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.

Just returned from an unforgettable stay at Sands Suites Resort & Spa in Mauritius with my wife, and wow – this place is a gem! Nestled with Le Morne in the background, the setting is as perfect as it gets for a relaxing getaway. The staff were absolutely incredible. From the pool attendants to the restaurant team, everyone was so friendly and went above and beyond. Special thanks to Ruddy, the pool attendant, who cleaned our sunglasses every morning – talk about going the extra mile! The animators, concierge, and managers were all awesome, always making sure we had everything we needed for a truly VIP experience. The food? Fresh and delicious, with a buffet offering a variety of options that kept us happily full. If you're into seafood, the à la carte lobster is a must – totally worth it! And shoutout to Gino, the sommelier, who made some fantastic wine recommendations that elevated every meal. If you're looking for activities, Sands Suites has it all. The water sports were amazing, and swimming with the dolphins was an experience we’ll never forget – definitely a highlight of our trip! If you're into games, there’s also darts and pétanque to enjoy, but beware... if you play against Jonathan (aka the sharp-shooter), you’ll probably end up losing in spectacular fashion! The resort is also pristine, with top-tier luxury and cleanliness. Everything from the grounds to the rooms was perfect, and we felt so well taken care of the whole time. All in all, Sands Suites is the ultimate spot for anyone looking to relax, enjoy good food, and take part in some fun activities. Highly recommend it for couples or anyone seeking a little slice of paradise! Read less
