What sets it apart
Diving is the hotel’s argument: ORCA Dive Club Mauritius sits inside the grounds, and has worked there since 2007. It runs courses from beginner to divemaster, to PADI and SSI standards, from a boat that leaves from the hotel’s jetty, a few metres from the centre. It hires out 10, 12 and 15 litre aluminium and steel tanks filled with air or nitrox, and offers a free trial dive in the hotel pool at any time, then discover dives in the lagoon or at a suitable site. Trips go to the nearby sites, Coin de Mire, Sharks Pit and Trou aux Biches.
