Visit the historic site of the first Dutch landing in Mauritius (1598) and the famous Battle of Grand Port (1810) - the only French naval victory inscribed on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. Explore the ruins of early settlements and enjoy views of the sheltered bay where colonial powers once fought for control of the island.

Frederik Hendrik Museum & Vieux Grand Port Historic Site

Step back in time at this small museum located at the site of the first Dutch fortification in Mauritius (1638). Discover artefacts from the Dutch colonial period, learn about the island's early European settlers, and see remnants of the original fort including cannons and stone foundations.

Mahebourg Museum

Explore Mauritius' rich maritime and colonial history in this charming museum housed in a beautiful French colonial mansion. View fascinating collections including naval battle artefacts, antique maps, colonial furniture, and exhibits on the island's sugar industry and slavery period.

Mahebourg Waterfront

Stroll along the scenic waterfront of this historic coastal village, once the island's main port. Browse the famous Monday market (if visiting on Monday), admire colourful fishing boats in the bay, explore local craft stalls, and soak in the authentic Mauritian atmosphere of this charming seaside town.

Blue Bay

  • 1h 30m
Relax at one of Mauritius' most beautiful beaches, famous for its crystal-clear turquoise waters and pristine white sand. Blue Bay Marine Park is perfect for swimming, snorkelling among vibrant coral gardens, or simply enjoying the stunning coastal views. The shallow, calm lagoon makes it ideal for all ages.
