La Gaulette is a small coastal village in Mauritius’s south-west, within the Black River District and close to the lagoon facing Île aux Bénitiers. This page helps when choosing a place to stay, looking for everyday services or planning time on the water and around Le Morne.
The village has a working coastal atmosphere rather than the feel of a large resort. Near the shore, boats, fishing activity and lagoon views shape the day, while the inland streets bring together homes, guesthouses, small restaurants, shops and practical services. It is a useful combination for people who want a quieter base, a connection with local life and the chance to arrange activities without living in an isolated holiday complex.
For a longer stay, compare the exact position and how each property fits your routine. A home near the waterfront may suit someone who wants quick access to the lagoon, while a quieter inland street can offer more space. Parking, road access, internet, outdoor areas, kitchen equipment and distance to groceries are worth checking alongside the view, especially for families and remote workers.
La Gaulette is also a practical starting point for the south-west. Depending on the season and your interests, you may look for boat outings, fishing, lagoon sports, equipment help, local guides, vehicle services or property care, then compare routes towards Le Morne, Chamarel, Tamarin and Rivière Noire. The right base depends on whether you want to be close to the water, local food, a particular activity or the roads leading to the island’s natural highlights.
