Flic en Flac holidays take you to the west coast of Mauritius, where white coral sands, tropical lagoons and protected coral reefs make up postcard-perfect scenes, and Flic en Flac beach is the main hangout.
This part of the country’s fringed with generous stretches of soft white sand, and Flic en Flac town’s public beach is quite a show-stopper. It’s the longest white coral sand sweep in Mauritius, and it features a tranquil lagoon protected by coral reefs. Crystal-clear waters make it a hotspot for snorkelling. Plus, you have a pick of high-end luxury resorts to stay at, along with a scattering of local restaurants and souvenir shops to visit.
Flic en Flac’s quiet coastline stretches toward the Morne Brabant peninsula. It’s dotted with uncrowded white sands, where casuarina trees offer shade for picnics and peaceful reading stints. South-west Mauritius is a great spot for water babies, too – there are lots of great places for lagoon swimming.
In Flic en Flac, scuba diving sites are not hard to come by. In fact, it’s home to some of the most vibrant coral reefs in Mauritius – you can expect colourful marine life and gin-clear waters. A couple of spots to keep your eyes peeled for are Rempart Serpent (Snake Reef) and The Cathedral for underwater cave diving.
On dry land, there’s plenty to sink your teeth into. For example, rum lovers can visit Médine Sugar Estate distillery and have guided tours near Flic en Flac – it’s open between July and November, in the sugar cane cutting season. Or, if you’re a golfer, you can go for a round at the Tamarina Golf Estate 18-hole golf course. There’s endless adventure and relaxation on offer, whether you go exploring in Casela Nature and Leisure Park, or you roll out a towel and laze the day away at Tamarin Bay.
