The 5-star JW Marriott Mauritius Resort in the south-west of the island offers a new and unique experience: the “Guided Le Morne Semi-Hike” to discover the majestic Mount Le Morne Brabant, listed by UNESCO for world heritage.
With an altitude of 556 meters, Morne Brabant is not only a geological wonder, but also a symbol of the fight against slavery and the fight for freedom. In the early 19th century, the mountain became a refuge for runaway slaves due to its isolation, dense forests and nearly inaccessible cliffs. Today it serves as a powerful reminder of the resilience of the human spirit and the island’s complex past.
