The north of the island is the most popular tourist destination, with some of the most magnificent beaches in the world, including Mont Choisy, Grand Bay, Pereybere, and Cap Malheureux. Grand Bay, the prestigious city of the North, is a coastal destination with an alluring beauty where dozens of sailboats lie. Its year-round summer temperature, very low rainfall, and the blue of its sea blending with the sky transform this former fishing village into a small buzzing city making it worth a visit.
A city in perpetual motion
Grand Bay is well known among island foodies for its great restaurants serving fine and varied cuisine, gourmet pastries, nice cafés, but also for its must-have street food with many cultural influences.
The region is unquestionably the most festive of the island, offering varied entertainment with casinos, nightclubs, charming pubs and bars frequently welcoming live bands and local and international DJs.
Shopaholics will enjoy the luxury and duty-free boutiques or the locally-made souvenirs proudly presented along the pavements or in shopping malls such as “Sunset Boulevard,” “Grand-Baie La Croisette,” and the “Bazar de Grand-Baie”.
When you reach this area, the first thing that captivates you is the sea with its different shades of turquoise: infinite, sparkling, majestic. This unreal postcard view, authentic in Mauritius, is home to many nautical activities for all sea lovers: game fishing for big sea fishing fans, water skiing, speedboat rides, kayaking or stand-up paddle. To discover the rich seabed, you can choose from scuba diving in one of many sites, snorkelling, diving in a submarine or semi-submersible or underwater walk.
Offshore, you can see the imposing “Coin de Mire”, which is eight kilometres away from the coast and, further up, “Flat Island” and “Gabriel Island”. To discover these iconic islets in the north of the island, opt for a catamaran yacht cruise from the ‘’Sunset Boulevard’’, where you can enjoy a picnic, sunbathing on white sandy beaches, swimming in the clear waters and ‘Robinson Crusoeing’ in a heavenly and unique decor. The stunning beauty of Mauritius can also be admired from above by a helicopter or seaplane flight!
