Bakwa lodge is a little gem on beautiful Rodrigues island. Such a quiet and wonderful location, with the (usually empty) beach in front, surrounded by nature, but still in walking distance of a shop and a few eating places. The staff is lovely and very helpful. They organized a scooter to rent, and this was (for me) the perfect way to discover all corners of the island. It‘s also located at the start of the Mourouk-Pt.Coton hike, which is amazing. The semi-attached bungalows are beautifully decorated, nicely made, with outdoor shower (GREAT), a comfy bed, and really all you need also for a longer stay. I definitely recommend this „Bijou“ of place when being on Rodrigues island.

Bakwa Lodge in Rodrigues exceeded all my expectations! The attention to detail was impeccable, with an eco-friendly vibe that truly stood out. I appreciated the thoughtful touches, like the bag provided for picking up litter on the beach and the emphasis on conserving water and energy by using minimal lighting. While the WiFi was only available in the main area and there was no TV, this allowed for a full recharge and reset. However, what truly made my stay incredible was the staff—they were incredibly welcoming, friendly, kind, and caring. This place was everything I could have asked for!

Very quiet and relaxed atmosphere with just eight units and the central building with restaurant, bar, lounge and boutique. Every day excellent breakfast and two options for dinner as well as a vegetarian option.Very charming and helpful host (Jean) and team (thanks especially to Nathalie for all her smiles). Tastefully furnished bungalows within a manicured garden landscape. Fantastic beach just some steps away, shared with some other guests and some skillfull kitesurfers in the blue lagoon only.

During the first evening we had to throw some six legged friends our daughter ist not very fond of out of the bungalow. No company of that kind during the rest of o ur stay...;-).

Beach is superb. Simplicity and style of lodge is very attractive. Excellent friendly staff who really made us feel at home

I am aware water is an issue. But we were drinking so much bottled water, I felt bad. All that plastic! Don't know if there is an alternative?
