SUGAR BEACH, MAURITIUS

On Mauritius’ west coast between Tamarin and Flic en Flac, Sugar Beach is one of five Sunlife properties promising one-of-a kind experiences for every guest. Make the most of warm and calm seas with kayaking, paddleboarding, windsurfing and water skiing. Swim, snorkel and scuba in the lagoon beside 1,500 metres of powdery white sand. Splash through the waves on glass-bottom boats , catamaran cruises or deep-sea fishing trips. And that’s only the start. Two pools, two golf courses, five tennis courts, football, volleyball, martial arts… the list of activities is endless . Add the freshly renovated GLOW Spa and dine around all-inclusive across half a dozen outlets, and it’s easy to see why Sugar Beach is a family favourite.

DIVE INTO AN ISLAND ESCAPE

OUR SPECIALIST TOP TIP

The Indian Ocean has a lot to give. Culture and wildlife tours in Sri Lanka. Island-hopping adventures in the Seychelles. Castaway luxury in the Maldives. And the beach-lined playground of Mauritius. Each sun-kissed paradise is built for indulgence and ripe for romance. They’re also great spots for family holidays. All you need is the right resort.

Stay in an overwater villa – they’re truly stunning, and you can go snorkelling as soon as you wake up. - Neil Darby , Homeworker
