The East Coast of Mauritius is defined by long white-sand beaches, clear turquoise lagoons and some of the island’s most prestigious luxury resorts. Quieter and more secluded than the lively northern coastline, it offers a refined setting for travellers seeking privacy, natural beauty and an unhurried island experience.
From the sweeping sands of Belle Mare to the sheltered waters surrounding Trou d’Eau Douce and Île aux Cerfs, eastern Mauritius combines exceptional beaches with championship golf, private villas, elegant dining and memorable experiences on the Indian Ocean.
The east coast is home to some of the longest beaches and clearest lagoons in Mauritius. Its coastline is characterised by soft white sand, coral reefs, offshore islets and a cooling ocean breeze that creates a peaceful, naturally beautiful atmosphere. The area is particularly well suited to swimming, snorkelling, diving, sailing and kitesurfing.
Unlike Grand Baie and the north, the east coast has a quieter social scene. Evenings tend to centre around the restaurants, bars and experiences offered within the luxury resorts rather than busy nightlife. This makes the region ideal for travellers who value space, attentive service and time away from crowds.
Belle Mare is one of the most celebrated destinations on the east coast. Its extensive shoreline, transparent aquamarine water and casuarina-fringed beach create an exceptional setting for swimming, snorkelling and long morning walks.
As the east coast faces the sunrise, early mornings in Belle Mare are especially beautiful. Guests can begin the day with a quiet walk along the shore, a sunrise swim or breakfast overlooking the Indian Ocean. Belle Mare is recognised as one of the island’s longest beaches, offering generous space and a peaceful atmosphere even during popular travel periods.
Trou d’Eau Douce is a historic fishing village situated along the eastern shoreline. Its waterfront, local restaurants and traditional village atmosphere offer a glimpse of everyday Mauritian life beyond the resorts.
The village is also one of the principal departure points for boat excursions to Île aux Cerfs. Travellers can board a speedboat, private launch or catamaran for a day exploring the lagoons, beaches and smaller islands scattered along the coast.
Located just off the east coast, Île aux Cerfs is one of Mauritius’ best-known offshore islands. It is surrounded by pale beaches and glistening lagoons, making it a popular destination for swimming, water activities and leisurely beach days.
The island is also home to a 19-hole championship golf course designed by Bernhard Langer. Its tropical setting and views across the lagoon make it an outstanding addition to a luxury golf holiday in Mauritius.

An East Coast Mauritius holiday pairs beautifully with a luxury safari in Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda or Southern Africa.
After days spent exploring wildlife reserves and staying in intimate safari camps, Mauritius provides a relaxing conclusion beside the Indian Ocean. Private-pool villas, restorative spa treatments and quiet beach days create a natural transition from safari adventure to island relaxation.
