Grand Bay, Mauritius
Follows Mauritius Residency Rules. Check Digital Nomad & Retiree Pathways →
Living in this coastal village is a mixed bag. The population stands at a modest 11,910, but bureaucracy is a persistent headache as Grand Baie is administered by both the Rivière du Rempart and Pamplemousses District Councils. While the village is home to the country's third-largest shopping mall, a gruesome accident on an escalator in 2024 serves as a grim reminder of the safety challenges. Overall, Grand Bay may appeal to those seeking a quieter Mauritian lifestyle, but it's not without its hassles.
