Chalet Cardinal is a modern Beachfront Bungalow in southern Mauritius, 45 minutes from the airport. the house is ideally situated in a very quiet and relaxing environment, with private garden and swimming pool in front. Location Chalet Cardinal is on a grand property next to Chalet Kestrel on the beach in the vicinity of Riambel with absolutely stunning views on the ocean. Both Bungalows are separated by a wooden fence, so to each keep their privacy.

Restaurants as well as shops are within 5 – 10 minutes’ drive. The Beach is without a doubt one of the longest and less inhabited of the Island and therefore perfect for long walks in total peace.

Chalet Cardinal is located in Riambel, in the south of Mauritius, indeed perfect for those seeking an authentic experience far away from the crowds. Thus, the beach in front of the house is deserted most of the time. The access to the beach is direct through a private gate. Our Guests say that Chalet Cardinal is absolutely a little paradise ….Shake off the sand in the outdoor shower when coming from the beach and relax in the hammock to enjoy the tranquillity while you listen to the sound of the waves and the wind going through the palm trees. The shallow end of the pool offers integrated seating and is ideal for reading a book in the cooling water. Whereas, the property is fenced, it is to be noted that the pool is not and can be a potential danger for small kids.

schönes Ferienhaus in Traumlage
Eine Woche in einem wunderschönen Strandhaus. Davina (Hausmanager) war immer über WhatsApp erreichbar. Wichtige Informationen (Restaurants, Märkte...) wurden direkt mitgeteilt. Unkomplizierte Übernahme und Abgabe des Hauses. Die Hausmädchen haben Mo-Sa sauber gemacht. Sie würden auch Essen zubereiten, wenn gewünscht.
Der Zaun in Richtung Strand wurde im Verlauf der Woche erneuert. Einzig das Holzdeck um den Pool gibt es nicht mehr.
Wichtig: Nur bei Flut kann man leidlich in der Lagune vor dem Haus schwimmen, bei Ebbe ist das aufgrund des niedrigen Wasserstands nicht möglich. Wir sind immer zum St. Felix Beach gefahren (4km). Supermarkt im Nachbarort mit Auto schnell erreichbar.
Gute Reitschule fußläufig erreichbar. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Très beau bungalow avec tout le confort pour passer un excellent séjour. La qualité de la literie est à souligner particulièrement.
Un grand merci à toute l'équipe qui gère le bungalow (réservation, accueil, ménage, jardin). Ceux-ci sont à votre écoute et font en sorte que votre séjour se passe à merveille.

Excellente Location au calme
Un excellent accueil dans cette villa dotée d'un jardin très appréciable. La pisscine est un plus. La maison est très bien équipée et Sapna saura vous donner les conseils pour passer de bonnes vacances. Une situation à Riambel au calme un peu isolée. La plage en face de la maison ne permet pas vraiment la baignade. Il faut aller plutôt à 4km à St Félix. Excellent séjour au calme en famille au Cardinal.
Merci

Magnifique chalet malgré le petit couac d'arrivée
Les propriétaires sont adorables, les lieux sont magnifiques encore mieux que sur les photos et le personnel très discret.
Le seul point négatif etait la communication et la procédure d'arrivée à cause de l'agent immobilier
