Overview
Elegant beach-front villa. Exclusive, Intimate. Great beach, private pool
Located on the wild and unspoilt south coast of Mauritius, the villa Riambelle will interest those looking for authentic Mauritius and a true contact with its inhabitants.
The elegant villa offers 320 square meters of living space and is situated in a beautiful mature tropical garden of 2,400 square meters which extends onto a sheltered beach with casuarinas as the beaches of Mauritius of yore.
Designed by a leading architect, building works completed in May 2009 and completely renovated in 2015, Villa Riambelle is dressed with hand-cut basalt stones recuperated from an ancient colonial home. The villa is a showcase of modern architecture allied to traditional materials. The furniture is all of prime teak wood and the structure is in balau, two of the noblest of woods.
The villa is very elegant, discreetly luxurious
The 2,400 m2 of garden with its secular tropical trees lead directly to a magnificent beach of granular golden coral sand and which extends for kilometers.
The 320 m2 of living space, the refinement of the furniture, the 30 square meter kitchen with its professional equipment, the superb 70 m2 Annex and the excellent staff guaranty the excellence of the residence.
The staff comprises a cook, a professional house-keeper, a laundress and a caretaker/concierge.
The secured swimming pool with salt treatment, heated in winter, completes the comfort of the villa and adds to the pleasure of swimming in the lagoon.
The villa is 4 kilometers away from the Shanti Maurice (5-star hotel-spa), 8 kilometers from the Sofitel So Mauritius, 12 kilometers from the 4 prestigious hotels of Bel Ombre and from the C-Beach Club, a nautical center unique of its kind in Mauritius.
The Chateau de Bel Ombre with its renowned restaurant and its 18-hole Golf Course, which rates among the best on the island, is also 12 kilometers away.
Further, 25 kilometers away, the Morne Brabant peninsula with its numerous hotels, the five-star 18-hole golf course of the hotel Paradis and the world-renowned One-Eye Kite-Surf spot.
Though situated in the proximity of these hotels and tourist attractions Villa Riambelle is away from mass tourism and the associated infrastructure.
The villa has 4 bedrooms with spacious en-suite bathrooms, a secured swimming pool with salt treatment heated in winter and an annex of 70 square meters housing a studio with en-suite bathroom..
About FRANCIS MASSON
I am a retired Managing Director. My ancestor on the side of my father landed on the island in 1762 and, on my mother's side, I am the eldest of the descendants of the English officer who conquered the island in 1810 from the French. I own 2 holiday villas in Mauritius I occupy my time renting them to holidaymakers. I also manage the rental of several villas belonging to our family and to close friends. This occupation keeps me active and allows me to socialize with tenants worldwide. I am the proud father of four daughters and the eldest is the one who is with me on my presentation photo. I look forward to the pleasure of welcoming you in Mauritius. See you soon! Francis Masson.

*****Perfect Family Holiday - Wonderful staff
We spent 1-week at the Villa with 4-children and we loved every minute ! The team including Stephanie & Nauswad look after us all the time and we enjoyed the delicious Mauritian food which Stephanie prepared each day ! The pool was immaculate and the Villa was cleaned each day to 5 ***** Standard. Francis, the charming, owner came twice to ensure that we are well looked after and provided us with invaluable suggestions what to do and where to eat out! We can highly recommend the Indian Restaurant just around the corner of the Villa. We can't wait to return. Merci beaucoup Francis & Team !!!
Images Photoshopées, maison sale, grosse deception
Description trompeuse et photos embellies. La pelouse n’est pas aussi verte, ni le jardin aussi fleuri, ni les murs aussi blancs, ni la deco aussi soignée, ni….. Bref, utilisez Photoshop, et vous ferez de votre banale maison « une villa de luxe, élégante et raffinée » qui donne absolument envie de visiter. (preuve: regardez la photo N°16, avant qu’on l’enlève, il y a de la couleur verte aussi sur le sol, et pas que sur les palmiers).
-C’est une maison spacieuse, de construction solide mais aux finitions basiques: ciment au sol dans un des placards, clôture en palissades en bois peu esthétiques avec des barbelés électriques (ça craint un peu des fois dans le quartier on nous a dit), linge de toilette vielleux, etc...Elle peut absolument convenir à son propriétaire pour passer un w/e mais elle n’a dans l’absolu aucun caché de « villa de luxe ».
-Sale! (poussière et insects morts sous les meubles (chevets de nuits, canapés..). Des cafards morts dans les chambres (4 en 10 jours).. »ne vous inquiétez pas » nous disait la femme de ménage, ils sont morts…(oui, d'accord, mais qd même ça ne fait pas ni propre ni « luxe »).
-La plage est publique et il y a des chiens errands, (qui d’ailleurs aboient pas mal la nuit, super pour la tranquillité) et quelques locaux. Ce n’est pas la jolie plage au sable blanc et eau turquoise, discrete et intime comme sur les photos qui donne envie de se baigner en famille, au contraire, un de nos enfants a trouvé un crâne de chien dans l’eau. Depuis, on prenait la voiture et on allait ailleurs…. super quand on loue une maison au bord de l’eau au prix d’une maison au bord de l’eau.
-La situation: "le sud c’est authentique," je utiliserai plutôt l’adjectif très local! Ne vous attendez pas au joli village de pêcheurs comme dans les cartes postales.
-Le seul point positif: Ali, l’intendant/concierge qui était d’une sincère gentillesse et qui nous a bien aidé dans tout; vraiment très serviable et cordial. Grace à lui, notre séjour a été un peu moins désagréable.
-Autres avis: Je ne vois pas comment quelqu’un qui a vraiment séjourné dans cette maison peut lui attribuer 5 étoiles… ohhh, ohhh, au moins bien sur qu’ils soient tous faux.. En même temps il n’y a que 9 commentaires, donc c’est toute à fait probable pour ne pas dire sûr!
On n’est pas des gens compliqués, mais seulement si on loue un villa « de luxe, élégante et de prestige » on s’attend justement à ça et pas à une maison secondaire portrait comme un bijoux
Le Paradis à Riambelle .....
Magnifique maison en bord de plage, jardin très agréable, accueil extraordinaire de Francis Masson , personnel très sympathique et particulièrement serviable. Nous avons passé d'excellentes vacances à Maurice ! à recommander c'est sûr !

Au cœur de maurice
Villa très agréable au cœur du véritable Maurice
Personnels très sympathiques et serviables.
merci Monsieur Masson pour votre accueil
A une prochaine fois !!
Patrick et Valerie.
Superbes vacances détentes
1 semaine de vacances comme on aime : choyés dans une villa magnifique ,au calme , accueillis par le propriétaire (un personnage hors pair à rencontrer absolument ) . Un personnel au petit soin (on ne s`attendait pas à autant d`attention) Une villa bien conçue pour recevoir plusieurs personnes (chaque chambre bien indépendante avec salle de bain ET toilettes) Merci à notre amie de nous avoir déniché ce petit coin ...pour changer un peu du nord!
Best place for relaxing at Mauritius
Villa Riambelle is a perfect place to spend beautiful days at the island. We really enjoyed our stay although one week is too short ;-).
There are many options for excursions in the South of Mauritius (le Morne, la Vanilla, St.Aubin,..), some interesting points are close-by the Villa (the Vortex - a healing center for body and mind). We enjoyed kite-surfing at windy days at the C-Beach Club, just 10 minutes to drive.
The team in Riambelle is so cordial and helpful. Marietta is the most wounderful cook you could imagine :-).
Thank you for this splendid time at Villa Riambelle
