LAKAZ CHAMAREL

ACCOMMODATION

The 20 individually designed eco-lodges and suites feature original art work, antique furniture, local crafts and authentic woven palm roofs. They are dotted throughout the grounds, with lovely views of the garden's vibrant frangipani, hibiscus and mango trees. In-keeping with the natural, eco-friendly ambience, there are no TVs in the rooms; instead you are encouraged to find a tranquil spot, enjoy a spa treatment or explore nature. The four Sea View Pool suites have the benefit of infinity pools overlooking the coast and are located up a steep hill (but golf carts are provided). The wonderful Exclusive Suite is the cream of the crop - spacious and well-equipped, with mountain and sea views.

FOR FAMILIES

Children over the age of eight are welcome at Lakaz Chamarel. The grounds provide ample, safe space for curious little ones, and the rooms sleep up to three people. There is no children's club, but babysitting is offered for a fee.
