Grand Baie
Sheltered bay with an emerald lagoon, powder-white beaches, and the liveliest resort town on the island with vibrant nightlife and water sports.
About Grand Baie
Grand Baie is the north’s buzziest resort town — a sheltered bay with calm swimming, beach bars, boutiques and the island’s best nightlife, plus departure points for catamaran trips to the northern islets.
It makes an easy half-day or a base for a North tour taking in Cap Malheureux, Pamplemousses Garden and the Port Louis market.
Best time to visit: Late afternoon for the sunset and the lively evening scene.
- Great launch point for catamaran cruises to Coin de Mire and Île Gabriel.
