Pont Naturel

Don't waste your time trying to find this place! You'll probably get lost in the sugarcane fields maze or you'll have a flat tyre or both. Instead, visit Savinia beach nearby, which is accessible by road - take a left at the L'escalier police station and go around the Omnicane factory (you'll feel like you're trespassing inside their gate but it's open to the public as far as I know) and you'll see a metal gate where the timings are written (till 6 pm). After you go some distance into the gate, somewhere between 50-200 m, you'll find an opening to your right. Leave your car there, walk through that, follow the trail up ahead and turn left, cross the opening in the fence and go see the huge waves splashing against the rocks. It's beautiful and worth a visit! There will be no people around and we found that it was still quite safe, but it's not advisable to go alone or after dark. There is another entrance ahead of where we left our car but that was not very car friendly. Maybe an SUV can handle it but it's very narrow as well, so maybe you have...

The journey to this spot is not easy. You need to cross sugarcane fields. The map wasn't accurate but the pointers are of a great help.

You cannot leave the place easily as it's enchanting and the serenity makes you want to just stay and watch the dance of the waves in silence. Your Zen will activate here ! Worth the effort to reach here. Photos don't do justice to this beauty, you need to see it for yourself. It's kind of secluded so go as a group. Additional tip: wear proper shoes and gears(it's quite windy) and also there are a lot of dogs so please respect their right to the place and do not...

The off roads you’ll traverse to reach this dramatic natural landscape are well worth the journey. Pont Naturel (or natural bridge) is a volcanic rock formation stretching two metres across swirling glacier blue and white waves on the south coast of Mauritius. It might look like a man-made construction, but it’s entirely formed by natural processes. Water pours through tiny holes in the rock, making eerie whistling sounds known as “le souffler”, which means “a blower”.

Pont Naturel can be found between Le Souffleur and Le Bouchon. The sea here is strong and fierce, with waves smashing against the cliffs. For this reason, it’s not suitable for swimming, but it’s a magical spot to contemplate the power and beauty of nature. It’s also a great spot for...
