Discover Bassin Blanc in Mauritius, a peaceful volcanic crater lake in the Savanne District known for nature views, quiet scenery and off-the-beaten-path discovery.
Bassin Blanc is one of the quieter natural places to visit in southern Mauritius, located in the Savanne District near the island’s green highland landscapes. Known as a volcanic crater lake, it offers a calm and scenic setting away from the busy beaches, resorts and more popular tourist attractions. This peaceful nature spot is ideal for repeat travellers, photographers and visitors who enjoy discovering hidden places in Mauritius. Surrounded by greenery and a quiet inland atmosphere, Bassin Blanc is best suited for a short scenic stop, nature photography or a slower road trip through the south. It is a good place to experience a different side of Mauritius — more natural, more local and far less crowded than the classic coastal highlights.
