Welcome! The space An hour and fifteen minutes by plane from the main island of Mauritius and 15 minutes from the airport by car, Koraya Lodge offers intimate accommodation in three separate buildings - two bungalows and a villa. They are all offered in traditional colonial style. Our bungalow is 50 square meters and offers independent and intimate accommodation. The ground floor consists of a bedroom with a double bed, shower and toilet, and a common space- kitchen/dining/living room that opens onto a veranda overlooking the lagoon. The other double bed is placed on a mezzanine that overlooks the common room. The mezzanine is accessed by climbing an alternate tread wooden staircase. The bungalow is furnished in a traditional and island style, combining the charm of living in a veranda and a simple luxury, adapted to Rodrigues Island. Built in a garden of endemic trees and shrubs, Koraya Lodge shows its back to ancient quarries of calcarenite, while gazing at a panoramic view of the lagoon and its numerous islets. The lagoon is a stone cast away. Even though you can swim in it, there is no sandy beach in front of the Koraya Lodge. This is because the lodge is located on calcarenite, as is the case for much of the coast of Rodrigues marked by astonishing sandstones formed by the consolidation of limestone sand.
