Public beach and luxury resorts

To the north and south of the public beach, private hotel beaches continue, but you can also swim there - no one guards the entrance from the neighbouring beaches.

In Palmar, stay at these highly rated resorts:

• Crystals Beach Belle Mare Resort ****
• SeaSense Boutique Hotel *****
• Veranda Palmar Beach Hotel ***

Palmar is a very quiet resort away from the hustle and bustle of the north or west coast.

The town of Quatre Cocos has only a few grocery and beach shops, a few small restaurants and a Hindu temple.

How to get there

You can park for free right on the public beach, and there are plenty of free spaces.

Palmar Beach is just off the little-used B59 road.

Bus line 55 also passes by the beach 1-2 times an hour in the direction of Central Flacq.
