Lakaz Chamarel Exclusive Lodge

In equal measure I want to keep Lakaz a secret AND shout about it to the world! Lakaz is set in beautiful, tranquil, tropically lush gardens. The accommodations, a selection of individual lodges dotted around the estate, some with private pool, all beautifully furnished, stylish, simple. For a real treat, book yourself into the recent portfolio addition, a private villa with pool and outdoor shower room, secluded behind your own walled garden…. perfect for couples (with extra sofa bed if you’re travelling with kiddies) The food is world class, the finest ingredients, beautifully presented… be sure to try the La Table Creole for a taste of local Mauritian cuisine. The highest level of service from the staff seems to come so easily to them. Of course you are a guest here, however, they have the most amazing ability to make you feel like you ARE the Lakaz Chamarel experience. An exquisite delight that has blessed Mauritius and our beautiful world. Thank you Lakaz Team, it was a privilege to experience your hospitality.

Wonderful stay here. It was truly a relaxing stay in paradise. We stayed here as a part for our honeymoon for 4 nights. The whole team with Peggy and Thierry were welcoming and made us feel truly at home. We had excelent sevice and delicious cocktails made by Hansley and food service from Jocelyn. We were very well looked after during our stay and looking forward to hopefully coming again sometime. Thank you for an incredible stay!

I’ll reiterate what other people have said in that this place really is a hidden gem! We stayed here as part of our honeymoon for 6 nights and would highly recommend to anyone looking for some peace and serenity. You really do feel like you’re in the middle of nature and the rooms have some of the best views we’ve ever seen. The staff are excellent and help you with anything you need. We also particularly enjoyed the lounge room with chess, books and a fireplace for relaxing in the evening, and the Sunset View bar which serves great drinks and gives you an amazing view of the sunset. Get there as close to 5pm as possible, because the best seats fill up quickly!

I so wanted to be able to rate higher as the suite we stayed in was gorgeous but sadly service let things down. While staff were friendly they weren't always around, the bar is meant to be open from 11 but was not always staffed, the view bar on the other hand was great and staff very attentive. The cocktail menu was good. The breakfast food was simple but nice but the service very odd, some tables seemed to get offered hot drinks but not others, it was quite chaotic. The dinner menu was limited but wow the food was great and service here was very good. The other big let down was the website advertises showered that can be used to freshen up before leaving, as we were not leaving until evening we checked out and went to the beach, on the positive the shuttle bus is really handy, air conditioned and very comfortable. Before leaving we checked we could shower when we got back and was told yes on 2 occasions, when we did return we were directed to the spa to shower but they were not available due to treatments happening which meant we could not shower and had to face a 12 hour flight home with sand where we didn't want it. Sadly this and the service let the resort down

We are still staying at lakaz, but I wanted to share our experience for anyone considering visiting this hidden Gem In Mauritius. Lakaz Chameral is a world away from our first week in a beach resort and having now been here a couple of days, we wished we had booked longer. In the south the weather is different with more rain, -( the sun still shines!)… however this has not impacted our visit due to the attention to detail, the facilities and the gourmet experience at each meal. We are staying in the BulBul villa and having stayed in many luxury hotels, this is a piece of home combined with that luxury. It is beautifully designed and decorated and gives you exclusivity if you want time alone. On arrival the spectacular view combined with the serenity of the villa was quite emotional and the beauty was overwhelming. Buggy’s take you to and from your accommodation should you not wish to walk up and down the hills, but a morning walk down to breakfast gets you ready for the chef’s delights! There is a communal pool but we had our own private pool and Sitting next to this secluded private pool, combined with the decor of the villa, you could be fooled into thinking you were on safari with the plants and view of the pitons As for the staff, I must mention Peggy as she is the most hospitable host I have had the pleasure of meeting. She is nothing short of perfection and a real asset to this hotel. Her personality shows her genuine love for her role and her aspiration to make your stay perfect exceeds expectations Every single colleague in the team exudes expertise and exceptional service and the smiles which greet you at every interaction make your visit even more special Lakaz offers a unique experience where you are welcomed as family and From the moment we arrived our personal experience has been nothing short of exceptional Although every team member has been amazing, I must do a shout out to gavish our server who would be well placed in any top hotel. I would also recommend you book a massage as the spa service is an experience in itself. With various areas within the lodge, chess, a games room, the hikes, yoga, meditation area, transport to the beach aswell as the trips you can experience in the south, there is nothing that hasn’t been thought of to make your stay a memorable experience. If you are looking for a holiday where you want late nights and lots of alcohol this would not be for you, but if you are looking for a luxurious environment with calm where you can completely recharge a few days here would be an highly recommended addition to your trip to Mauritius. Lakaz truly is a hidden paradise on this island and we can’t wait to return
