Why go Pointe d'Esny
A quieter stretch of Mauritius, shaped by sea and sky.
In our very humble opinion, no trip to Mauritius is complete without a visit to Pointe D'Esny. Unique on its own, Pointe D'Esny is one of Mauritius best beaches that are a must-see!
It is less likely to be crowded as compared to the public beach of Blue Bay and this is what makes Pointe D'Esny a heart winner among many travelers.
What Pointe D'Esny promises is a daily dose of magic sunset moments. As if it was from a painting, with the different hues of pink, purple, blue and orange sky and sail boats as props.
The beach is accessible through a narrow pathway from the coastal road, as if you were to discover a little treasure at the end of it.
