Grand Baie: The Centre of Mauritius Holidays

02 Oct 2009 by Juliet du Preez

One of the beautiful Northern beaches, Grand Baie is the largest tourist centre in Mauritius. It boasts top hotels, the full range of water sports and all of the shops and activities visitors may desire.

The beaches lie in a large bay which protects them from wind and waves. Here you will find exquisite diving opportunities, exhilarating waterskiing, exciting undersea excursions, peaceful swimming and more. Outside of the bay lie the deep-sea fishing adventures. Take a boat trip and enjoy the view of the luscious coastline or a helicopter ride to see the wider area. This is the yachting centre of Mauritius where you can even obtain temporary membership to the club.

There are accommodation options for all holidaymaker preferences and plenty of service providers to cater for activities and adventures. Tour operators can also arrange trips to other areas of Mauritius or visits to the offshore islands and anything you would like.

This is a bustling area with shops selling authentic Mauritian wares, excellent restaurants for local cuisine and the freshest of seafood as well as a host of bars and nightclubs which keep the resort alive until the early morning hours.

You will also find doctors, dentists, hairdressers, banks, a post office, supermarkets and all you may require to make your stay comfortable.

Popular for businessmen, families and romantic getaways, Grand Baie provides everything the visitor could wish for.
