Trou aux Biches Beach

Situated on the northwest coast of Mauritius in Pamplemousses district, Trou aux Biches Beach is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful on the island. Less built-up than nearby Grand Baie, which is just ten minutes’ away by road, it nonetheless has a small selection of hotels and restaurants to choose between, as well as boutique shops in which to buy local textiles and other mementos of your time on Mauritius.

Trou aux Biches Beach runs as a ribbon of pure white sand for two kilometres beside shallow waters as warm as a bath. The offshore coral reefs make it a popular spot for snorkelers to check out the colourful life beneath the waves, while its roughly west facing aspect makes it ideal for watching the sun go down on another day in paradise too.
