For those wishing to explore beyond the lodge, Sainte Marie offers a wonderful variety of activities and experiences. The clear coastal waters and nearby coral gardens provide opportunities for snorkelling and discovering colourful marine life, while boat excursions allow visitors to explore the island’s beautiful coastline. Between approximately June and September, the waters surrounding Sainte Marie become an important breeding ground for humpback whales, making seasonal whale-watching excursions a particularly memorable experience. Guests can also enjoy guided walks through the island’s tropical landscapes, explore traditional fishing villages or discover the island’s fascinating history and local culture. For those preferring a slower pace, the lodge offers yoga, meditation and wellness treatments in its peaceful natural surroundings.
