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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>A city in perpetual motion<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-villavie-blue-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">You will never get bored!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Grand Bay is well known among island foodies for its great restaurants serving fine and varied cuisine, gourmet pastries, nice caf\u00e9s, but also for its must-have street food with many cultural influences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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 &#8220;Sunset Boulevard,&#8221; &#8220;Grand-Baie La Croisette,&#8221; and the &#8220;Bazar de Grand-Baie&#8221;.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-villavie-blue-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">A must-see coastal city<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.villa-vie.com\/en\/discover-the-authenticity-of-mauritius\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mauritius<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Offshore, you can see the imposing &#8220;Coin de Mire&#8221;, which is eight kilometres away from the coast and, further up, &#8220;Flat Island&#8221; and &#8220;Gabriel Island&#8221;. To discover these iconic islets in the north of the island, opt for a catamaran yacht cruise from the \u2018\u2019Sunset Boulevard\u2019\u2019, where you can enjoy a picnic, sunbathing on white sandy beaches, swimming in the clear waters&nbsp; and \u2018Robinson Crusoeing\u2019 in a heavenly and unique decor. The stunning beauty of Mauritius can also be admired from above by a helicopter or seaplane flight!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The flagship city of the North    The north of the island is the most popular tourist destination, with some of the most magnificent beaches in the world, including Mont Choisy, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":32889,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[131],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32898","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-discover-mauritius"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 -
