Cattleya Villa
Villa Cattleya, Marvelous Villa, lagoon-front in Grand Bay center, private pool.
You think that luxury is simply the authenticity of a beautiful tropical garden set on the edge of a world renowned lagoon. Your tastes are different from those of lambda travelers and you flee impersonal hotel rooms. You prefer to spend quality time with family or friends in a friendly atmosphere. You want to discover Mauritius and be surrounded by beauty, in an historical beach villa with an extraordinary welcoming atmosphere. You also want to know all the flavors of the local cuisine. You are looking for just what is best in terms of location, authenticity and service.
I am a unique seafront villa, a treasure hidden on the shores of the north of Mauritius. I am located in a quiet and private environment in the compound of a very large family property.
Allow me to reveal a little secret: I once belonged to the first family to settle in Grand Bay and some say that the village of Grand Bay was built around me. I am 94 years old and have been always owned by the same family. I am a very precious asset of this family, who sometimes agree to share me. My owners simply adulate me and a well-trained and dedicated staff work hard to keep me magnificent so as to spoil you.
I am built in a traditional tropical style of days gone by. However I always managed to remain attractive, as evidenced by the well maintained lush garden which embellished me. I am much more than a house! I am a small tropical paradise where your holiday dreams in Mauritius become reality.
Combining the comforts of my own lagoon access with the pleasures of the pool, I am beyond luxury. I am a private peaceful haven. All those who come to stay fall inevitably under my charismatic spell.
My prime location in the best tourist destination in Mauritius needs no words, it is on all the tourist’s guides.
