The Chamarel Coffee Plantation and Café offers a unique way to discover the taste, landscape and heritage of Chamarel. Set within the famous Chamarel Seven Coloured Earth Geopark, this experience takes visitors beyond the viewpoint and into the story of locally grown coffee, Mauritian craftsmanship and the volcanic terroir that makes this region so special.
The guided coffee plantation tour gives visitors an immersive look at the journey of Café de Chamarel, from the coffee trees growing in the fertile highlands to the tasting experience at the end of the visit. Guests walk through the plantation with a guide, learn about traditional harvesting methods, discover the transformation of coffee beans from crop to cup, and understand how Chamarel’s climate and volcanic soil influence the flavour of the coffee.
The official experience lasts up to around 80 minutes, including a guided plantation walk and an interactive cupping session.
After the tour, the Coffee Plantation Boutique is the perfect place to explore local flavours and souvenirs. The boutique celebrates the land of Chamarel through locally grown coffee, handmade creations, Mauritian artisan products and carefully selected pieces connected to the region’s culture, landscape and coffee-making heritage.
Visitors can also enjoy a relaxing stop at the Viewpoint Café, surrounded by nature and panoramic views. It is an ideal place to pause during a visit to Chamarel, enjoy local flavours and complete the coffee experience with a peaceful moment overlooking one of the most scenic areas of Mauritius.
For travellers looking for an authentic thing to do in Chamarel, the Coffee Plantation and Café combines nature, flavour, culture and local heritage in one memorable stop. It is perfect for coffee lovers, couples, families and visitors who want to experience the Seven Coloured Earth Geopark through more than its famous coloured dunes.
