Le Morne (South West)

UNESCO Heritage & Kitesurf Paradise

Exploring the Area

Le Morne Brabant is the jewel of the south-west, a UNESCO World Heritage site that combines dramatic history with breathtaking beauty. Dominated by the iconic basaltic monolith rising 556 meters above sea level, this peninsula offers the most dramatic scenery on the island. It is a place of deep serenity, luxury, and world-class winds.

Coastal Adventures

Le Morne is globally renowned as a kitesurfing paradise. The « Kite Lagoon » offers perfect conditions for beginners and pros alike. For those who prefer staying dry, the white sandy beach stretches for miles, offering a front-row seat to the famous « underwater waterfall » optical illusion (best seen from a helicopter or drone).

Eating and Drinking

Dining in Le Morne is an upscale affair, with some of the island’s finest restaurants located within the luxury hotels along the strip. However, the public beach area offers authentic food trucks where you can enjoy a cheap and delicious « Panini » or fresh coconut while watching the kitesurfers fly.

What to See and Do

The hike to the summit of Le Morne Brabant is a must-do for active travelers, offering unparalleled views of the lagoon. History buffs should visit the Slave Route Monument at the foot of the mountain to understand the cultural significance of this sanctuary.

Where to Stay

This area hosts the « Golden Strip » of hotels. You will find the highest concentration of 5-star luxury resorts here (like LUX*, JW Marriott, Dinarobin), making it the top choice for honeymooners and luxury seekers.

How to Get Around

Le Morne is located at the far end of the island, making public transport very scarce and time-consuming. To enjoy your stay without feeling isolated, **Pallo Taxi** provides essential transfer services. Whether you need an airport transfer to your resort or a day trip to explore the rest of the island from your hotel, our private drivers ensure you travel in comfort.
