Known for turquoise lagoons, friendly seaside towns, and postcard sunsets, this region offers something for everyone. Here are the best things to do in North Mauritius to make your trip unforgettable.

1) Grand Baie – The Beating Heart of the North

Begin in Grand Baie, the island’s famous coastal village. Browse boutiques, dine at beachfront restaurants, and enjoy nightlife by the lagoon. Love the sea? Try jet skiing, parasailing, or join a catamaran cruise to nearby islands.

3) Cap Malheureux – Iconic Red Church Views

At Cap Malheureux, the red-roofed chapel contrasts beautifully with the turquoise lagoon and views of Coin de Mire. It’s one of Mauritius’ most photographed spots — a peaceful stop for photos and quiet reflection.

4) Northern Islands – Ile aux Gabriel, Flat Island & Coin de Mire

No northern itinerary is complete without a day cruise to the northern islets. Snorkel coral gardens, relax on white sand, and enjoy a BBQ lunch prepared by the crew. These protected lagoons showcase Mauritius at its most pristine.

5) L’Aventure du Sucre & Pamplemousses Garden

Head inland to L’Aventure du Sucre, a former sugar factory turned museum, to learn about Mauritius’ history and rum culture. Nearby, the Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Garden (Pamplemousses) features giant water lilies and rare tropical species — a must for nature lovers.
