Trou aux Biches is by far the most sought after beach resort in Mauritius. It owes its popularity with discerning regular visitors mainly owing to its safe bathing for children, perfect conditions for snorkelling (either in its lagoon or along its reefs), and its fine silver sand. Its amenities include water and other sports (water-skiing, paragliding, snorkelling, sailing, etc), several restaurants and a casino. A useful local amenity is Popo Supermarket (a small but well stocked grocery store where you can find practically everything from fresh French baguettes to the best wines).
Pointe aux Piments is within a mile or so going south along the coastal road towards Turtle Bay. Pointe aux Piments Beachfront Villlas is a modern cluster of beachfront spacious duplex villas and apartments around a large pool. There is a boutique hotel next door but one -The Veranda Pointe aux Biches Resort & Spa - with a lovely restaurant, spa and a beautiful swimming beach. The beach directly in front of the PAP Beachfront villas is a protected marine conservancy and so is ideal for snorkelling. There is one restaurant within walking distance. Cabs and busses run frequently and a taxi man services the complex. Pointe aux Piments is right next to Trou aux Biches and is a quieter part of the island - not as congested as Grand Bay which is only a 15 minutes car ride away. We have had families saying that the complex is ideal as it is compact enough to keep an eye on children without losing privacy
