Situated in the Riviere du Rampart District, on the north coast of Mauritius, Grand Gaube is a quiet village surrounded by beautiful white-sand beaches, lapped by the crystal-clear waters of the Indian Ocean, and fringed by swaying palms. Visitors can look forward to snorkelling, swimming and excellent diving opportunities in the impossibly turquoise waters. Boating and golfing are also popular choices for active types. Local musicians and dancers entertain at a variety of restaurants and bars, while the vibrant local market offers the chance to browse an impressive range of fine crafts and other items.
