Trou aux Biches Travel Guide

Tourist Guide
Trou aux Biches which includes a sandy beach and sailing
An unforgettable oceanfront getaway awaits in this coastal town. Enjoy underwater adventures, ride horseback at sunset and stay in a luxurious beach villa.

Swim and snorkel in calm waters and embark on a submarine adventure in the Mauritian town of Trou aux Biches. Ride horses through tranquil rainforests and across shorelines, try delicious island cuisine and enjoy lagoon views from your oceanfront accommodation.

Visit the famous 1-mile (1.6-kilometre) sandy stretch of Trou aux Biches Beach. Relax under the shade of straw umbrellas or dive into the warm water and admire glorious island scenery while floating on gentle waves. Rent snorkeling equipment on the shore and swim out to the colourful reef through shallow, clear waters. From Trou aux Biches Beach, walk west for 30 minutes and find another pleasant, secluded swimming spot, Mont Choisy Beach.

Back in town, view a stunning array of tropical reef fish and turtles at the Mauritius Aquarium. For a more adventurous marine experience, take a submarine trip with Blue Safari Submarine. Throughout the 2-hour expedition, admire coral reefs and tropical marine life at a depth of 115 feet (35 metres).

Enjoy horseback adventures over 1,606 acres (650 hectares) of lush greenery with a local riding school. Spot deer, wild tortoises and farm animals as you breeze through breathtaking island settings. Book a sunset tour and ride across sandy shores under a brilliant orange sky. For more wildlife encounters, drive 30 minutes southeast to see rare birds at the Rivulet Terre Rouge Bird Sanctuary.

As your appetite builds, visit an award-winning Trou aux Biches restaurant for delightful local dishes. Try South African fare, which includes flavorsome steaks, curries and burgers. The fresh seafood is also exceptional.

Stay in luxury at a 5-star beach resort. Marvel at vistas over the lagoon from the deck of your private villa. Take in the hotel’s attractive island-style décor. Spend glorious days in the sun, as you swim in your private pool.

Hotel is wonderfully kept, laid out and great facilities. The Thai, Indian and Le Deck restaurants are very good and the others are ok. There are also great dining restaurants nearby. Would definitely go back.

It's a really great place and perfectly located for trips to both Port Louis and Grand Baie. The local people are lovely. The views are spectacular. I've not had a rest and relaxation holiday before and this trip has ensured it won't be my last :D
