For those more interested in chilling in luxury, and viewing dolphins and other parts of the island go on a catamaran tour with Kata Mambo, also located in Pointe du Bout.
After a fun day at sea one needs sustenance. Close to the marina at Pointe du Bout you'll find the Village Creole consisting of fashion boutiques, restaurants, bars and ice cream parlours. One restaurant in particular has it all, La Pause Cocktail Bar & Tapas Restaurant, situated close to the fountain and decorated in total modern tech under a huge parasol for shade and rain.
Enjoy your stay!
