Living in Grand Gaube
A quieter, authentic corner of the north — waterfront calm and local charm, with Grand Baie's buzz a short drive away.
Grand Gaube, on the north-eastern tip of the island, offers a calmer, more authentic alternative to Grand Baie while keeping its amenities within easy reach. It is a working fishing village turned quiet residential haven, with beautiful bays and a slower rhythm.
It appeals to those who want tranquillity and a sense of local life, without being far from the shops, schools and restaurants of the north.

Frequently asked
Is Grand Gaube too quiet?
