Sugar Beach

You stay at Sugar Beach on the west coast of Mauritius, where the resort faces the lagoon at Flic en Flac. The beach is white sand; the water is clear and shallow enough to walk into. Two pools divide the grounds — one for adults only, one for all guests — and the spa sits beside the beach with treatment rooms and a hammam. Dining options include a buffet restaurant and beachfront spots serving seafood and pizza. The bars mix cocktails into the evening; some guests dress for dinner, others stay in beachwear. Water sports are free — kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, pedal boats — or you can pay to water-ski or fish beyond the reef. The resort shares facilities with its sister property La Pirogue next door, so you can walk between the two for more restaurants and bars. Kids under twelve stay and eat free when sharing a room with parents. Sugar Beach sits on the coastal road at Wolmar, a twenty-minute drive from the capital Port Louis.
