Flic En Flac

About Flic En Flac

Sunset light settles over beachside palms and seafood tables in Flic en Flac, a relaxed coastal resort on Mauritius’s western shore.

Casela Nature Parks, dolphin watching in Tamarin Bay and catamaran trips to Île aux Bénitiers bring wildlife and open water into the itinerary.

October to December and April to May suit a beach-focused stay, with three to seven days giving time for the coast and nearby attractions. Flic en Flac Beachfront keeps couples close to the sunset, local street food and the sea, with Dholl Puri and seafood curry among the dishes to try.
