstairs suite is wonderful and you can hear the waves at night. The downstairs bedrooms are smaller and perfect for kids. It is very private, set back from the road. The staff was great and daily cleaning person spoke perfect English and French.
The most wonderful villa on Mauritius!
A villa with a great interior, nice pool, terrific terrace with beautiful view, a good housekeeping and cooking. A good starting point to explore Mauritius.
