North Mauritius - Other Places To Visit On Your Holiday To The Northern Region Of Mauritius

There are other notable places to visit and stay in Northern Mauritius.  A highly popular destination for tourists is the pleasant village of Pamplemousses which boasts the Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Gardens – one of the prime tourist hot spots within Mauritius. There are some awesome variety of trees, flowers and foliage on display here - look out for the wonderful lily filled pond, a spectacular sight and possibly the most stunning feature of the gardens.

Another highly visited northern Mauritius destination is the cane-swept lands of Grand Gaube – a wonderful little fishing town which has benefited from tourism development. 

La Nicolière is a lake somewhat higher than the northern plains, and offers very beautiful views of the northern region with its many sugarcane fields. 

Check out the pleasant Le Benarche restaurant for some good Mauritius fare. It’s fairly easy to get a taxi from Grand Gaube into Grand Baie, a ride that takes about ten minutes (though be warned, taxi rides in Mauritius can be an expensive business).

Close to Grand Baie is Pereybere with it’s luxurious white sandy beach – it’s actually a mini Grand Baie with a nice selection of hotels and restaurants. Pereybere also boasts a stretch of boutiques selling everything from clothing and shoes to memorable souvenirs. 

For a good restaurant with splendid ambience try the Sea Lovers Restaurant – wonderful food and many tables are sea facing which can make your dining experience particularly memorable.

Finally, one of the most northern points of Mauritius is Cap Malheureux – while there are some hotels in this region, it’s important to note that the coastline in this region is notably more rocky than in other destinations. Highly recommended is Coin De Mire, close to Cap Malheureux.
