At a glance
Sugar Beach sits at the heart of 12 acres of tropical gardens on the west coast of Mauritius, extending along a stretch of white sand beach above the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean.
The resort is designed around colonial plantation-style architecture, with the Manor House at its center alongside a series of Creole-inspired villa houses set within the gardens. The west coast position means the resort faces west across the Indian Ocean, with sunset views directly from the beach and from the oceanfront rooms and suites year-round.
Guests at Sugar Beach also have full access to the restaurants, bars, and facilities of La Pirogue, the sister resort a short walk along the beach, which doubles the dining and activity options available during the stay.
Tamarina Golf Club and Ile aux Cerfs Golf Club are both accessible from the resort, with complimentary green fees at Ile aux Cerfs included in some room packages. Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport is approximately 31 miles from the resort, around one hour by road.
Highlights
- 238 rooms and suites, ocean or garden views.
- Three restaurants, three bars, La Pirogue access included.
- GLOW Spa, two pools, five tennis courts, kids club.

Premium Beachfront Rooms
Ground floor rooms with direct access to the beach from a private terrace, available in king, twin, or queen configurations. The terrace opens directly onto the sand, making this the most immediate connection to the beach available in the room categories. Suited to families or couples, with cots available on request.
Junior Suites
Ground floor suites with a king-size bedroom and a separate lounge with a sofa bed, suited to families who want additional living space alongside the sleeping area. Two bathrooms are included, alongside a spacious private terrace with ocean or garden views.
The same full room amenity set applies throughout, with the suite layout providing more separation between sleeping and living areas than the standard room categories.
Senior Suites

A large private terrace with direct beach access extends from the suite, with ocean views from both the bedroom and the terrace.

We work with some incredible resorts, all of which offer a uniquely luxurious experience.
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.
