Discover Riviere Du Rempart

Different travel interests come together in the district of Riviere Du Rempart: a visit to the church in Cap Malheureux and golf at The Nine at Azuri Golf. Across the wider destination of Mauritius, there are additional natural and cultural sites to explore. When choosing a holiday rental, it is worth first deciding what you want to focus on: should your trip mainly take in the district, or also other parts of Mauritius?

Visiting the church in Cap Malheureux

You can enter the Notre Dame Auxiliatrice church in Cap Malheureux to attend Mass or see the holy water font made from a giant seashell. The visit thus offers two clear points of interest: the religious occasion of a Mass and a specially designed font. You can decide which one shapes your travel plans based on your interests.

For anyone looking for a holiday rental, the church is a specific place in the district around which a cultural interest can be planned. If you are planning a trip for a group with different interests, it helps to weigh visits like this against other planned activities.

Golf at The Nine at Azuri Golf

The Nine at Azuri Golf is a nine-hole par-3 golf course in the district of Rivière du Rempart, near the northeast coast of Mauritius. These details give the course a clear place in your travel plans: it is a dedicated option for anyone who wants to include golf. Check before your trip whether the course is currently open.

Nature across the wider destination of Mauritius

The wider destination of Mauritius also offers natural attractions that extend beyond the district. Bras d’Eau National Park lies in the northeast of the island and covers 497.2 hectares. On 25 October 2011, it was declared Mauritius’s second terrestrial national park. It is predominantly planted with mahogany, araucarias, Tecoma and eucalyptus. Its size, plant life and designation each describe a different aspect of the area.

Mare Sarcelle is part of Bras d’Eau National Park and is home to mangroves, native plant species and several migratory bird species. The Coq des Bois Trail passes through the forest and ends at Mares Chevrettes. The wider destination of Mauritius thus offers both a specific trail destination and habitats with a variety of plant and bird species. The trail is a distinct nature-based option for your travel plans; choose your accommodation based on the places you intend to visit.

Cultural heritage at other locations in Mauritius

The Le Morne Cultural Landscape is located at the southwestern tip of Mauritius and was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List on 10 July 2008. It illustrates the history of slavery in Mauritius and the pursuit of freedom in the 17th and 18th centuries. The mountain served as a fortress and refuge for escaped enslaved people; physical and oral accounts attest to this use. Le Morne therefore offers an important historical perspective on Mauritius, alongside the specific interests in the district.

Other historical points of interest in Mauritius include the Frederik Hendrik Museum, which opened on 27 May 1999, and Vieux Grand Port, considered the site of the first human settlement in Mauritius. These sites add a range of historical contexts to the picture of the island. When choosing a holiday rental, consider whether you want to focus on places in the district or explore other parts of Mauritius.

Flavours and getting around in Mauritius

Dhollpuri and Roti are among Mauritians’ favourite dishes and add a culinary dimension to the wider destination. Bus services operate in various regions of Mauritius and make it possible to travel to almost every place on the island. Check current routes and timetables before your trip.
