On a small island replete with mega resorts, Mauricia stands out for packing a lot into a smaller area. Because it is located in the more built-up region of Grand Baie, you not only have all the resort facilities on your doorstep but also this buzzing town’s collection of shops, galleries, restaurants, bars and more. There’s never a dull moment at Mauricia!

The beach and large swimming pool overlook the azure bay, which is dotted with yachts and other craft. Activities include everything from volleyball and tennis to aqua-gym classes and art lessons for the kids. At night, relax at one of the restaurants or get into the rhythm of traditional Sega dance and music.
