Grand Gaube is an authentic fishing village in northern Mauritius, known for its colourful boats, tranquil lagoon, maritime traditions and picturesque scenery.

Set along the northern coast of Mauritius, Grand Gaube is a peaceful seaside village where life still seems to follow the rhythm of the ocean.

Shaped for generations by fishing, the village has retained an authentic and unhurried atmosphere. Colourful boats, secluded coves, a luminous lagoon and scenes of everyday life create a picturesque setting far removed from the bustle of the island’s larger resorts.

Along its shoreline and through its quiet streets, Grand Gaube reveals another side of northern Mauritius: a close-knit coastal community deeply connected to its maritime traditions, its people and its natural surroundings.

Travel-Îles takes you to the heart of Grand Gaube, inviting you to slow down, take in the scenery and experience the understated charm of a Mauritian fishing village where every moment seems to tell a story.
