Tucked along the island’s north-western coast, Grand Baie curves gracefully around a sheltered, horseshoe-shaped bay — its waters calm and turquoise, protected by a fringe of living coral. Once a quiet fishing village where wooden pirogues bobbed gently in the lagoon, Grand Baie has blossomed into one of Mauritius’ most beloved destinations — a place where laid-back island charm meets cosmopolitan energy.
By day, the bay glitters with life. Catamarans drift out toward the outer reefs, windsurfers trace white lines across the lagoon, and snorkellers discover a kaleidoscope of marine colour just beneath the surface. Along the coastal road, palm trees shade open-front cafés, chic boutiques and duty-free shops — perfect for a lazy afternoon of strolling and shopping.
As the sun dips low, Grand Baie’s pulse changes. Fairy lights flicker on, music spills into the warm night air, and restaurants and beach bars come alive with conversation and dancing. Whether you’re sipping a local rum cocktail by the water’s edge or exploring the lively nightlife, there’s a sense of celebration woven into every evening here.
Just 25 kilometres from the capital, Port Louis, Grand Baie makes an ideal base for exploring Mauritius’ northern coast — from nearby islands and nature parks to colourful Creole villages and hidden coves. Accommodation ranges from stylish boutique hotels to self-catering villas, offering something for couples, families and friends alike.
The best time to visit is between May and December, when the skies are clear and the sea is irresistibly warm. And while the main beach hums with activity, those craving a quieter swim will find plenty of smaller, more secluded spots just beyond the bay.
Grand Baie isn’t just a destination — it’s an experience of Mauritius in full colour: relaxed, sun-kissed, and joyously alive.
