Grand Baie Holidays

Holidays to Grand Baie are made up of luxury hotels, bone-white beaches and thatched cocktail hangouts.

Seaside village

You’ll find the seaside village of Grand Baie in Mauritius’ lively north-west. It’s sandwiched between the island’s bustling capital, Port Louis, and the tiny fishing village of Cap Malheureux.

Tourist hot-spot

It’s easy to see why the Dutch nicknamed this part of the world the ‘bay without end’. Sleepy, private beaches skirt the shoreline. Grand Baie’s public beach, meanwhile, is really lively. It’s great for watersports – you’ll spot catamarans and dinghies bobbing in the shallows. Thanks to its good-looking beaches, luxury hotels have popped up along the resort’s coastline.

Exciting nightlife

Grand Baie shifts into top gear at sunset. Amble along the Royal Road and you’ll find a string of nightspots. One of the best is Banana Beach Club. This one comes with an open-air bar, which wraps around one of the native flamboyant trees.
