Grand Baie

This stretch of shoreline, known as Grand Baie or Grand Bay, gets its name from a local settlement in the Rivière du Rempart district of northern Mauritius. This part of the island was under Dutch control in the seventeenth century and was known as De Bogt Zonder Eyndt, or The Endless Bay. And you'll understand why as you go along Grand Baie Beach. Once you arrive, it's easy to see why it's home to Mauritius' largest resort.

Grand Baie's fame stems from its stunningly clear waters and vibrant surrounding villages. It also has a plethora of water sports facilities, such as sailing, swimming, windsurfing, water skiing, and much more. Grand Baie is ideal for the entire family, with excellent amenities for people of all ages and abilities. As you wander along the beach towards one of the many bars or restaurants, take in the never-ending white, sandy coastline. If you go a little deeper into town, you'll find amazing clothes, jewelry, and textile stores that will meet all of your shopping demands.
