Macondé Viewpoint

South WestDiscoverHideaways

A dramatic viewpoint where mountains meet the sea on a winding coastal road.

Macondé is one of the most spectacular viewpoints in Mauritius, offering panoramic views of the dramatic coastline where the mountains plunge into the sea. Located on the scenic coastal road between Le Morne and Baie du Cap, this viewpoint is a favorite stop for photographers and nature lovers. The area showcases the raw beauty of Mauritius's southern coast, with its rugged cliffs and powerful ocean swells. Maconde Viewpoint offers one of the most dramatic panoramas in Mauritius, where the rugged Savanne mountains plunge dramatically into the Indian Ocean. This scenic lookout point is located along the coastal road in the south of the island. The viewpoint provides breathtaking vistas of the wild southern coastline, with its dramatic cliffs, crashing waves, and untamed natural beauty. On clear days, you can see for miles along the coast. Unlike the calm lagoons of the north and west, this part of Mauritius showcases the island's raw, untouched beauty - a stark contrast that makes for incredible photographs.
