Luxury villas for rent in Grand Baie
The north of Mauritius is the island's liveliest and sunniest region, with turquoise lagoons, white-sand beaches and spectacular sunsets. Grand Baie, also known as Grand Bay, is its vibrant heart. Its sheltered bay is lined with restaurants, shops and bars, and most boat trips leave from here. Next door, Pereybère charms visitors with its public beach and calm, crystal-clear waters, perfect for swimming and snorkelling. From here, Cap Malheureux, Trou aux Biches and the northern islets such as Coin de Mire are easy to reach. Livelier than the east and more convenient day to day, the north is ideal for a self-catering villa or apartment holiday, with everything close at hand.
