Grand Baie is as lively as you want to make it. In fact it’s famous for its energy and entertainment value, which is a magnet for tourists. This is the place to be if you want to experience the bustle, interact with locals and browse through markets and stalls, chill at the oceanfront bars and restaurants, or laze at the beach.

The atmosphere changes literally as you cross the Coastal Road. Beachside, it is laidback and leisurely. But further into the village, on the other side of the busy thoroughfare, you can explore the little boutiques, salons, shops, restaurants and bars at a slower pace. You can also enjoy an explosion of flavours, day and night, with an array of local bites or delectable international cuisine, as you soak up the charm of this delightful island village.
