The Seven Coloured Earths are a geological formation and prominent tourist attraction found in the Chamarel plain of the Rivière Noire District in south-western Mauritius. It is a relatively small area of sand dunes comprising sand of seven distinct colours (approximately red, brown, violet, green, blue, purple and yellow). The main feature of the place is that since these differently coloured sands spontaneously settle in different layers, dunes acquire a surrealistic, striped colouring. Since the earth was first exposed, rains have carved beautiful patterns into the hillside, creating an effect of earthen meringue

"very nice located, spacious rooms with private pool, good restaurant and an excellent staff"

Durch die Lage im Wald, schwer sauber zu halten. Bei der Lage scheiden sich die Geister: 3km An-/Abfahrt über Schlaglochpiste bzw.

"Absolutely fantastic holiday….great hotel and staff are amazing. "

Hotel Riu Turquoise - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was perfect! The room, the food, the bar, the staff etc. The only thing is that since it’s winter over there it was very windy and kinda cold during the evening/ night. The room services were great! They’re up very early everyday to come clean your room, a bit too much but its part of the service and it’s remarkable to see them working. "
