A Unique Eco-Stay in Mauritius Otentic Eco Tent

Otentic Eco Tent is a riverside glamping stay in Deux Frères, on Mauritius’s east coast, beside the Grande Rivière Sud-Est. Expect canvas accommodation, shared moments and outdoor activities rather than a conventional beach resort. It can suit travellers who enjoy a relaxed setting and spending time outside.

Use this guide to compare the setting, tent facilities and booking inclusions. Confirm your dates and any particular requirements directly with the property.

Sleep under canvas

The official accommodation page describes safari tents for up to four guests, with a king-size bed, two single beds, a private bathroom and a terrace. Fans, large openings and mosquito nets are listed for comfort. This is accommodation designed around life outdoors; check the current setup if you have specific temperature, mobility or accessibility needs.

See Otentic’s current tent details before choosing your stay. Ask which tent will be assigned, how it is reached and whether it suits your party.

River adventures and a lighter footprint

Kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding are central to the river experience. The property also lists bicycles and on-site games. Lagoon outings and other experiences should be checked separately: weather, equipment, supervision and availability can affect what is offered. Ask staff about the appropriate route and conditions before heading out on the water.

On its Green Touch page, Otentic describes solar panels and solar water heating, rainwater collection, reused materials and an on-site vegetable garden. These are the operator’s stated practices, rather than an independent environmental certification.

Browse the official experiences page for the current selection and ask which outings require advance arrangements or an extra payment.

Homemade meals and unhurried evenings

Otentic describes a home-style kitchen using local and seasonal ingredients, with vegetarian choices. Tell the team about allergies and dietary requirements before arrival rather than assuming every need can be met on the day.

Breakfast is listed among the stay inclusions; adult and children’s meals at lunch or dinner are listed as extras. The site also offers a self-service bar. Alcohol is charged separately, while the non-alcoholic drink inclusion has a daily meal condition. Ask for a written breakdown of your chosen arrangement.

The property lists Wi-Fi in the main area near the pool and describes an evening digital-detox period from 7:30 pm to 9:30 pm. If internet access is essential, confirm the current arrangements first.
