Maison Du Nord

Lined along the northern tip of Mauritius at Pointe aux Canonniers, Maison Du Nord faces the calm lagoon waters that make this stretch of coastline markedly quieter than the busier Grand Baie strip two kilometres south.

Rooms open onto private balconies with garden or pool views, and the ground-floor layout keeps beach access unhurried. The outdoor pool sits close enough to the sun deck that guests move between the two without losing a lounger. Themed dinners and a happy hour give evenings structure, while bike rentals and organised walking tours extend time beyond the property — the golf course falls within two miles.

With a 9.5 guest rating across 1,470 reviews, the hotel punches above its three-star classification. The airport shuttle removes the stress of negotiating taxis on arrival.
