Le Canonnier Hotel - 4 stars

Le Canonnier Hotel & Resort - 4 Stars

Le Canonnier is one of the most popular family resorts in Mauritius. Located on a sheltered peninsula at the northern tip of Mauritius, Le Canonnier enjoys breathtaking views of the nearby islets.

Extensive gardens, dotted with ponds and pools, stretch along the peninsula. Located on an historical site, Le Canonnier has succeeded in preserving its natural beauty and unique character. In the magnificent gardens, you will find relics of a bygone era including an ancient lighthouse and the vestiges of a fortress.

The sophisticated rooms overlook either the lush gardens and swimming pool or the glittering turquoise sea. Blending perfectly with their tropical surroundings, they benefit from soothing neutral colors and natural woods creating an ambiance of casual elegance.

The furniture is in light-colored wood and the walls are decorated in a unique shade of plum while delicate shutters and curtains gently filter in natural light. Equipped with large framed mirrors, that add a sense of space, the bathrooms are modern with a tropical slant.

The one-bedroom Standard rooms feature a bathroom with a shower whereas the slightly larger Superior rooms have both a bath and shower.
