The island of Rodrigues leaves an indelible impression on visitors. It has another worldly feel to it and has managed to retain a life-style of earlier, less hectic times.

Tekoma is an invitation to be carried away by the scenery around the hotel, its fine sandy beach, the elegance of its Creole architecture, the little paths near the hotel which lead to Trou d’Argent, the island’s unspoilt beauty and the kindness of its inhabitants.

Tekoma Boutik Hotel is located on the stunning beach of Anse Ally with the Indian Ocean as a horizon. Far from other dwellings, its 32 individual seaview rooms overlook the scenery of Saint-François Bay. This is perhaps where time has followed the French poet Lamartine’s injunction, “Oh Time, suspend your flight ! ”

ROOMS & SUITES
In the middle of an endemic garden and facing a pristine beach, the 32 rooms with sea view, built in individual units, give the visitor the impression of owning his own little Creole-style villa. The rooms are organised in 3 categories, Standard, Superior & Beachfront.

The individual rooms provide more tranquility and privacy with the added bonus of a breathtaking view of the surrounding elements. The open-air bathtub will delight those who want to take advantage, during a bath, of the calm evenings of Rodrigues while looking at the stars of the south hemisphere sky.

TEK TROPICAL DINING & BAR
Fine local cuisine & the indian ocean as a horizon. “I open my eyes and I see the ocean. It is the ocean as I have never seen it before. Free, wild, dizzyingly blue.”

Above is a quote from “Le Chercheur d’Or”, a novel written by French-Mauritian Nobel laureate writer J. M. G. Le Clézio. It illustrates perfectly the breathtaking views that can be admired from Tekoma’s main restaurant & bar. A spectacular panorama of the Indian Ocean and of the Saint-François canal which meanders the immense blue lagoon.

The excellent table of the Rodriguan chef Duvergé Agathe, gifted in the art of combining traditional cuisine with fresh local products, will excite the taste buds. We invite you to discover its already iconic dishes such as the green papaya salad with watercress and salted fish, or the noodles with crab and kaffir lime.

And make sure to discover our Gin Bar with carefully selected spirits & mixers from the Indian Ocean area.

TEKOMA SPA
Tekoma’s guest experience can be defined as “Barefoot Luxury”. It is an invitation to simplicity, relaxation and cocooning in an exceptional setting. This boutique hotel offers a level of comfort and high quality service while keeping this connection to the life and rhythm of the island.

The Spa at Tekoma is open everyday and offers a wide range of treatments using mainly natural & local products. Massages, manicures & pedicures, body scrubs, to be enjoyed alone or with your loved one in our double cabin. Don’t forget that our direct bookers benefit from discounted rates on selected spa treatments.

SUSTAINABILITY
Tekoma has reopened with a more eco-responsible operation. Among many other things, no more single-use plastic, almost exclusively local products used in the kitchen, the water produced by desalination is recycled for watering, and great novelty: the launch of “One Booking, One Tree Planted” in partnership with the François Leguat reserve.

The hotel therefore contributes to the plantation of an endemic species with each reservation, and as a bonus, customers benefit from a 25% reduction on their entry to the reserve.

DISCOVER RODRIGUES (BY BBC ARTICLE) 
Marooned 600km north-east of Mauritius, and close to no other landform, Rodrigues is a world unto itself. It is also one of the world’s most remote inhabited islands.

When the plane began its descent into the small volcanic island of Rodrigues the first time I visited, I was convinced that something was wrong. Down below, the Indian Ocean stretched unbroken to the impossibly far horizon. There was no sign of land, let alone a runway large enough to safely put down a 737 aeroplane. Where did the pilot imagine we would land?

I looked around the cabin. No-one was panicking. The locals slept through it, or unconcernedly bounced children on their laps. There was no announcement from the captain, other than to politely ask passengers to fasten their seatbelts and the cabin crew to ready the cabin for landing. Breathe.

It was 10, perhaps 15 long minutes before something, anything, interrupted the monotony down below: an arc of white waves, kilometres long, broke not upon land but upon the ocean itself. Then, finally, Rodrigues, and its sleepy little airport at the western end of the island, came into view.

Nothing can prepare you for the first time you arrive in Rodrigues. Marooned 600km north-east of Mauritius, to whom it belongs, and close to no other landform, Rodrigues is a world unto itself. It is also one of the world’s most remote inhabited islands.

When seen from above on the western approach, Rodrigues is a strange and beautiful place of tightening, then widening, concentric circles of ocean, lagoon and land. The waves mark Rodrigues’ outer limits, encircling a lagoon of near-perfect aquamarine.

In turn, the lagoon encircles the main island, a long spine of green fringed with beaches and shadowed by smaller islands. The island rises to its eastern summit before sinking back into the lagoon. Then the waves once again announce the resumption of the eternal horizon.

If Rodrigues were a prison, it would be impossible to escape. But isolation has always been Rodrigues’ friend, protecting it from the world and its noise.

Rodrigues entered recorded human history in 1528 when the first ships arrived. No-one lived on the island back then and if the crew of any passing ships had come ashore here prior to this date, they left no record of their passing. Rodrigues lay too far south and too far east of the busy trade routes and trade winds that connected East Africa with Arabia and Asia.

Even when Portuguese, Dutch and French ships, blown way off course, sheltered on Rodrigues intermittently through the 16th Century, they stayed only long enough to replenish their food supplies. Most often, this meant giant tortoises and the solitaire, a fatally plump bird that sailors quickly drove to extinction, just as they had the dodo on Mauritius.

In 1691, Frenchman François Leguat arrived on the island with seven Huguenots, fleeing religious persecution by France’s Catholic government. In his account of his arrival, Leguat wrote that Rodrigues had so many giant tortoises that “one can take more than 100 steps on their shell without touching the ground”.

Leguat and his exiles planned the first colony on Rodrigues, but the remote location (and lack of women) was too much for them: after two years, unable to bear the isolation any longer, they built a boat from driftwood and fled the island, never to return.

These days, Rodrigues’ distance from the rest of the world is central to its charm. In pre-Covid times, nearly 1.5 million tourists visited Mauritius every year. Barely 90,000 of these (less than 6%) travelled to Rodrigues.

Those that did come found an island that carries echoes of Mauritius before tourists began arriving.There are no traffic jams on the island. Nothing happens in a hurry. Crime is almost non-existent.

“Rodrigues is a very safe place,” said Françoise Baptiste, one of Mauritius’ best-known chefs, who has lived on Rodrigues for 54 years. “Whenever it’s warm, which is often, we sleep with our doors open.”

Part of that sense of safety and security comes from the quiet familiarity of the place. Rodrigues has a population of fewer than 45,000 people. Unlike the melting pot demographics of Mauritius’ main island, Rodrigues is 90% Creole, its inhabitants carrying in their past a mosaic of traces from African slaves and European settlers. “We inherited sega dancing from Africa, afternoon tea and bacon from the English and pastries from the French,” said Baptiste.

“Rodrigues is a village,” added Laval Baptiste, businessman and Françoise’s husband. “Everybody knows everybody.” And while they often have to travel to the main island of Mauritius, Françoise and Laval always long for the languid lifestyle of their home island. “We are always very happy to come back after a few days of rushing around,” Laval said.

Even Rodrigues’ capital, Port Mathurin, rouses into life only occasionally – a five-minute rush hour; a flurry of minor activity whenever a ship arrives in port; the Saturday market that is all but deserted by 10:00.

From Port Mathurin, the road meanders along the north coast, heading nowhere in particular, past the tiny settlement of Anse aux Anglais, offering up still waters and sunset views like the Earth’s calm exhalation at the end of a perfect day.

In the island’s west, an ambitious project at François Leguat Reserve aims to restore a stretch of the island that slopes gently down to the lagoon’s shore. Over the centuries, settlers and visiting sailors drove the island’s tortoises to extinction and cut down most of the trees.

In recent years, those running the reserve have set the ambitious target of restoring this corner of the island to resemble, as closely as possible, how Rodrigues appeared in the 17th Century, before Leguat and his Huguenot friends arrived. To this end, they have brought in giant tortoises from elsewhere in the Indian Ocean and planted more than 100,000 trees indigenous to Rodrigues.

Along the west coast, close to the promontory known as Pointe du Diable, wooden frames often line the narrow roadside, from which ghostly white octopus limbs sway in the ocean breeze. Octopus is a centrepiece of Rodrigues culture and a staple of the Rodrigues table, to the extent that, said Laval, “Each Rodriguan will eat octopus two or three times a week.”

Fishing for octopus is “mostly practiced by women who are unemployed”, Françoise added. “They do it early in the morning. This way they have time to do house duties afterwards and contribute to the family budget at the same time.”

Caught with a harpoon at low tide in the coral shallows of Rodrigues’ lagoon, octopus is something of an island obsession, so much so that the island’s authorities have felt compelled to secure the future of their national dish, a fragrant octopus curry, by putting measures in place to prevent overfishing.

No-one may fish for octopus from February-March or September-October. During these months, said Laval, octopus fishers are paid by the local authorities not to fish by doing other work, including cleaning local beaches.

At the opposite end of the island, in the tiny hamlet of St François, is Chez Robert et Solange. In this ramshackle beach shack with ramshackle Rodrigues charm, they serve up octopus every which way – grilled octopus, octopus curry, octopus and papaya salad – as well as lobster and other fresh seafood.

Every time I visit Rodrigues and go to Chez Robert, I pretend to study the menu. I ask what’s fresh. And I spend long moments, as if lost in thought, staring out to sea through the palm trees. Then, in what feels like a Rodrigues rite of passage, I order the octopus. Each time I do so, I feel like I’ve arrived on Rodrigues for the very first time.

DIVING IN MAURITIUS
With an ideal temperature all year long, waters harbouring treasures for everlasting memories, lagoons stretching out to the coral reefs, passes, outer reefs, drop-offs or shipwrecks, Mauritius has multiple diving opportunities for both beginners and experienced divers. Internationally recognised courses (CMAS and PADI certifications being the most renowned ones worldwide) are also offered by diving centres.

Sensitive to safety issues and environmental concerns, the national association places great emphasis on these two elements. After having remained relatively unexplored for quite some time, it is now agreed that the Mauritian marine underworld is worth the trip, as testified by the prominent place that most hotels around the island give to diving activities.

There are countless good reasons for which you should come and dive in Mauritius, one of the most notable ones being the proximity of the sites, which can be reached within 20-minute boat rides, or even the possibility of having your first diving experience in a swimming pool and a lagoon with bountiful stocks of fish and shimmering corals.

Here in Mauritius, diving sites are everything but congested. For the sake of environmental protection, boats are not anchored and with just a few diving groups on the different sites, you’ll be in for an amazing discovery of this fascinating world. Each region boasts of its very own characteristics and assets.

L’AVENTURE DU SUCRE
Nestled between the walls of an old sugar factory in Beau Plan, the Aventure du Sucre narrates the inspiring history of the sugar industry of Mauritius, cornerstone celebrating three hundred years of economic success.

Sugar was part of all the accomplishments of former Isle de France. Introduced from Java by the first Dutch colonists in 1639, the sugar cane enables them to produce alcohol by the process of distillation. It is only during the French period that the first sugar mills were built for the purpose of exportation in 1745.

The production of this gold, sometimes white, sometimes brown, was done on an ongoing basis. During the British period, it was taken to another level, by becoming the main economic activity of the island. Showing how much the history of sugar and the History of Mauritius go hand in hand.

The tour of this sugar museum lasts for at least 1:30 am. However, for a complete and detailed visit, you need to consider a 3-hour tour.

You will witness the birth of the island and get acquainted to sugar throughout the ages: you will go back in time to discover the chimneys of the old Mauritians factories, and then take a glimpse at the future through the technological progress which accompanied the development of the sugar cane industry.

You will enrich your knowledge with the characteristics of this native grass originally from Oceania. You will then navigate the sugar and trading routes across the globe and also get to learn more about the manufacturing processes related to the production of rum.

In addition to educational and cultural aspect, this visit includes the tasting of a variety of more than thirty products at the Boutik Village including the twelve natural brown sugars, New Grove rums, jams and honey, only waiting to be tasted. The vast majority of this tour is made accessible to folks on wheelchair.

THE PAMPLEMOUSSES GARDEN
It eventually replaced the citrus fruit and vegetable gardens of the governor of La Bourdonnais founded in 1735 created to supply ships heading to the Indies. Pierre Poivre purchased the estate of Mon Plaisir in 1770, former property of the governor of La Bourdonnais.

The latter became the Pamplemousses Garden, a sampling and acclimatisation garden, place from which the botanist will send some of his precious plants to Madagascar and the Antilles.

Pierre Poivre gathered trees and spices from the entire world: bay trees from the Antilles, camphor trees from China, breadfruit trees from the Philippines, lychee trees from Cochin China and reunited them in one place.

Pierre welcomes Philibert Commerson, a botanist from the Bougainville expedition that stopped off in Isle de France. These two men botanised, classified, indexed, drew and planted for two years.

Abandoned by the British after the conquest of the island in 1810, the garden was taken over by James Duncan in 1849. Regaining its charm of yesteryear and welcomed new species: ferns, araucarias, orchids and bougainvilleas. James Duncan also planted many types of palm trees.

Although having suffered from the cyclones in 1861, 1892, 1945, 1960, 1975 and 1979, the Garden’s alleys and avenues, which bear the names of the well-known naturalists having contributed to its famous flora of the Mascareignes, have survived the passing of time.

A very popular tourist attraction, the garden today bears the name of Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam, first Prime Minister of an independent Mauritius.

THE PHOTOGRAPHY MUSEUM OF MAURITIUS
The first evidence of paved roadways coincides with the Middle Ages period and the urban development of the 12th century. This is to say, the predestined bond between the Vieux Conseil and its paved stones leading to the Photography Museum of Mauritius. Just as paving stones, photography stands the test of time.

The Photography Museum of Mauritius is a private museum founded in 1966 by the collector Tristan Bréville and his wife. It was initially located in their house in Rose Hill, then in Quatre Bornes.

It eventually settled in its current site in 1993: in an old building donated by the Port-Louis city council and restored thanks to the assistance of the Association of French-speaking Mayors (AIMF).

The official inauguration was on the 1st of July 1993, and took place in the presence of Jacques Toubon, French Minister of Culture, and Jean-Luc Monterrosso, director of the European House of photography.

Mauritius is one of the first countries in the world to have ventured in this newly discovered art. The daguerreotype made its appearance in Mauritius in February 1840, four months after the purchase of the patent of Louis Daguerre in France.

Many documents on the history of photography in Mauritius – portraits, landscapes, city and countryside scenes, major events, factories, fishing scenes, first cars, the first buses (1930), the Mauritian railroad, colonial houses, historical buildings, flora and fauna – are exposed in the Mauritius Photography Museum.

Its collection contains over one thousand cameras of different eras, of which the lens of Charles Chevalier manufactured for Daguerre in 1839. It’s more than 400,000 acetate negative films, it’s 5,000 glass discs, 28 daguerreotypes, 10 autochromes of the Lumière brothers, more than 200,000 shots of history and landscapes of Mauritius, it’s 9,000 old postcards, it’s more than twenty-five hours of movies about Mauritius and its inhabitants since 1939, it’s documentation of newspapers between the end of the 19th century and 1945 on photography in Mauritius and of the books and newspapers on the history of cinematography in Mauritius since 1897 also make the Mauritius Photography Museum an iconographic research centre.

Just off the eastern coast of Madagascar, surrounded by warm Indian Ocean, endless beaches and azure lagoons, lies Mauritius. At the northern tip of the renowned Belle Mare coastline, you’ll find One&Only Le Saint Géran, undoubtedly the best place to stay in Mauritius.

Arrive in style at One&Only Le Saint Géran in Mauritius, with your choice of private helicopter transfers or luxury vehicles for groups of all sizes. Let us create a tailor-made itinerary for you.

MAURITIUS
Mauritius, land of rainbows, waterfalls and shooting stars, was first sighted by passing Arab dhows as early as the 10th century. The Portuguese visited around 1510, but it was the Dutch who took possession in 1598, giving the island its name in honour of their head of state, Prince Maurice of Nassau.

The island was a port of call for ships en route to India and the East Indies, as well as a land base for pirates in the Indian Ocean. The Dutch introduced sugar cane which, in addition to tourism, remains a pillar of the Mauritian economy, yet they deemed their colonisation efforts unsuccessful, and abandoned the island in 1710.

In 1715 the French took over, renaming it “Ile de France” and eventually importing labour from Africa to work on the sugar plantations. With this, a love for rhythmic music and dancing was introduced to Mauritius and the ‘sega’ was born, a performance that is still a national tradition.

Nearly five centuries after its discovery, this jewel in the Indian Ocean has evolved into a harmonious mosaic of cultures and religions and is home to just over 1.2 million inhabitants.

2000’s
In December 2003, Mauritius Commercial Bank took over the stake of Mr. Lois Levieux and heirs and confidently supported the development of Casuarina. In 2006 the Management decided to introduce a unique experience for body and soul to its guests through the opening of a Balinese Spa.

When an infinity pool overlooking a turquoise lagoon is the least of a hotel’s charms, you know you’ve found somewhere truly special. Dedicated to creating a magical setting for memorable moments, Paradise Cove provides all you could want from a boutique island escape.

A luxury retreat here can be as laid-back or action-packed as you wish. Spend the day by the pool, sipping iced tea or cool cocktails. Lose yourself in the tropical gardens with waterside love nests made for two.

Then book a massage beside the lagoon for you and a loved one. Or make for the beach to glide across the sea on a paddleboard, before leaping above the waves with a kite surfing lesson. There’s just as much to see after sundown.

Take your pick from four sleek restaurants, serving everything from Mauritian seafood to sushi at XO or Tapas of the World at Peninsula restaurant. Sample local rums and listen to live music – or seek out a secluded spot to stargaze.

Situated on the north coast of Mauritius at Anse la Raie, the hotel enjoys an exclusive site with its natural cove, its love nests and its peninsula. The lively village of Grand Baie is situated 10 minutes away by car and the authentic fishermen’s village of Cap Malheureux only 2.5 km away.
