2025 04 21 MAURITIUS - AERIAL - GRAND BAIE

Описание: We lifted the drone over Grand Baie, Mauritius in the late afternoon, just before sunset — and the island absolutely showed off.

Grand Baie sits on the north coast of Mauritius and is one of the most lively and scenic bays on the island. From above, you can really see why it’s such a hotspot. The lagoon glows in unreal shades of blue, the harbour fills with boats gently rocking in calm water, and the coastline curves perfectly around the bay.

Flying the drone during golden hour turned everything up a notch. The low sun painted the water with gold, turquoise, and deep sapphire tones, while boats — speedboats, fishing boats, catamarans, and yachts — dotted the harbour like a floating exhibition. The reef protects the bay from strong waves, keeping the water calm and crystal clear, making Grand Baie a favourite for sailing, snorkelling, diving, and island-hopping trips.

From the sky, Grand Baie feels alive. Beaches line the shore, resorts and cafés blend into the town, and the contrast between the shallow lagoon and the deep Indian Ocean beyond the reef becomes beautifully clear. It’s relaxed and energetic at the same time — very much the heart of northern Mauritius.

This is Mauritius at its most colourful: warm light, bright water, busy harbour, and that easy island rhythm that kicks in as the sun starts to sink.

If you love cinematic drone footage, tropical destinations, and coastal towns that know exactly how good they look at sunset — Grand Baie delivers.
