Best hotels in Grand Baie and Pereybère: 8 places around the bay

Grand Baie is where the north comes to eat, drink and set sail for the offshore islets. Pereybère, just up the coast, is the calmer lagoon next door. Between them, and along the quieter western shore of the bay, our list runs from a 5-star Luxury resort and a Relais & Châteaux to small guesthouses, every one scoring 8/10 or more with Agoda guests. Cheapest night at our last check: €70.

Grand Baie is 70-75 km from the airport, which means 1 to 1.5 hours on the road depending on traffic around Port-Louis. Also budget for the tourist tax: €3 per night for every guest aged 12 or over, in force since 1 October 2025.

The independent guide to planning your trip to Reunion Island

We bring together more than 470 partner activities (helicopter, paragliding, hiking, diving, whale-watching cruises, airport transfers...), a wide catalogue of hotels and gîtes, and dozens of practical guides. An independent site run by someone passionate about Reunion Island.

Grand Baie is the lively hub of northern Mauritius. Its horseshoe bay, sheltered by the reef, is lined with bars, restaurants, a bazaar, the La Croisette mall and the jetties where boat trips leave. To the north, Pereybère has a shallow lagoon that's ideal for first-time snorkellers. To the west, Pointe aux Canonniers is residential and much quieter.

Places to stay range from a 116-suite resort to a nine-unit guesthouse. We only kept those rated 8/10 or more by guests and bookable through our partner: eight in all, four of them graded by the Mauritius Tourism Authority ( one 5-star Luxury, one 5-star and two 4-stars ).

The right choice mostly comes down to your evenings. In the village or Pereybère you can walk everywhere. Out at Pointe aux Canonniers you trade the buzz for peace, and you'll rely on taxis or a hire car.

5-star Luxury resort, 116 suites and villas
Grand Baie, on the beach, a 10-15 minute walk from the village
8.9Superb108 reviews
Best for : a new-generation resort with Grand Baie's bars and restaurants close by

Rated 5-star Luxury by the Mauritius Tourism Authority, LUX* Grand Baie opened on 1 November 2021 on the curve of the bay. Its 116 units range from 65 m² beachfront Junior Suites to two-bedroom Pool Residences across the coast road, linked to the resort by a skywalk.

You won't run out of places to eat: Beach Rouge does Italian, Ai KISU does Japanese, and the adults-only Bisou rooftop has a 30-metre infinity pool. The LUX* Me spa covers 1,625 m². There's the PLAY kids' club, a Studio 17 hangout for teens, and an all-inclusive option if you want it.

What stands out
  • Beachfront Junior Suites
  • Adults-only Bisou rooftop with a 30 m pool
  • 1,625 m² spa
  • Clubs for kids and teens

Worth knowing : The coast road runs past the resort: the Pool Residences are on that side, and there's no pavement for the walk into the village. The swimming area out front is small, and some guests mention seaweed.

Seapoint Boutique Hotel

4-star boutique hotel, around twenty rooms and suites
Pointe aux Canonniers, on the water, with a guests-only beach
9.0Exceptional215 reviews
Best for : a quiet couples' stay looking straight out to sea

A small SeaResorts hotel ( the group behind Ocean V ) right on the water along the Pointe aux Canonniers coast road, close to Canonnier beach. It opened in 2015, was refurbished in 2023 and has around twenty rooms and suites plus a villa, with a stretch of beach kept for guests.

Guests must be 12 or over, and the mood is unhurried: a heated infinity pool facing the open sea, a wellness area, the main restaurant and Le Hublot, a beach bar and restaurant with your feet in the sand. Reviewers keep coming back to the staff, who go out of their way for honeymooners.

What stands out
  • On the water, with a guests-only beach
  • Heated infinity pool with sea views
  • Ages 12 and up, calm atmosphere
  • Refurbished in 2023

Worth knowing : It's a residential area with few restaurants within walking distance, so budget for taxis or a car to reach Grand Baie. A few guests found the beach could be better kept.

Pointe Malartic, private beach, about 2 km from the centre
8.7Superb107 reviews
Best for : food lovers and honeymooners after somewhere with character

Formerly Hôtel 20° Sud, this hotel sits in an old coconut plantation at Pointe Malartic, between Grand Baie and Pointe aux Canonniers. It's the only Relais & Châteaux in Mauritius ( a member since 2013 ). Renamed La Maison 20 Degrés Sud, it reopened on 1 September 2025 after renovation, with 36 rooms including six suites and a villa.

Life here revolves around L'Atlas restaurant, two pools heated to 28 °C, the Secret Spa and the Lady Lisbeth, a vintage motor boat that heads out for sunset dinners. Bikes and a shuttle are free. It's geared towards adults.

What stands out
  • The island's only Relais & Châteaux
  • Reopened in September 2025 after renovation
  • Sunset dinner cruises on the Lady Lisbeth
  • Two heated pools and a spa

Worth knowing : Some reviews predate the renovation and mention small bathrooms and patchy service. A nearby nightclub can be heard at weekends.

Pointe aux Canonniers, 2 km from Mont Choisy beach ( shuttle )
8.9Superb54 reviews
Best for : a quiet, low-cost base with a breakfast people rave about

Twenty-four rooms on a quiet street in Pointe aux Canonniers, 2.5 km from Grand Baie village. There's no sea view or beach at the end of the garden, but there is a pool ringed with loungers and a daily shuttle to Mont Choisy beach, 2 km away. The bars and restaurants of Grand Baie village are a short taxi ride off.

Breakfast is included on some rates ( check yours ) and it's what guests rave about: pastries, fruit, and omelettes and pancakes cooked to order. People also praise the housekeeping and how helpful the staff are. You can rent a car on site.

What stands out
  • Breakfast cooked to order
  • Daily shuttle to Mont Choisy beach
  • Quiet neighbourhood
  • Car rental on site

Worth knowing : Pointe aux Canonniers beach is about a ten-minute walk, but for Mont Choisy or the village you'll need the shuttle, a taxi or a car.

Veranda Grand Baie

4-star all-inclusive hotel, 95 rooms

8.3Very good143 reviews
Best for : families who want all-inclusive and the village on foot

A 95-room 4-star built around all-inclusive stays, on the bay and about ten minutes' walk from the village bars, restaurants and shops. It's a handy base for enjoying Grand Baie without a car.

There's a buffet at Le Food Comptoir, seafood at the Lazy Lobster, two bars ( La Varangue and La Crique ), a 25-metre pool with a separate one for toddlers, and a Seven Colours Spa. The Timomo club takes 3 to 11-year-olds, paddleboards and kayaks are free to borrow, and some units have a small kitchen, which helps with children.

What stands out
  • All-inclusive
  • Kids' club for ages 3 to 11
  • Walk into Grand Baie village
  • Free paddleboards and kayaks

Worth knowing : The hotel beach is small ( some guests head to the public beach instead ), the dinner buffet gets repetitive, and the nightclub next door can be heard on some evenings.

Pointe aux Canonniers, 700 m from Pointe aux Canonniers beach
9.7Exceptional28 reviews
Best for : longer, self-catering stays somewhere small and personal

Six studios, two suites and a villa set around a pool in a tropical garden, on a residential street in Pointe aux Canonniers. Open since 2018, it's run by its owner, Anja, who gets a mention in review after review for her welcome.

Every unit has a kitchenette, which makes longer stays easy, and you can book the home-made brunch or a Mauritian table d'hôte dinner. Pointe aux Canonniers beach is 700 metres away, and Mont Choisy and La Croisette are five minutes by car.

What stands out
  • Just nine units, all with kitchenettes
  • A personal welcome from the owner
  • Home-made brunch and table d'hôte
  • Pool in a tropical garden

Worth knowing : Still few reviews. Grand Baie is about a 20-minute walk, the beach isn't on the doorstep and some units have dated furniture.

Best for : couples who want Pereybère on foot and a rooftop at sunset

An art hotel opened by SeaResorts in November 2019, where the Royal Road meets Old Mill Road in Pereybère. It's for over-16s only, and the public beach is 200 metres away, a four-minute walk.

The rooftop is the main event, with an infinity pool, restaurant and bar facing the sunset. Downstairs there's a Chinese restaurant, a café and a spa. You can book bed and breakfast or half board, and plenty of guests mention being upgraded.

What stands out
  • Rooftop pool and bar
  • Pereybère beach 200 m away
  • Adults only ( 16+ )
  • Half board available

Worth knowing : It's on the busiest road in the area, with buses and traffic from dawn on the street side, so ask for a garden-facing room. The rooftop pool is on the small side.

Mont Oreb, Pereybère, beach across the road, Pereybère 800 m away
8.6Superb141 reviews
Best for : tight budgets, with good food on site

A guesthouse and restaurant on the Mont Oreb coast road, north of Pereybère on the way to Cap Malheureux. There's a beach just across the road, Pereybère public beach is 800 metres away, and a supermarket is nearby if you want to self-cater. Pereybère's shallow lagoon is a great place for first-time snorkellers.

There's a pool with a bar, free parking and a restaurant whose fish, grills and burgers go down as well as the breakfast crêpes. Beach towels and parasols are lent out. Cleanliness and friendly staff are what guests praise most.

What stands out
  • Well-liked restaurant
  • Pool and bar
  • Beach towels and parasols to borrow
  • Free parking

Worth knowing : Depending on your room, you'll hear the coast road. Ground-floor rooms are dark and some mattresses are on the soft side.

Where to stay

The village, Pereybère or Pointe aux Canonniers?

Three areas a few kilometres apart, from buzzy to properly peaceful.

Grand Baie, around the bay

The heart of the north: restaurants, bars, the bazaar, La Croisette and boat trips. La Cuvette, the small public beach by the yacht club, fills up with Mauritian families at weekends.

Pereybère

Four kilometres north, a lagoon 1.5 to 2 metres deep that shelves gently from the sand, with turtles about. Food trucks and small restaurants cluster round the public beach.

By type of trip

Which hotel suits you in Grand Baie and Pereybère?

Couples

Seapoint ( 12+ ) on the water, La Maison 20 Degrés Sud for the food and boat dinners, or Ocean V ( 16+ ) and its rooftop in Pereybère.

Veranda Grand Baie for all-inclusive and a kids' club, LUX* for clubs covering kids and teens, or the kitchenettes at Le Mandala Moris if you like doing your own thing.

Practical tips

Lagoon, islets and getting around

Swimming

The reef keeps the lagoon calm most of the time. There are no lifeguards at Pereybère, so stay to the right of the red buoys marking the boat channel. La Cuvette in Grand Baie is packed at weekends; go on a weekday.

Out to the northern islets

Grand Baie is the base for catamaran trips to Îlot Gabriel, Île Plate and Coin de Mire, usually from 9 am to 4 pm. See our guides to catamaran cruises and boat hire. To see the northern lagoon from above, try a helicopter flight or a seaplane tour.

Below the surface

Several dive centres run trips from Grand Baie. If you'd rather stay dry, the Blue Safari submarine dives to 35 m off Mont Choisy, with check-in at Trou aux Biches.

When to go

May to November is drier and cooler, and May to September is quieter. January to March is cyclone season. Month-by-month detail is in our guide on when to visit Mauritius.

FAQ

Staying in Grand Baie and Pereybère: your questions

What is the best hotel in Grand Baie?
It depends which part of the area you want. On the bay itself, **LUX* Grand Baie ( 5-star Luxury, 8.9/10 on Agoda ) is our pick, and Veranda Grand Baie is the one for all-inclusive family holidays. Out at Pointe aux Canonniers, Seapoint and La Maison 20 Degrés Sud are made for quiet couples' stays. In Pereybère, adults-only Ocean V**.
Which Grand Baie hotels are right on the beach?
LUX* ( its Junior Suites are beachfront ), Veranda Grand Baie, Seapoint and La Maison 20 Degrés Sud, which has a private beach. The others are 200 m ( Ocean V ) or more from the sand.
How much does a hotel in Grand Baie cost?
The type of place matters more than the area: guesthouses and small residences usually cost far less than the beachfront hotels. For a weeknight for two, our last Agoda check ran from €70 to €665. Add the €3 per person per night tourist tax ( ages 12+ ) if it isn't already included.
Grand Baie or Pereybère?
Grand Baie for nightlife, restaurants and boat trips. Pereybère for a calmer lagoon where you can swim and snorkel straight off the beach, with a handful of restaurants on foot. They're only four kilometres apart.
Are there 5-star hotels in Grand Baie?
Two on our list, according to the Tourism Authority grading: **LUX* Grand Baie ( 5-star Luxury ) and La Maison 20 Degrés Sud** ( 5-star ). The Royal Palm, also in Grand Baie, isn't sold by our partner, so it's not ranked.
Are there all-inclusive hotels in Grand Baie?
Yes. Veranda Grand Baie is built around it and **LUX* Grand Baie** offers it as an option. Ocean V is bed and breakfast or half board.
Which hotels are adults-only?
Ocean V takes guests aged 16 and over, Seapoint 12 and over, and La Maison 20 Degrés Sud is aimed at adults. At LUX*, only the Bisou rooftop is adults-only.
Where should families stay in Grand Baie?
Veranda Grand Baie ( Timomo club for ages 3-11, all-inclusive ) and LUX* ( kids' and teens' clubs ) both run kids' clubs. Le Mandala Moris suits independent families thanks to its kitchenettes.
How long is the drive from the airport to Grand Baie?
It's 70-75 km, so 1 to 1.5 hours depending on traffic near Port-Louis. Several hotels can arrange a transfer; otherwise take a taxi or pick up a hire car at the airport.
Grand Baie, Trou aux Biches or Belle Mare?
Grand Baie for the buzz, Trou aux Biches, a few kilometres away, for long Mont Choisy beach and a lagoon known for snorkelling, and Belle Mare for the big resorts of the windier east coast.
