Ile Aux Cerfs
Ile Aux Cerfs
The small island of Ile aux Cerfs (Stag Island) off the east
coast of Mauritius is a popular tourist haven, managed by the
adjacent Touessrok Hotel, but open to the public. The island,
featuring splendid tropical vegetation and encircled by magnificent
beaches, can be reached by boat from the small fishing village of
Trou d'eau Douce. The island is equipped with a bar, restaurant and
shops, as well as watersports facilities from parasailing to
windsurfing. The most recent, and somewhat controversial,
development on the island is an 18-hole Bernhard Langer designed
championship golf course, which affords a sea view from each hole
and often requires the novelty of hitting a tee-shot over a natural
sea inlet onto the fairway.
Transport: Boats leave every half hour from Trou d'eau Douce between 9am and 5pm
