Grand Baie hotels collection

The wooden pirogues of Grand Baie wait at their moorings on lagoon water, calm above a floor of coral sand. Offshore, Gunner's Quoin raises its basalt cliffs, where tropicbirds nest; it has the shape of the wedge gunners slipped beneath a cannon to set its aim. At Cap Malheureux, the church sets its red roof facing the islet. Inside, the holy water rests in a giant clam shell, fixed to a wooden pillar.
