Apartment

Grand Baie runs on the water: a marina, a curve of restaurants along the bay and a beach that fills early. Life here is walkable in a way little else on the island is — groceries, cafés and the weekend crowd all sit within a few streets — and the rest of the north is ten minutes by car. It suits buyers who want evenings out, a boat on standby and a permanently international crowd.

Schools

Primary and secondary options a few minutes inland, the island’s international schools an easy drive from the coast road.

Beaches

Grand Baie beach in the village, with Péreybère and Mont Choisy ten minutes further along the coast.

Restaurants

The densest dining strip on the island — waterfront tables, beach clubs and kitchens that run late along the bay.

Shopping

Daily groceries in the village, the La Croisette centre and the boutiques along the coast road.

Healthcare

Pharmacies and clinics on the coast road, the island’s hospitals a straightforward drive away.
