The Ile aux Bénitiers is one of the coast's largest district in the country Black River upstream island in the southwest of Mauritius .
The island, formed from coral sand, is two kilometers long in north-south expansion, a maximum of 500 meters wide, has a size of 65 hectares and is located about 500 meters off the coast of La Gaulette a few kilometers north of the Morne Brabant peninsula .
A luxury hotel project is planned on the previously uninhabited island, which, like other tourist businesses in the area, will take advantage of the relative lack of rainfall in the south-west of Mauritius.
