A Mauritius Luxury Holiday In A Great Honeymoon Hotel

A Mauritius Luxury Holiday, be it a Family Holiday in Mauritius that you want, or a Honeymoon in Mauritius that you are planning, needs careful research. Recently voted as the Number one Resort and Spa of choice in Mauritius is The Sands Resort and Spa a Flic En Flac Hotel on the west coast. As there are some amazing hotels in Mauritius including the legendary St Geran, it is worth investigating what has made The Sands so popular amongst visitors.

Firstly the situation lends itself to being a luxury romantic vacation getaway, a real hideaway situated on the west coast of Mauritius, at the southern end of the beautiful Wolmar Beach with spectacular views across the Bay of Tamarin. The beach itself is about two hundred and fifty metres long of white sand, with a reef protected lagoon making it absolutely ideal for a whole range of water sports, including waterskiing, sailing, pedal boats, kayaking, windsurfing, and snorkeling. The beach is very clean, and never busy which is great if this is the place you have chosen for your honeymoon in Mauritius. Walking on the beach is fun, and when you take a look at the other hotels, then you will appreciate how private and peaceful The Sands Resort and Spa is by comparison.

This is the ideal place for couples, honeymoon couples seeking peace and quiet, some tranquility and a high level of comfort and personalized service. Having said that there are interconnecting rooms, baby sitting, and the ability to squeeze a third bed into a twin bedded room, so The Sands Resort and Spa is not only a honeymoon hotel, but suitable for a family holiday in Mauritius as well, although family type reservations are only on a strictly request basis.

The Sands has just 92 rooms, all sea facing, with either a balcony or a terrace. King size beds are a feature, as is the spacious bathroom. One guest’s comment was that the bathrooms are the biggest they had ever seen. Each room is equipped with air conditioning, walk in wardrobes, TV, video, telephone, mini bar, safe, tea and coffee maker.

A Mauritius luxury holiday mustn’t only have great accommodation and facilities, fantastic views, all of which The Sands has, it should also have delightful food to complement everything else. There is The Tamarind Terrace restaurant which is open every day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner featuring International and Mauritian specialties. You will also find that the menu changes every day

The other restaurant is Spices which is an a la carte restaurant opens every day for dinner serving the spices and menus of the Indian Ocean. For drinks there is the Dolphin Bar facing the bay, which opens until after midnight.

To summarize, The Sands Resort and Spa in Mauritius has a great location, well kept grounds, friendly staff, and good sized rooms and bathrooms, with good food. If you choose it for either a holiday in Mauritius or your honeymoon, you will not be disappointed.
