Hotels in Riviere Noire, Mauritius

Riviere Noire, on the southwest coast of Mauritius, is known for its dramatic black volcanic sand and as a top spot for big-game fishing in the Indian Ocean. The cool, dry winter months from May to October bring pleasant temps around 60-75°F (15-24°C), perfect for hiking in the Black River Gorges National Park, where you can spot waterfalls and pink pigeons. During the hot, humid summer from November to April, with highs near 90°F (32°C), you can join dolphin-watching boat trips from the Morne Brabant peninsula or try kitesurfing off Le Morne beach.
