The hotel

Nestled on the beautiful beach of Flic en Flac and surrounded by landscaped tropical gardens, this relaxed resort has a welcoming Mauritian atmosphere. The outlook across the lagoon and the bay of Tamarin, with Le Morne Mountain in the distance, is impressive. Being on the west coast of Mauritius, you'll also be spoilt by amazing sunsets. The beach here is bounded by two reefs, an inner one that gives the hotel's swimming beach privacy and an outer reef where there’s a selection of complimentary water sports on offer. Enjoy the translucent, calm lagoon and keep a watch from the terrace for the dolphins that come into the bay. When it comes to dining, there's the main Tamarind Terrace restaurant, the intimate Pink Peppercorn on the beach terrace, and Spices, with its refined indoor dining room or more casual outdoor terrace. It's clear to see why this resort has a high volume of repeat guests.

This was our third trip to the Sands after first coming here on our honeymoon in 2011. What keeps us coming back (and putting ourselves through the journey to get there - we live on the north coast of Scotland, so it's about 27 hours door to door) is the fact that we know that within about 2 hours of arriving we'll feel as relaxed as if we'd already been there a week. It's a quiet hotel at the end of the coast road and that suits us perfectly. What puts the Sands head and shoulders above most hotels is the quality of its staff, who are superb. What is particularly impressive in an industry that can have a very high turnover rate is that there are still plenty of staff here who we remember from our first visit eight years ago. Thank you, Sands, for another lovely holiday and we'll probably see you again in 2021 for our 10th anniversary! Read less
