Grand Baie Holidays
The tourism capital of Mauritius, we love Grand Baie for its splendid array of activities available. With lively nightlife, spectacular restaurants, a bustling shopping bazaar, a natural horseshoe-shaped harbour for swimming, sailing, and windsurfing – Grand Baie epitomises fun in the sun. Head out for a night on the town in the bars of Grand Baie—there are more independently owned ones here than any other resort in Mauritius.
Head to the beach and find lovely stretches of powdered white sand and clear turquoise waters set against a backdrop of towering palm trees, perfect for a swim. For a break from the beach and a dip into culture, explore the spectacular Tamil Temple. This temple is marvellously evocative, with deep colours and detailed imagery of the Hindu Gods and the stories attached to them.

While Grand Baie has a pretty beach, there are nicer beaches in the areas immediately east and west of here. For excellent swimming, head to the beaches of Pereybere, Mont Choisy, and Trou aux Biches. Here you will find lovely stretches of powdery white sand and clear turquoise waters set against a backdrop of towering palm trees and a shaded wooded area.
