Grand Baie, île Maurice : le guide complet du quartier
Grand Baie est le hub touristique du nord de l'île Maurice — mais deux rues derrière l'artère principale, c'est encore un village de pêcheurs. Où dormir, se baigner, manger, et comment y aller sans voiture.
Where to stay
Skip the big resorts and stay in a garden guesthouse like La Case Bambou — five minutes' walk from La Cuvette beach, Creole breakfast included, and hosts who plan your whole itinerary.
The beaches, ranked
La Cuvette (small, sheltered, locals' favorite) beats the main public beach for swimming. Trou aux Biches, 15 minutes south, has the best sunset snorkeling in the north.
Getting there from the airport
SSR Airport to Grand Baie is about 70 km — 75–90 minutes by taxi. Book a fixed-price transfer in advance rather than negotiating at arrivals.
