The Address Boutique Hotel

The Address Boutique Hotel sits in the residential village of Port Chambly in the Pamplemousses District, on the north-west coast of Mauritius. A lagoon lies on one side and a river on the other, and all forty-two rooms look out over one of the two — or over the village itself. Port Louis is ten minutes by road; Grand Baie, the main resort town on the north coast, is twenty.

The hotel has forty-two rooms, each refurbished with a light, contemporary interior. The property runs a spa, a gym, a restaurant, a lounge and a single tennis court. The scale keeps it quiet: this is a small hotel in a working village, not a resort compound, and the surrounding neighbourhood is low-rise and residential.

The north-west location suits both business travellers commuting to Port Louis and leisure guests who want a calm base within reach of the beaches and water sports at Grand Baie. The lagoon-side position means you have still water close by without being in the middle of the busier coastal strip.
