St. Aubin House

St. Aubin House is one of the most beautiful historical sites in Mauritius goes back to 1819. It was initially located next to the factory but was relocated in the 1970s to give its owner a more peaceful night's sleep. The estate no longer produces sugar, but there is a historic rum distillery and a nursery cultivating anthurium flowers and vanilla on the house's grounds.

Visitors to this historic 19th-century mansion will get a real experience of colonial life while sipping powerful rum. The plantation, which was built in 1819 from the wood of disassembled ships, is a tribute to a life in Mauritius that no longer exists. The restaurant situated inside the historic mansion serves traditional island food, and guests may spend an evening at the Creole-style Saint Aubin Inn. Relax in the pool, ride a horse around the well-kept gardens, or cycle through the plantation.

Tours of the ancient sugar mill and vanilla house are also offered, allowing visitors to observe how two of America's tastiest treats were prepared in the 1800s. The Artisanal Distillery, where tourists may discover how sugar is turned into smooth sips of light, amber, and black rum, is undoubtedly the most popular stop on a visit to Saint Aubin Sugar Plantation. Lunch at the extremely lovely table d'hôte in the main manor home is the pinnacle of the St Aubin experience. Dainty chandeliers shed ambient light over white tablecloths and old wooden furniture in the dining area, which is one of the loveliest throwbacks to colonial times. Hearts of palm, pineapple, mango, and chili, to mention a few, are among the fruits of the plantation included on the set menu.
