Palmar Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in Mauritius. This part of the island is absolutely worth a visit, if only for the fresh perspective it offers… Especially if you rent a car. To the north of the hotel of Veranda Palmar Beach, near Roches Noires, the clash of colours between the sea and the bare volcanic rock is not surprising, as it remains witness to the island’s creation, where waves keep crashing on this jet black volcanic rock. Palmar’s surroundings undoubtedly boast some of the island’s finest beaches. From Trou D’eau Douce to Mahebourg, the coral reefs get further away from the coastline, contouring the largest lagoon.
