The Best Bars to Relax in Mauritius

It’s a hard task to pick a place on this stretch of Grand Bay, but The Beach House stands out. Located right on the beach, it offers mind-blowing views of the lagoon and an ambiance that’s ideal for unwinding after a day of exploring. Lazily sip on your cocktail, served with a classic mini-umbrella, and enjoy the sunset. As night falls, things get livelier, with good music and cheery crowds. If you’re feeling hungry, be sure to try one of their seafood dishes, or even a burger.

The first and only Irish pub in Mauritius, The Irish might not be the first place you’d think to go to while on a tropical island – even less so considering it’s miles from a sandy beach or swimming pool. However, it has become a top choice in recent years, with by far the greatest setting when it comes to pubs. Other than Irish classics, it offers revisited tropical cocktails and food prepared by one of London’s Savoy Hotel former chefs. On weekends they have live bands, with a DJ taking over after midnight. Count on the customer service to make your experience well worth it and inch your way into relax mode!

This gastropub has the specialty of brewing its very own amber, with a new batch every month. With a chic yet rustic interior, the Flying Dodo offers an unparalleled pub experience. Opt for the beer garden to relax, or head to the inside bar where you can witness the beer being brewed right in front of your eyes. They also offer ‘beer therapy’ – which includes, you guessed it, a bathtub full of beer – and have live bands on Fridays and Saturdays.
