A private garden at the edge of a preserved forest · Mauritius

Life in Every Corner

An event space, a garden, a forest and a greenhouse. Every plant in our garden is now one you can take home: buy one, gift one, join the club, or let us plant a forest for you.

About RMS

A space that exudes life in every corner

Reserv Mon Songes blends nature, design and experience. Access is by invitation and authorisation only, so every gathering stays small enough for the land to stay wild. Ferns soften the woodland, heliconias and gingers layer colour beneath the canopy, and palms give the garden its height.

Gather

The event space

Open lawns under the palms for up to 50 guests, or more.

Protect

The forest

A preserved woodland we protect, walk and replant.

Wander

The garden

Our resident plants, layered from canopy to ground.

Grow

The greenhouse

Where we grow the plants and kits you can take home.

Our promise

Leave only footprints

Every event helps protect the land, its biodiversity and its waters.
