Bel Ombre sits on Mauritius' southern coast, a quieter stretch of the island than the more built-up areas around Grand Baie in the north. The Outrigger Mauritius Beach Resort is set here, on grounds that were once a working sugar cane estate, and Quintrip's package built around it runs five nights on a breakfast-and-dinner basis, with return flights included, from roughly R22,044 per person sharing.

A Southern Coast Setting

Mauritius' south coast has a different character from the island's northern beach belt — fewer large resort clusters, a more rugged coastline in places, and closer proximity to inland attractions like Black River Gorges National Park and the Seven Coloured Earth, both reachable as excursions from a Bel Ombre stay. The resort itself sits directly on the beach, with 181 rooms across its Beach, Ocean View Family, and Ocean suite categories, each with a sea view.

The Package

Quintrip's Outrigger package runs five nights on a breakfast-and-dinner basis, with return flights bundled into the price. The resort carries a five-star rating, and its dining options span several venues — from casual lunch spots to a more formal restaurant serving Mauritian fusion cuisine in a restored plantation building, giving guests a range of dining styles across a stay without needing to leave the property.

For travellers who prefer a different meal plan, Quintrip can also arrange half-board or all-inclusive options at other Mauritius properties — worth discussing with a consultant if the Outrigger's breakfast-and-dinner structure isn't the right fit.

Activities and Nearby Excursions

Beyond the beach itself, the resort offers water-based activities like snorkelling and windsurfing, along with spa treatments on site. Its location on the south coast also makes it a reasonable base for day excursions inland — Black River Gorges National Park and the Seven Coloured Earth geological formation are both within reach, typically arranged as guided day trips rather than independent outings.

Planning the Trip

Mauritius has a warmer, more humid summer from November to April and a cooler, drier winter from May to October. The south coast can see somewhat more rainfall than the drier west coast resort areas, so it's worth checking conditions with a consultant if inland excursions like Black River Gorges are part of the plan.

A Quintrip consultant can confirm current seasonal pricing on the Outrigger package and advise on adding excursions to round out a Bel Ombre stay.
