Rodrigues Holidays
About 370 miles east of Mauritius, Rodrigues shares the same Creole roots, warm Indian Ocean light, and love of good food and music, but on a smaller, quieter scale that feels like Mauritius before the world caught on.
Rodrigues is wrapped in a vast, shallow lagoon and brushed by steady trade winds that keep everything breezy and fabulously wild. You’ll find clear, turquoise waters here, circling an island of dry green hills stitched with farms and stone walls. There’s an easy familiarity if you know Mauritius, but also a sense of escapism that’s increasingly rare. It feels remote in the best possible way, like you’ve slipped slightly off the map and found a place that’s perfectly happy doing its own thing.
Rodrigues - Perfect for
-
Gentle island rhythm
Settling into a place where daily life still follows its own rhythm, with markets, fishing boats, and village routines carrying on much as they always have, and where visitors fit gently into the background rather than reshaping it. -
Fresh flavours of the island
Eating food that’s local and tied to what’s fresh that day, from grilled fish and home-style curries to tropical fruit picked nearby, with flavours that feel rooted in the island. -
Days shaped by sea, sun and simplicity
Letting your days form naturally around swimming, walking coastal paths, and spending long stretches outdoors, where the pace is slow, and the scenery does most of the work. -
A seamless island duo
Pairing with Mauritius when you want a strong sense of contrast without extra travel stress, combining the bigger island’s choice and comfort with Rodrigues’ quiet space and simplicity in one easy, flowing trip.
Holidays in Rodrigues
- Rodrigues
- 4 Star
On the wild south coast of Rodrigues Island, C Rodrigues Mourouk sits wide open to the elements. It’s a low-key, fun-loving hotel where constant trade winds, big skies, and uninterrupted sea views set the tone from the moment you arrive.
- Rodrigues
- 4.5 Star
Sitting above one of Rodrigues’ best-looking beaches, Constance Tekoma is a villa-only retreat where life quickly drops into a lower, happier gear.
Accommodation on Rodrigues is intimate and low-key, with a focus on setting rather than scale. Places to stay tend to be small, relaxed, and well connected to the landscape, whether that means direct lagoon access or wide-open views.

Port Mathurin
Port Mathurin is tiny for a capital – in fact, it’s just a village – but it’s where the island’s energy gathers. Go in the morning, and the market is in full swing, fish on ice, fruit stacked high, hot snacks passing over counters, everyone chatting while they shop and you get a quick sense of how friendly and close-knit Rodrigues feels.

The lagoon and coastline
The lagoon is the island’s showstopper, a huge shallow sweep of clear water protected by a reef, so you can swim with confidence. The north coast is calmer and softer, great for long, lazy swims, while the south coast feels wilder and windier, with big skies and rolling surf.

Inland Rodrigues
Head inland and the scenery flips to rolling hills with stone walls, footpaths, and small farms. Walking here is quiet and grounding, passing through villages, grazing animals, and viewpoints that open out to the sea.

Food in Rodrigues
Eating is simple and satisfying. Fresh fish and octopus turn up everywhere, grilled or tucked into rich curries with rice, lentils, herbs, and a welcome hit of chilli.

Music in Rodrigues
Sega and Creole rhythms drift out in the evenings from houses and bars, drums and voices carrying through warm air.

Île aux Cocos
A short boat hop away, Île aux Cocos is an easy win for a day trip, with bright sand, birdlife, and water so clear it barely looks real. You swim, float, dry off in the sun, repeat. It adds a castaway note to a holiday and reminds you how much space there still is around Rodrigues.
