1. Ile des Deux Cocos is a private island located off the southeast coast of Mauritius. It is considered one of the most exclusive and stunning islands in the country. The island covers an area of 4.45 hectares and is known for its pristine white sandy beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and lush tropical vegetation.

One interesting fact about Ile des Deux Cocos is that it was once owned by British Governor Sir Hesketh Bell during the colonial era. It has since changed hands several times before being acquired by the current owners, who have transformed it into a luxurious private retreat.

The island is home to a beautiful colonial-style villa, which was built in 1920 and has been restored to its former glory. The villa offers luxurious accommodation for guests, with spacious suites, a private infinity pool, and breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean.

In addition to its stunning natural beauty, Ile des Deux Cocos offers a range of activities for visitors to enjoy. Guests can go snorkeling or diving in the surrounding coral reefs, take a cruise on a traditional Mauritian pirogue, or simply relax on the beach and soak up the sun.

It is usually open from 10 am to 4 pm, but it is best to check with the island’s management for the most up-to-date information. Unfortunately, a specific phone number for the island is not available.
