Auberge de Trou aux Biches

Auberge de Trou aux Biches is a small budget accommodation in the village of Trou aux Biches on Mauritius's north coast. Trou aux Biches is known for one of the finest public beaches on the island—a curved bay of soft white sand with a calm, shallow lagoon sheltered by a reef, excellent for swimming and snorkelling. The village is about eight kilometres west of Grand Baie and roughly 50 kilometres from Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport by road. Local restaurants, small grocery stores, and bicycle rental operators are available within walking distance of the auberge.

The property is a modest guest house with simple, clean rooms designed for travellers prioritising location and price over amenities. The structure is typical of modest Mauritian accommodation—concrete construction, tiled floors, ceiling fans, and basic furnishings. Air-conditioned rooms are available for a supplement over the standard fan-cooled options. The auberge is not beachfront but sits within a comfortable walking distance, a few minutes on foot from the beach access points.

Room types include standard double rooms and fan-cooled budget rooms at the lower price point. All rooms have en-suite bathrooms. Breakfast can be arranged at the property; Trou aux Biches village has a range of inexpensive local restaurants—including Creole seafood establishments—within easy reach for other meals. The auberge does not operate a restaurant beyond breakfast service.

The beach is the primary draw, with snorkelling, swimming, and windsurfing available from the public access points. Excursion operators in the village arrange glass-bottom boat trips, catamaran sails, and island day trips at competitive prices. The location suits backpackers and budget travellers who want proximity to a top-tier beach without paying resort prices, and it functions well as a base for exploring the north coast by bus or rented bicycle.
