Tourism in Grand Gaube
A Peaceful Village by the Sea
From your villa or apartment at Mythic Suites & Villas, Grand Gaube Reveals itself in all its sincerity. This Authentic Fishing Village, nestled between turquoise lagoon and vibrant traditions, invites you into a Genuine, peaceful Mauritian lifestyle. Stroll to the rhythm of fishing boats, warm smiles, and the scent of spices. Here, time slows down and the island reveals a different side.
A Village Frozen in Time
Between Tradition and Gentle Living, Grand Gaube Is one of those places that doesn't seek to impress but leaves a lasting impression. A truly authentic fishing village with quiet streets, familiar faces, stalls of fresh fish, and boats rocking in the distance. Mauritius here appears unfiltered, in a Simple, Honest Kind of Beauty.
What I like about Grand Gaube is its peaceful and authentic atmosphere, far from the hustle and bustle of major tourist centers. Here, we live to the rhythm of the fishing village, we exchange a smile on the port, we stroll through the Goodlands market or we escape to the neighboring islets for a day out of time. It is a different, more confidential North of the island, where you can enjoy the ocean and Mauritian culture with simplicity and elegance.
