Le Morne
A mountain, a huge lagoon and the wild southwest.
Who it is for
Nature lovers, hikers, kitesurfers and couples looking for a beautiful, quiet resort. Best with a car: the village is small.
Top things to do
- Hike Le Morne Brabant early in the morning with a guide (the top section is steep).
- Learn about the history of the mountain, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, at the Slave Route Monument at its foot.
- Kitesurf or take a lesson in the lagoon, best in the windy winter months.
- Drive up to Chamarel for the Seven Coloured Earth and the waterfall.

- Snack bars and small family restaurants in the village of La Gaulette, just north.
- Restaurants in the hills of Chamarel, with views over the coast.
Where to stay
Big beachfront resorts on the peninsula itself; guesthouses and villas in La Gaulette are cheaper and close to the kitesurf spots.
