The most sustainable luxury hotels in Mauritius

We had to start the list with Bubble Lodge, as this eco-lodge in Mauritius is incredibly unique. 

The transparent domes are nestled in amongst a bountiful tea plantation where guests will enjoy a peaceful stay, gazing at the stars in a zen atmosphere. 

The lodges were built with the environment at their core, with French designer Pierre Stephanie Dumas ensuring they have an incredibly low environmental impact. The design is rustic, with nature as the main theme. 

Outside of the lodge, guests can enjoy various activities such as kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing, hiking and tea-tasting.
