Windsurfing, kayaking, snorkelling and pedal boats are complimentary, as is a glass-bottom boat ride so you can admire life below the waves without getting wet! Pay a bit extra and you can join PADI qualified instructors on diving expeditions and set sail on the resorts catamaran for an exciting excursion. The Kids & Teens kiosk will keep little ones entertained with a whole range of exciting activities. There’s also the delightful Seven Colours Spa should a spot of pampering, well-deserved no doubt, appeal.

We stayed for 14 days and did not tire of it. The staff were all very friendly and could not help you enough. The room was spacious and quiet and I slept very well, partly because of the rum.

Our stay at Veranda Grand Baie Hotel & Spa in Mauritius was nothing short of unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and hospitality that truly set the tone for the entire trip. The highlight of our experience was undoubtedly the incredible staff. A special thank you to Ajay and Aurore, who went above and beyond to make our stay so memorable. Their kindness, attention to detail, and personal touches made us feel not just like guests, but truly valued. They are a real credit to the hotel. One of the most unique and enjoyable experiences was the traditional Mauritian cooking session. It was such a wonderful opportunity to immerse ourselves in the local culture, learn authentic recipes, and appreciate the rich flavors of Mauritian cuisine. This experience added a meaningful and personal dimension to our holiday. The hotel itself is beautifully located, with a relaxed atmosphere, charming décor, and excellent facilities. Whether lounging by the pool, enjoying the beach, or dining at the restaurant, everything was thoughtfully arranged to ensure comfort and enjoyment. We leave with amazing memories and cannot recommend this hotel enough. Thank you again to the entire team—especially Ajay and Aurore—for making our Mauritius trip so special. We will definitely be back! Read less

Celebrating our 55th wedding anniversary at Veranda Grand Baie was truly a moment of joy, love, and reflection. Surrounded by the beauty of the ocean and the warm, peaceful atmosphere, we were reminded of how far we’ve come together. This occasion was even more meaningful as it brought back memories of our younger days—especially 1968, when we witnessed and contributed, in our own way, to the Independence of our country while I was serving in the army. Those were proud and defining moments in our lives, marking both our personal journey and the birth of a nation. From the gentle sea breeze to the stunning sunsets, every detail made our stay feel special. It was the perfect setting to celebrate a lifetime of shared memories, laughter, resilience, and unwavering companionship. This anniversary was not just about marking 55 years, but about honoring a bond that has grown stronger through history, challenges, and time itself. Our stay at Veranda Grand Baie will always hold a special place in our hearts—a place where we celebrated love, service, and togetherness, with many more moments still to come. Read less
