Package holiday to Grand Baie

Grand Baie is the tourist heart of Mauritius and the liveliest holiday resort on the island. The expansive bay in the north, protected by offshore reefs, offers calm, turquoise waters that resemble a natural pool. Once a sleepy fishing village, Grand Baie has developed into a cosmopolitan hub without losing its tropical charm. The mix of beaches, shopping, gastronomy, and nightlife makes it the most versatile holiday destination in Mauritius.

The bay of Grand Baie itself is a popular starting point for boat tours to the northern islands. Catamaran trips to Ile aux Cerfs or Ile Plate with their underwater waterfall phenomenon are among the most popular activities. The sheltered bay provides ideal conditions for water sports - from parasailing to jet skiing to stand-up paddling, everything is possible. Glass-bottom boats showcase the underwater world without getting wet.

The beaches around Grand Baie are among the best on the island. La Cuvette, a small, tree-shaded beach right in the bay, is a hidden gem. Trou aux Biches, just a few minutes south, has been repeatedly voted one of the most beautiful beaches in the world - a long stretch of powdery white sand with crystal-clear water and excellent snorkeling right from the beach. Mont Choisy offers an endless-looking palm-fringed beach that invites jogging and horseback riding.

Grand Baie is also the culinary center of the north. The mix of Creole, Indian, Chinese, and French cuisine that makes Mauritius so unique finds its best expression here. From simple street food stalls with Dholl Puri to Creole restaurants to fine dining establishments with a French touch, there is something for every taste and budget. The nightlife is concentrated on the main street with bars, clubs, and live music.

From Germany, Mauritius can be reached in about eleven flight hours, and the transfer to Grand Baie takes about an hour from the airport in the southeast. The best travel time for the north is from October to April (summer), although Grand Baie, thanks to its sheltered location, is also pleasantly warm and sunny during the Mauritian winter from May to September. Accommodation ranges from budget apartments to world-renowned luxury resorts.

Grand Baie particularly impresses with stunning beaches, excellent cuisine, family-friendly offers, first-class relaxation options. As a package holiday destination, you benefit from attractive all-inclusive packages with flights, hotels, and often transfers – all at a fixed price and fully secured.
