Otentic Eco Tent – Experience Authentic Glamping in Mauritius

Eco-conscious travelers seeking a unique and authentic experience in Mauritius will find the Otentic Eco Tent an ideal destination. Nestled in the tranquil village of Deux Freres on the island’s east coast, this eco-friendly glamping site offers an unparalleled opportunity to immerse oneself in the natural beauty and cultural richness of one of Mauritius’s least developed regions.

Otentic Eco Tent is distinguished as the only eco tented glamping site in Mauritius. The establishment comprises 12 safari tents and 2 wooden chalets, each integrated seamlessly into the environment to provide guests with privacy and comfort amidst spectacular natural surroundings. The site’s dedication to environmental sustainability is evident in its use of solar panels for electricity, solar hot water systems, waste sorting, and rainwater recycling. This commitment ensures that guests can enjoy modern amenities without compromising the pristine environment around them.

Each tent and chalet offers a unique setting: tents are perched on stilts along the river or mountain, providing breathtaking views, while wooden chalets, made from recycled materials such as wood salvaged from old Creole houses, add an eco-conscious charm. All accommodations include private bathrooms, furnished terraces, and thoughtful details like outdoor dining areas, fans, and laptop safes. These spaces allow guests to experience the simplicity and serenity of nature while enjoying comfort and convenience.

The true spirit of Otentic Eco Tent shines through its dedication to preserving local culture and sharing the authentic Mauritian lifestyle with visitors. The friendly staff, all locals from nearby communities, warmly welcome guests and guide them in exploring the east coast’s natural riches and cultural diversity. The lodgings emphasize conviviality, offering guests a chance to engage with the culinary traditions, religious beliefs, and community life that define Mauritius.

The onsite restaurant overlooks the river and serves daily local specialties prepared with fresh, organic produce grown on-site. From homemade jams and traditional breakfasts featuring seasonal fruits and freshly ground coffee to elaborate dinners with grilled meats, seafood, and a variety of vegetarian options, guests savor an authentic taste of Mauritius. The restaurant’s aim to be self-sufficient in organic vegetables perfectly embodies Otentic’s eco-friendly philosophy.

Beyond dining, Otentic offers diverse nature-related activities such as mountain biking, kayaking, hiking, and massages, delivering both adventure and relaxation. Guests can unwind by the outdoor swimming pool or enjoy scenic terraces and gardens that breathe tranquility. For beach lovers, the lodge provides free daily canoe transfers to nearby pristine islets like Ile aux Cerfs, granting exclusive access to some of Mauritius’s most beautiful white sand beaches.

Otentic Eco Tent also features unique experiences like the River Experience, where guests connect with the slow-paced life along the Grande Rivière Sud-Est, encountering local fishermen and exploring mangroves, and the Mountain Experience, offering a secluded retreat without phone or WiFi signals to facilitate a true digital detox. Both locations are connected by shuttles, ensuring easy access to all activities and the beach.

Located about 40 minutes from Grand Baie, Otentic Eco Tent is perfectly positioned for guests wishing to explore Mauritius’s east coast, renowned for its beautiful beaches and cultural villages. Visitors can enjoy local snacks at village markets or engage in snorkeling, diving, and fishing, enhancing their immersive environment experience.
