If you have a picture in mind of what Paradise looks like – erase it! Hotel La Petite Traversee is an exotic beach lodge located in what many guests have described as “the most beautiful place on earth”.
Hotel La Petite Traversee is situated on Ile Aux Nattes, a beautiful little island off the southern tip of Ile Sainte Marie and is separated from the latter by a narrow channel crossed by pirogue. With its crystal clear waters and soft white sand, the island is an absolute paradise of tranquillity. The hotel serves a Malagasy/South African menu and offers a well stocked local and international bar. The spotless en-suite bungalows are typical Malagasy “island-style” and are luxurious with imported South African mattresses etc yet, extremely affordable. Your host, Okkie, will make sure you get a good farm house English breakfast to start your day. Depending on Okkie’s supply you may even enjoy some Boerewors sausage with your breakfast ! Your host has his own South African built deep sea fishing boat and would love to take you out into the deep blue fishing grounds. Over night fishing trips are also offered by prior arrangement. No roads, no cars, total peace & tranquillity on a laid back Paradise island – what more could you ask for?
The main island of St Marie’s vegetation, is characterized by the many orchids, mango trees, strongly fragranced badamiers and deserted pristine beaches overhung by coconut palms, conjuring images of the Garden of Eden. Relax and enjoy the tranquillity of the island, sight-see, swim, snorkel, or visit the world’s only Pirate Cemetery. Divers can explore the eight wrecks which surround St Marie or one can sit and watch the whales which make their way to St Marie during July and September to mate and calf.

This island is beautiful, offering the ultimate escape from civilisation. The hotels along its coast range from basic to classy establishments with all necessary modern facilities. The lush surroundings bring to mind images of an enormous tropical garden. It’s ideal for honeymoon couples or anybody with a romantic flair. Ile Sainte Marie boasts numerous white sandy beaches and secluded coves, fringed with coconut palms. The coral reefs offshore offer excellent snorkelling and scuba diving. In August and September, hump-backed and other types of whales migrate here and are a huge attraction. The roads beckon mountain bikers and most hotels hire bicycles and snorkelling gear

The room has been decorated to create a cocoon ambiance for people who like romance.The curtain drop and the silk cushions obviously enhance the romantic atmosphere. The furniture which is of precious wood and the mirrors on both sides of the bed will amaze you by its style. The Indian style hanging lamp in the room also adds exoticism to the room. The crafts that have been used add details to the rooms and remind people that it is sometimes the little details that make big difference. In fact this room blend elegance, style and atmosphere to create the best romantic set up.

A string of pearls scattered over the deep blue Indian Ocean – The first glimpse you get of this fascinating atoll- formation confirms two unique aspects of the Republic of Maldives.Not only does it consist of the most beautiful tropical islands, but 99% of its 90.000 km² is covered by the sea. 1190 islands are spread over 26 atolls, ringlike coral formations enclosing a lagoon, which gives the Maldives its unique paradise-like appearance. They stretch for about 820 km from North to South, 130 km at the widest point and do not exceed a length of 4.5 miles or an altitude of 6 feet above sea level. No more than 200 islands are inhabited, the rest includes the 87 tourist resorts and uninhabited islands, some of which are used for drying fish or other agricultural activities. The capital Malé, the seat of government and the centre of trade, commerce, business, health and education, is located in the middle of the atoll chain, a small island buzzing with the sounds and activities of about 75.000 people which is about one third of the population.
Southwest of Sri Lanka, on the equator
1,190 coral islands, forming an archipelago of 26 major atolls. Stretches 820 kilometres north to south and 120 kilometres east to west. 202 are inhabited, 87 are exclusive resort islands.
Generally warm and humid. Sun shines all year through. Average temperature around 29 – 32 degrees Celsius.
A proud history and rich culture evolved from the first settlers who were from various parts of the world travelling the seas in ancient times. The Maldives has been a melting pot of different cultures as people from different parts of the world came here and settled down. Some of the local music and dance for instance resemble African influences, with handbeating of drums and songs in a language that is not known to any but certainly represents that of East African countries. As one would expect there is a great South Asian influence in some of the music and dancing and especially in the traditional food of the Maldivians. However many of the South Asian customs especially with regard to women – for instance the Sub Continent’s tradition of secluding women from public view – are not tenets of life here. In fact women play a major role in society – not surprising considering the fact men spend the whole day out at sea fishing. Many of the traditions are strongly related to the seas and the fact that life is dependent on the seas around us.
The Maldivian currency is the Rufiyaa and Laaree.
The US Dollar is the most commonly used foreign currency. Payments in the resorts and hotels can be made in most hard currency in cash, travellers’ cheques or credit cards. Commonly used credit cards are American Express, Visa, Master Card, Diners Club, JCB and Euro Card.
