B&Bs and Inns - Africa
When you want a charming stay with that home-away-from-home feel, these spots deliver.
The Travelers’ Choice Awards Best of the Best title celebrates the highest level of excellence in travel. It’s awarded to those who receive a high volume of above-and-beyond reviews and opinions from the Tripadvisor community over a 12-month period. Out of our 8 million listings, fewer than 1% achieve this milestone.
Take things slow at Voile Bleue, a tranquil beachside hotel along the northwestern coast of Mauritius. From stunning ocean vistas to well-kept gardens, you'll discover plenty of places to relax. Dip into a saltwater infinity pool overlooking the ocean, or snorkel and dive at the beach if you prefer. Just don't miss out on the authentic Mauritian cuisine served up at their on-site restaurant—it's budget friendly too.

- Perfect location at the beach with a breathtaking swimming pool. Friendly staff and cozy atmosphere. small shop and snack bar nearby. Parking opportunities available. Beaches of other hotels can be used as well. Easy to reach/find by car.
@sp162Reviewed December 2024 - We’ve just spent the last 19 nights at Voile Bleue having a totally relaxing stay. Nice rooms, views, pool , staff and restaurant. What more do you need? Nothing is too much trouble for the staff - so if you want anything just ask and they will do their best. This was our third visit in 5 years.
@MrMrsHappyReviewed December 2024 - Voile Bleue was our second stop and we immediately fell in love with its lively weekend atmosphere. Enjoying cocktails while overlooking the beach was an absolute treat. The pool was fantastic, the cocktails were superb and the staff was incredibly friendly. A special shout-out to Ali, who made our stay unforgettable. Our only regret? Booking just one night! This is a place we’d gladly return to for its great vibes and warm hospitality.
@3a_KnightReviewed December 2024 - We have spend 3 nights in Voile Bleu Boutique Hotel in November 2024. The stay was amazing, starting from the cleanliness to the friendliest hosts we met there, we were absolutely delighted. Mr Yanish, at the reception was extremely helpful and friendly and made us feel at home, even in the far away land. He gave us valuable suggestions about the trip as well. Now, coming to the location, it is perfect, just on the beach from where you can spend the entire day swimming and admiring the ocean or you can just swim in the pool the hotel has. The area is way less busy than the Grand Baie area, so you can enjoy the calm and peaceful vibe. At the same time, it is just a 18 minutes drive to the main Grand Baie area, so you can enjoy the night life there as well. The rooms are well equipped with entire kitchen set up. The rooms are cleaned regularly. The well lit minimalistic room decor is perfect and the price is pretty reasonable as well. It is better to book the room at least 3 months before to get the best price. You can enjoy a delicious breakfast with a beautiful morning view just along the beach. But the breakfast options are pretty limited. Overall, we loved the experience and it is highly recommended if you want to enjoy a nice stay in the Northern part of Mauritus, enjoying the calm and serene Trou Aux Bich.
