At a glance
Sofitel Mauritius L’Impérial Resort and Spa sits on the west coast of Mauritius in Flic en Flac, spread across nine hectares of tropical gardens on a white sand beach facing the Indian Ocean.
The architecture draws on East Asian design, with natural materials, water features, and a Japanese garden running through the resort grounds. The west coast position places the resort facing west across the Indian Ocean, with sunset views directly from the beach and from the pool throughout the year.
The resort has 191 rooms and suites across four categories, five restaurants and bars, a Sofitel Spa with L’Occitane, two pools, and a full program of water sports. Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport is approximately 50 kilometers from the resort, around one hour by road.

Our Experts
Mauritius always feels like next-level luxury, a cut above the rest. It's quieter than some of the other island destinations so has a heightened sense of secluded relaxation.
I've only ever heard wonderful things from clients who have been fortunate enough to visit Mauritius. There are so many fantastic resorts, plus it's the land of the Dodo.
Stellar service. Stellar products. Stellar people and it gets so much better when you pick up the phone and call.

Suggested tours
Seychelles & Mauritius: Two Pearls of the Indian Ocean
Tailor-made VacationAsk most travelers to choose between the Seychelles and Mauritius, and they will hesitate. This itinerary is built to explore the best parts of both. The Seychelles and Mauritius are frequently held up against each other in comparisons of the Indian Ocean's finest destinations, yet surprisingly few itineraries actually combine them.
11 days tailor-made from $13,450 per person View trip
Mauritius Island Escape
Tailor-made VacationThis itinerary is built entirely around one island, with time to escape, explore, and immerse yourself in life on Mauritius. Where several of our Mauritius itineraries pair the island with a South African safari, this one stays put, giving guests nine full days to explore a single destination properly rather than fitting it around a longer, more demanding journey.
9 days tailor-made from $9,850 per person View trip
Mauritius Wellness & Spa Retreat
Tailor-made VacationSome travelers come to Mauritius to see the island. This retreat is for those who come to feel it, one slow, salt-scented day at a time. This itinerary is designed for travelers who want Mauritius stripped back to its most restorative elements: warm water, quiet mornings, and treatments that leave more time unaccounted for than planned.
8 days tailor-made from $8,150 per person View tripNo two trips we plan are the same. Yours will be no exception.
