Dog-Friendly & Pet-Friendly Hotels in Rodrigues Island

Often called the "anti-stress" island, Rodrigues is a quieter, more rugged sibling to mainland Mauritius. The main draw is its dramatic, unspoiled coastline and the genuine pace of local life. Visitors spend their days hiking the cliffside trails of Graviers to spot seabirds, snorkeling in the clear lagoon at Trou d'Argent, or simply watching the traditional pirogue fishing boats come in at Port Mathurin's market. It’s a place for disconnecting and engaging with raw nature.

The island is ideal for adventurous couples, solo travellers seeking solitude, and families looking for a simple, outdoor-focused holiday. Most visitors stay in the central area around Port Mathurin for convenience or along the southern coast near François Leguat Giant Tortoise and Cave Reserve for proximity to beaches. Getting around requires a rental car or scooter, as the single airport receives only small inter-island flights from Mauritius.

Accommodation here is mostly small, owner-run guesthouses and a handful of charming eco-lodges. On HOTEVI, you can find places like the relaxed Mourouk Ebony Hotel on a beautiful western beach or the comfortable Chez Bernard et Claudine in the heart of Port Mathurin. It’s less about luxury resorts and more about authentic, personal hospitality.
