Situated here is Grand Baie, which has evolved from a sleepy fishing village into a thriving destination with a small town feel. Boasting some of the island’s best nightlife and restaurants, you can feel the bustling energy running throughout. For a little less hustle and bustle look no further than the discreet Rivire du Rempart region, home to isolated coves, luxurious spas and only a handful of high end resorts. It’s fairly easy to see why it’s become an increasingly popular choice for honeymooners and couples.The North Coast possesses many understated gems awaiting visitors who are willing to explore. Heading inland are swathes of sugar-cane fields known as Pamplemousses sloping gently towards the sea. Particular highlights here are the fantastic Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Gardens and the enduringly popular L’Aventure du Sucre, a museum dedicated to Mauritius traditional colonial export. In a nutshell the North Coast has a little bit of everything that one looks for during their stay.
The “beautiful” south is the island’s wilder but perhaps more interesting with its wonderfully dramatic scenery. There are fewer swimming beaches here, and therefore less development with a few clutches of hotels in the southeast and more to be found squeezed onto calm stretches near pounding surf and clifftop walks in the “green” southwest.
For great diving & unforgettable sunsets the West Coast is prime. Mauritius’s west coast has unbeatable beaches ranging from the fine white sands of Trou aux Biches in the far north to the isolated le Morne on the south-west tip of the island.
The resorts on this coast are few and far between and the area is all the better for it with some of the country’s best beaches. Luxury and exclusivity is what springs to mind for those choosing to stay in the area.
