Latest reviews on Mauritius's beaches

La Pelouse Beach

10 Dani

The beach has a great location and offers simple yet well-managed accommodation that provides excellent value. The staff were all very helpful, making it a perfect choice for those seeking a straightforward and well-maintained place to stay in a beautiful and authentic Mauritian setting.

Grand Baie Beach III

10 Claudie

This place is absolutely amazing! The location, food, service, and the sea are all top-notch. It's definitely the best spot in Grand Baie. 😍

Le Bouchon Beach

4 D Dee

Quiet usually. Love this place. No shops around. Careful if you there at night.

Ile aux Cerfs Beach

6 Zaid Alawi

This location in Mauritius is truly stunning, but unfortunately, swimming may not be the best option due to the abundance of sea urchins on the beach. These creatures can be found both on and off the shore. Additionally, a boat tour is available for a reasonable price of 450 Rupees (approximately 10-12 Euro) but does not include a BBQ. However, there are some great food options to be found on the island.

Roches Noires Beach

10 SunshineQuack

What an amazing place! We stayed for 10 nights and the staff took great care of us. We had originally planned to cook for ourselves, but once we tried the delicious meals available on site, we abandoned that idea. The front patio deck had plenty of seating options depending on your mood - whether you wanted sun, breeze, or both. And if you needed to cool off, the ocean was just a staircase away. The sparrows that visited in the evenings and mornings provided a lovely soundtrack and helped us time our sundowners. Overall, it was a fantastic experience with a wonderful team, and we definitely plan to come back in the future.

Wolmar Beach

6 Zalika Nadeem

This beach is a pleasant spot to unwind with loved ones and take a leisurely walk by the shore. It's also a fantastic location for fishing and capturing stunning sunset shots. However, parking can be challenging due to the limited space available. I would advise against swimming here since the seawater is often contaminated with sewage and can emit an unpleasant odor.

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.

Do you know how many beaches there are in Mauritius? In total there are 89 beaches and the most popular is Shangri-La Mauritius Resort beach.
