Découvrez Goodlands, village vivant et coloré du nord de Maurice, ses commerces, ses habitants et son atmosphère authentique.

Located in northern Mauritius, a few kilometres south of Grand Gaube, Goodlands is a lively village shaped by its people, its shops and its constantly bustling streets.

Home to nearly 20,000 residents, the village is an important commercial and social hub for the surrounding area. Markets, small businesses, roadside stalls, public transport and everyday street scenes create a dynamic atmosphere where tradition and modern life meet.

Goodlands stands out for its colour, energy and popular character. Far removed from the island’s familiar postcard images, it reveals a more authentic side of Mauritius, one defined by encounters, movement and the simple rhythms of daily life.

Travel-Îles takes you through the streets of Goodlands, a distinctly Mauritian village that remains vibrant from morning until night.
