A cocktail in hand, your feet in the sand, music playing from a lively beach club… A shared platter on a rooftop with an ocean view… Or a glass of wine in a cosy lounge bar. In Mauritius, sunset is a true ritual – a moment to be savoured.

As 6pm approaches, the terraces fill up, glasses clink, laughter echoes, and everyone turns to watch the glowing horizon. Whether you’re into seaside cocktails, family lunches or romantic dinners by the waves, here are our favourite places to enjoy it all.

Just a heads up… These beach bars, restaurants and rooftops have a way of making you want to come back again (and again).

1. Our favourite Bars & Beach Restaurants

in the North

The Cloud – Pereybere
📍Take me there

At The Cloud, head up to the rooftop to enjoy a signature cocktail while watching the sun go down. Between bites of tapas, let yourself be carried away by the music: Thursday nights mean karaoke or blind test with friends, while Wednesdays and Saturdays are all about Latin vibes – a chance to discover salsa or level up your moves.

One thing’s for sure: here, the apéritif is just the beginning of a long, lively evening.

Eden Beach – Grand Baie
📍Take me there

A peaceful little spot by the water. No crowds here – just the gentle sound of waves, a few carefully set tables, and a calm, intimate atmosphere.

It’s the perfect place for two: come for a quiet lunch or a romantic dinner that stretches into the evening with easy conversation. The cuisine is fresh and Mediterranean-inspired, and the service is warm and attentive.

The perfect address to slow down and truly savour the moment.

The Beach House – Grand Baie
📍Take me there

Lively, laid-back, and right on the sand, this restaurant–beach bar is perfect for a fun night out with friends and well-poured cocktails.
It’s a true favourite on the northern coast – the kind of place where you can spend hours without even noticing the time go by.

La Plage by Evaco – Trou aux Biches
📍Take me there

Chic without overdoing it, this beach club is all about laid-back elegance. Settle into a sunbed or take a seat at a seafront table, a glass of wine in hand.

The menu highlights grilled fish and homemade tapas, but you’ll also find fresh salads, burgers, pizzas – and even a little corner of Mauritian flavours.

A great spot for a sunny lunch or a peaceful sunset by the sea.

N’Joy – Grand Baie
📍Take me there

Just steps from La Cuvette beach in Grand Baie, N’Joy is a vibrant and flavourful restaurant-bar where the energy picks up as the sun goes down.

Enjoy Mauritian-style tapas, sip a glass of rosé or a fruity cocktail, and let the evening flow with live music or DJ sets under the stars.

It’s a creative and welcoming place – the kind of lively beach bar Mauritius is known for. Come for a sunset apéro, stay for dinner… and often, you’ll end up dancing into the night.

Le Pescatore – Trou aux Biches
📍Take me there

Also among the best seafront restaurants in Mauritius, Le Pescatore invites you to slow things down. With its refined atmosphere, wooden deck and impeccable service, it’s the kind of place made for special occasions – or simply for those days when you feel like treating yourself.

Seafood lovers, take note: the ocean-facing platters are unforgettable. A meal you’ll remember long after the sun has set.

4. Our Favourite Beach Bars & Restaurants

in the West

The Bay – Rivière Noire
📍Take me there

Si vous êtes de vrais sundowners, The Bay va devenir votre nouveau QG. Cet endroit devient l’un des plus beaux coins pour trinquer lorsque le soleil se couche. Les pieds dans le sable ou près de la piscine, on partage des tapas à plusieurs et on savoure une bière bien fraîche. L’ambiance est bohème et la vue sur le lagon nous laisse sans voix. À The Bay, on ne regarde pas l’heure…on se laisse aller !

Mariposa – La Preneuse
📍Take me there

You’ll love this charming boutique hotel with its terrace opening directly onto the beach. As Le Morne fades into the horizon and the sun slowly sets, the plates offer simple, well-crafted flavours that let the setting shine.

Whether you’re here for a romantic apéritif or a peaceful moment with family, Mariposa is one of those beachfront restaurants that everyone agrees on.

Emba Filao – Le Morne
📍Take me there

Picture a spacious terrace shaded by filao trees, a cold Phoenix beer in hand, a plate of grilled fish or a good old Mauritian curry. No frills – just honest, local cooking and a laid-back beachside vibe.

This little lunch-only restaurant may close in the afternoon, but nothing’s stopping you from lingering on the beach until sunset.

Buddha Bar Beach – Flic-en-Flac
📍Take me there

A chic spot that never takes itself too seriously. Buddha Bar Beach is a well-known beach club in Mauritius, famous for its sushi, fresh seafood and eye-catching cocktails.

Come for a stylish lunch or stay for a laid-back dinner with a front-row seat to the sunset.

5. Our favourite Bars & Beach Restaurants

in the East

Green Island Beach Restaurant – Trou d’Eau Douce
📍Take me there

You instantly feel at home in this small lagoon-facing restaurant. No frills, no fuss – just fresh, generous cuisine, locally caught grilled fish, and service with a smile.

It’s the kind of place where you’ll happily linger over a homemade dessert or a fresh fruit juice… and say “we’re coming back” before the meal’s even over.

Le Four à Chaud – Trou d’Eau Douce
📍Take me there

No need for frills to win over your taste buds – just heartfelt local cuisine, a lovely view, and thoughtful service.

The tuna carpaccio has earned its reputation (and rightly so), and the dishes are generous without being heavy, all served in a relaxed, feel-good atmosphere.

And, as is so often the case in Mauritius, the warm welcome is part of what makes the experience truly memorable.

So, what’s your vibe – cocktails on the beach, sunset drinks at a rooftop bar, or a peaceful lunch by the lagoon? Whether you’re flying solo, in a couple, with friends or with family, there are countless ways to savour Mauritius.

Because maybe real luxury is just that: a good meal, a beautiful view, and the ocean as your backdrop.

These are, in our opinion, some of the very best beachfront bars and restaurants in Mauritius. Now all that’s left is to pick your next spot…
