Search hotels in Grand-Baie

Grand Baie is a fabulous area of Mauritius on the North coast of the island. Beach is beautiful, lots of street food, bars, restaurants to choose from. Supermarkets, shops and malls all a short walking distance. Plenty of day trips such as catamaran trips, glass bottom boats that leave from Grand Baie and if you fancy a little bit of extreme adventure then 20 mins away you can go sky diving and experience something out of this world with beautiful views of the island

Grand Baie is beautiful, so easy to get to shops, restuarants and beaches. Very busy though, and drivers tend to speed on the roads, and there is almost no pavement for walking in many places so please be carefil when walking along the road. Beaches are truly beautiful. We were able to easily get to restaurants and the food was really great -Toparadis served great food and we got our food very quickly, the cocktails here were very good; the most amazing food was at Ocean V, Rooftop restaurant, the staff were amazing, friendly and so welcoming and the view was unlike any other I had seen in Mauritius. You can also try the street food, it really is so safe and good. We took a boat cruise from Grand Baie to Gabrielle island and it was amazing, though not for the sensitive, as boat tends to rock quite a bit when the wind picks up- saw lots of flying fish and dolphins! Overall we had an amazing boat cruise on the Coral Princess with superb hosts, Kevin, Pascal, Carelle etc. Lunch was served on the boat when we got back. Lots of taxis and buses, though not so much on weekday nights, and lots during Thursday to Sunday day and nights. I suggest using cash at the little stores if possible as there seemed to be a connectivity problem at at least 2 stores where I was charged for the purchase but they said the txn did not go through, and at one shop the lady was quite rude -keep your purchase slips as proof, or take a pic of the "card not supported message". Be prepared for the price of items to be increased the moment you speak another language (other than creole). Always negotiate at the markets!

Beautiful area with a lot to do. Many local shops around, with the Super U Mall within walking distance. The roads are very narrow with hardly any space for pedestrians to walk. Renting of cars is impossible if planning a spontaneous trip, but there are local shops renting out bicycles and scooters.

Grand Baie has plenty of good restaurants, La Kaza was our favorite, especially for sea food. There are numerous shops in the area including a large mall and supermarket. The beach was lovely flat white sands and the water was calm. There were no stones or pebbles getting into the water, so no need for water shoes. The pavements were narrow or non-existent and difficult to walk on in numerous places and the road traffic was busy at times. This was the main roads, not the side streets. The harbour area was lovely with a few small bar, restaurants and nice shops. Grand Baie was a lovely place but looked a little run down and could do with a little investment and painting.

Great to have fabulous hotel and gorgeous beach right near a buzzing town, shops, other restaurants and beach bars. Hotel is very peaceful despite great facilities on doorstep. Easy to rent a car to explore the rest of the island

Amazing apartment and location. A great restaurant next door offering excellent cuisine for breakfast and lunch. Being vegetarians, we still had great choice and really good food. A large supermarket and mall was 2-5mins walk away, and provided an amazing selection for self-catering and other beach attire, equipment etc. Lovely shopping village area with exclusive shops with luxury goods. A great holiday location and a wonderful experience.
