Sands Suites Resort & Spa

The boutique hotel Sands Suites Resort & Spa is set directly on Tamarin Bay, with Mauritian architecture, elegant design and first-class service. Alongside its excellent spa, it offers a wide range of leisure and sporting activities. The hotel is also part of the Preferred Hotels & Resorts Lifestyle Collection, which is designed for travellers seeking distinctive stays in unique, stylish hotels.

Sands Suites Resort & Spa enjoys a peaceful, unique setting on Mauritius’s west coast, directly beside the unspoilt beach at Flic en Flac. This former fishing village delights visitors throughout the year with its fine white-sand beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters and beautiful coral reefs, perfect for snorkelling and exploring. Nearby are the many lagoons of Tamarin Bay and Le Morne Brabant, both offering exceptional views from the hotel. The sister hotel, Maradiva Villas Resort & Spa, is also just a few minutes’ walk away. The capital, Port Louis, is around 25 km away and makes an ideal day trip. Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport (SSR) is around 55 km away.

Breakfast and dinner buffets at the main restaurant, Tamarind Terrace, featuring international and local dishes.

Set on a wooden deck by the beach, Pink PepperCorn sits beside a pink pepper tree, as its name suggests. The restaurant specialises in fish dishes and serves a variety of local cuisine. It is the perfect setting for a romantic meal. Booking is recommended.

At Spices, you can enjoy a unique selection of dishes inspired by Mediterranean and Mauritian cuisine. This fusion brings together a wide range of flavours. Each dish can be paired with a wine from our carefully curated wine list to round off your dining experience.

Dolphin Bar is at the heart of the resort and offers a lively place to unwind and enjoy live performances. The restaurant serves a lunch menu, as well as a refined selection of cocktails to enjoy with traditional Mauritian snacks.
