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.

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 are notably more rocky than in other destinations.
