They take the use
of the word 'oasis' seriously here and these luxurious villas are a steal if you're travelling
with family or friends. Trendy Asian-inspired decor permeates the lavish open-air floor-
plans. Security is tight, privacy is held sacred and there's a real sense of being a VIP. The
only downside is that you'll need a private vehicle to get to the beach.

Eating & Drinking
Like in Grand Baie, most of Pereybère's restaurants also double as good places for a
drink, though the neighbourhood is generally much quieter. There are still some top spots
amid the frenzy of ever-growing eating options.
Caféteria Pereybère
( 263 8539; Royal Rd; mains Rs 135-275; 10.30am-10pm)
This friendly all-day, no-frills cafe-res-
taurant behind the public beach offers grilled fish, curries, and steak and chips from an ex-

sauce or
phad thai
(mixed fried noodles).
Sea Lovers Restaurant
( 263 6299; Royal Rd; mains Rs 395-825; noon-2.30pm & 6-9pm)
This is, without a doubt, the
smartest restaurant setting in the area. There's a gorgeous terrace built right into the sand
and the furniture is unquestionably stylish. The service, however, can be a bit lacking and
