West Coast Location

The Bay is located on the West Coast of the Island, in La Preneuse fishing village, a 5-minute walk from Black River town centre. Yachts are moored in the bay, set with Tamarin Mountain as its backdrop. Nearby landmarks include Ruisseau Creole (1 km), La Preneuse Public Beach (0.5 km), Tamarin Public Beach (3 km), Rempart Mountain (5.5 km), The Martello Tower Museum (0.5 km), Ilot Fortier (4 km), Wolmar Public Beach (4.5 km), Tourelle du Tamarin (2 km), Ruisseau Creole Limitee (2.5 km), and Dolphin Encounter Mauritius (2.5 km).

Personalized Mauritian Experience

The Bay aims to make their guests experience the real Mauritian lifestyle. The small team of caring staff soon learn your food and drink preferences. The lobby walls are decorated with straw hats and black-and-white island scenes by local photographer, Patrick Lefevre. The team is committed to create a cozy homely Mauritian atmosphere and enjoy recommending the best places to visit and the best activities to do in the most authentic way.

“This small beachfront hotel seems to have carved out a nice niche in Riviere Noire, with its boutique vibe and focus on Mauritian hospitality. The location puts you right on the sunset coast, and I can imagine the open-air dining is lovely under the thatched roofs, especially with live music on weekends. It sounds like a worthwhile place for those seeking a more personalized experience.”
