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

"Wunderschön gelegene Bungalowanlage. Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Ausgezeichtetes Essen. "Negatives": etwas abgelegen. Bungalow wird nur gereinigt, wenn der Schlüssel am Morgen jeweils abgegeben wird."

"Beautiful spot on the cliff over the Indian Ocean on the south coast of Mauritius. About 40 minutes from the airport, including the track through the sugar cane plantation. Quiet except for the continuous roaring of the sea and the waterfall. Wonderful staff, friendly and courteous. In particular the chief chef who made fascinating meals in local style.

"I have been to many places and sugar beach is without doubt the miat relaxing snd most beautiful place i have ever stayed at. The location is stunning, the beach is a stones throw away from the pool. From your chair you can 15 seconds from the pool, beach or bar! The staff are fantastic, food is great. I cannot speak highly enough about Sugar Beach. "
