Welcome to Escale Vacances
Nestled in the valley of the river Cascade Pigeon, between the green hills of Creve Coeur and Montagne Fanal, our guesthouse is surrounded by a flowering garden with endemic trees and adorned by a swimming pool.
In this calm and peaceful region, we offer to our guests 23 air-conditioned rooms with adjoining bath rooms; all of them nicely furnished in cane and wood “island style and containing all the amenities.
Our small restaurant with adjoining bar, where we offer Rodriguan, Chinese and international cuisine, enjoys a good reputation throughout the island.
The warm hospitality and homely atmosphere of Escale Vacances recreate the peace and tranquillity of times gone by.
Our guesthouse is located within walking distance of Port-Mathurin the capital of Rodrigues. In the close-by hills and by the riverside, the unique Golden Rodriguan Fruit Bats can be observed at night, circling the starry skies.
