Sugar Beach Resort

A blend of elegance and relaxation, Sugar Beach Resort is a haven of refinement in the purest tradition of old plantation mansions: a majestic manor house and villas of characteristic colonial architecture set in a vast, manicured garden with alleyed walks lined with palm-trees, and the sweet fragrances of tropical shrubs wafting in the air.

It celebrates the sand and sea pleasures of the Indian Ocean, the starlit romance of the tropical night, with a touch of jazz thrown in, and the culinary delights of Mauritius, the Mediterranean and the world.

Accommodation

The colonial-style Manor House comprises 80 spacious Standard Rooms of 40 m2 each, opening on the garden or the Indian Ocean. The 90 other Standard Rooms of the same size are housed in the Villas, in the village north or south of the Manor House.

With their king-size bed, white-lead and rattan furniture, tropical bouquets, and Venetian blinds to filter the sunlight, the rooms bear the hall-marks of space, colonial elegance, well-being and privileged peace of mind.

There are 83 Standard Rooms with two queen-size double beds, which is ideal for families of four (2 adults and 2 children
under the age of 12). Furthermore, 40 Rooms (Standard and Villa Rooms) are communicating.

All the rooms have a private balcony or terrace with rattan furniture.

The most demanding of gourmets are spoilt for choice between the world's flavours of Mon Plaisir, the excellent
Mediterranean and Italian fare of the refined Citronella's Café and the seafood delights of Paul et Virginie - not to mention
the heady scents and amber nectars of La Rhumerie.

Dining & Bars

The most demanding of gourmets are spoilt for choice between the world's flavours of Mon Plaisir, the excellent Mediterranean
and Italian fare of the refined Citronella's Café and the seafood delights of Paul et Virginie - not to mention the heady scents and
amber nectars of La Rhumerie.

Mon Plaisir

Very spacious, furnished with mosaic-and-wrought-iron tables and overlooking the swimming-pool and the gardens, Sugar Beach Resort's main restaurant is an open invitation to pleasurable self-indulgence and the fifth deadly sin.

Citronella's Cafe

Facing the sea, between Sugar Beach Resort and La Pirogue, guests can savour the delights of the Mediterranean's sunny
cuisines and their delicate olive-oil preparations in the cordial warmth of Citronella's dining-room, with its fine wrought-iron tables,
or in the shade of the café's teak terrace.

Paul et Virginie Restaurant

Rustic, charming and located right by the beach at sister resort La Pirogue, the entirely redesigned à-la carte Paul et Virginie
affords a sublime view on the Indian Ocean in the warm and cosy privacy of thatch-topped dining islets beside or overhanging
La Pirogue's superb new infinity pool.

The Plantation Bar

Overhanging the very large swimming-pool, which surrounds it, the sea-facing Plantation Bar is the heart of the resort. Open on all sides, convivial and relaxed, with a huge bar-counter, it welcomes adults and children all day until pre-dinner aperitif time. In the evening the magnificent flood-lit pool becomes the focal point for the resort's floor shows.

La Rhumerie

Located in the Manor House, La Rhumerie is the focal point of aesthetes and epicureans in quest of the secret of colonial art de vivre. With its small, comfortable and cosy lounge and its gramophone and soft music, it is a haven of peace and quiet, elegance and serenity. It offers an excellent selection of old rums, cognacs, liqueurs and other digestifs, with a choice of cigars to match.

The Sugar Club Bar

For those in need of refreshment after an intense game of tennis or a gym session in the gardens, the Sugar Club Bar, located next to the Sugar Club sports complex, proposes fresh-fruit juices, milk-shakes, carbonated drinks, coffees, teas and cold beers.

Beach and Pool-Side Service

For those wishing to enjoy a casual spot of lunch on the beach, a golf-cart proposes refreshments from 10am to 5pm and a choice of pizzas (Sugar Beach, Country etc.) or excellent Parisian baguette sandwiches (with smoked marlin, tuna, salami or ham) served under guests' thatch-parasols.

Sports & Activities

Between its kilometre-long beach, crystal-clear sea and splendid English-style gardens, Sugar Beach Resort offers its guests so many different activities and pursuits as to suit all tastes. From total relaxation on the beach and such unhurried pursuits as croquet and yoga sessions in the gardens for those wishing to make the most of the prevailing serenity of the place, to more dynamic activities like water-skiing, sailing or scuba-diving for the more energetically inclined, be they beginners or experts.

Water Sports

With its comfortable temperature all year round, the vast, crystal-clear expanse of sea between the beach and the protective barrier reef in the distance is an open invitation to discover its colourful underwater life and to learn or master all manner of water sports.

Scuba Diving

Gorgeous and teeming with fish, the coral ocean depths off Sugar Beach Resort and around Mauritius contain a number
of celebrated diving sites. Professional instructors from one of the island's best diving clubs are on hand at the sister resort
La Pirogue to teach beginners and take them through their paces, starting from basics in the swimming-pool.

Spa

Land Sports

With the enthusiastic and dynamic team of sports coordinators, there is a host of land activities to discover. Between the 20-acre gardens and the beach, you will be spoilt for choice: discovery tours of the west coast on mountain-bikes or horseback, tennis, golf (all of these are chargeable, though tennis only partly so - see Tennis); and croquet, badminton, beach volleyball in front of the Manor House, aerobics, cricket, frisbee, jogging, mini-soccer, tennis-soccer, 9-hole putting-green, pétanque, table-tennis, and volleyball (all of which are free of charge).

Golf

Sugar Beach Resort has a nine-hole putting green for beginners and aspirant golfers. For keen golfers, the newly opened 18-hole, par-72 championship golf course, Tamarina Golf Club, is only a 15-minute drive from the Resort and special rates are available for our guests (see attached pdf file). The course and setting are unique, with vestiges of the course's former use as hunting grounds still visible. There are dramatic views of the massive mountain range inland and the ocean to the west. The course itself crosses the River Rempart and long-established tamarind and other trees add a mature feeling to the site.

Tennis

Sugar Beach Resort and neighbouring La Pirogue share excellent tennis facilities, with 7 floodlit tennis courts, one of which can also be used for basketball, volleyball, football and handball.
