Not far from Poste De Flacq believed to be the best hotel on the island, exclusive and out of this world Le Prince Maurice stretches between mangroves, sandy beaches and black lava rock formations in an unspoilt nature environment. Further inlands, the old French well at Bras d’Eau offers a sight into great depths. An interesting nature walk featuring lava tubes and fish basins leads from the visitors centre beside it right down to the beach.
