2. N’Joy (Grand Baie)
Open only from Wednesday to Sunday, N’Joy has quickly built a reputation as one of the trendiest nightlife spots in Mauritius during weekends.

Think exquisite cocktails (try their Purple Haze or Curry Vodka), fine-dining style dishes without the hefty price tag, and a vibrant program of live performances and DJ sets. Each weekend brings something new—brunches with live singers, Afro house nights, and sets from some of the island’s best musicians and DJs. By 8pm the dance floor is alive, and the party often stretches into midnight. Chic, stylish, and full of good vibes, N’Joy is a must for those seeking something a little different in Grand Baie’s nightlife.
