The best beaches and coves

These are, in our opinion, the best beaches in Grande Gaube:

Grande Gaube Public Beach (see map) - a public beach right in the centre of the town with a nice park and a few food stalls.
Grande Gaube Public Beach II (see map) - a more secluded and much quieter beach in the eastern part of the town near St Michel Church with several restaurants and water sports, especially kitesurfing.
Butte À L'herbe (see map) - a small island reached by a concrete road, about 2.5 km from the centre, with beautiful tree-shaded coves and a relaxed atmosphere. The islet is popular among locals for picnicking.

Hotels for individual travellers

The Grand Gaube is also a good choice if you are travelling around Mauritius on your own.

Here you will find several budget apartments with prices starting from 80 usd per night.

We would recommend, for example Grand Gaube Golf Sea View Apartment right by the beach.

If you are looking for good quality but relatively cheap hotels, we recommend Mythic Suites & Villas by MJ Holidays ***** in the centre of the village about 10 minutes walk from the sea.
