Known in English as the Deer Island is an island near the East Coast of Mauritius in the Flacq District. This paradise island of Mauritius constitutes of around 100 hectares of land. The island of Ile aux Cerfs lies off Trou d’Eau Douce in the largest lagoon of Mauritius and offers 87 hectares of luxuriant vegetation and preserved, white, sandy beaches.
One can also experience three beach restaurants and engage in a wide variety of activities on Ile aux Cerfs. This picturesque island is now overrun with touts and replete with tourists baking under the tropical sun or lazing in the perfect, gin-clear waters. The obtrusive crowds and general summer-camp vibe may be off-putting at first, but few people realise that the island boasts over 4km of sandy bliss. Hike a mere kilometre down the beach and you'll uncover an idyllic ocean vista that you can have all to yourself.
