Located in the Rivière du Rempart District, Calodyne is one of the more serene corners of northern Mauritius. This coastal village is primarily residential, offering visitors a glimpse into local life away from the high-density resort areas. Its most striking feature is the panoramic view across the turquoise lagoon toward the northern islands, including Coin de Mire, Île Plate, and Île Ronde. While it lacks the large sandy beaches of its neighbors, Calodyne provides intimate rocky coves and a sense of seclusion that is increasingly rare on the island. It serves as an excellent base for those who want to be near the action of Grand Baie while retreating to a quiet home base.
