Prince William visited this tiny volcanic island on his gap
year and must have been charmed and delighted by its
laid-back lifestyle, beguiling landscapes and the spectacular
coral reefs that encircle this 8x18km paradise.
In a nutshell
Although youre unlikely to have paparazzi hounding you everywhere
you go, like Wills, the idyllic tropical shores of Rodrigues still offer
visitors a rare escape from the outside world. Here youll find near
deserted powder-white sands, pristine coral reefs teeming with colourful
marine life and a lush, mountainous interior that just begs to be explored,
whether on foot or by bike. Sailboarding is a popular sport on the 200km
lagoon that encircles the island, or you can take a boat tour around some
of the deserted surrounding islets. An island tour reveals island secrets
like the stalactite-rich Caverne Patate, dramatic ravines or a simple caf
serving delicious freshly caught fish. Alternatively, simply relax and
enjoy this lost island paradise.
