SUGAR BEACH RESORT – MAURITIUS

SUGAR BEACH RESORT

Beautifully designed in the classic style of a Mauritian colonial sugar estate:

Situated on Mauritius’ sheltered west coast sharing a stunning long white-sand beach with sister-resort La Pirogue, Sugar Beach is reminiscent of a colonial plantation house framed by 20 acres of tropical gardens, creating a gracious setting.  Newly refurbished in 2008, the resort has been transformed into a modern and contemporary style property and has clearly maintained its distinct colonial charm and chic feel.  Sugar Beach is enhanced with soft botanical tones and elegant mahogany features, and remains a favourite choice for families and couples seeking an active beach holiday.  The all-improved leisure facilities include a diverse list of sport activities, the largest gym on the island equipped with the latest Vibro Gym technology and a new pool area for those in search of peace and quiet.  The Kids Club and activities are further enhanced with a sports club including a bar and entertainment area for teenagers.  Dining facilities offer something for all with a great option of an all-inclusive plan.  The new spa boasts remarkable Hammam and treatments allowing for pure relaxation from within.

A distinct colonial charm and chic feel:

Interior design complements the plantation theme of the resort, while maintaining a contemporary feel.  Real mahogany furniture and magnificent king-size beds harmonise well with the soft finishes in tones of pale green and beige.  The 258 guest rooms and suites are fitted with blackout curtains and pastel sheers drawn behind white louvred panels on each side of the front windows.  The sheers maintain privacy while allowing filtered light to enter during the day.

Delightful dining options:

Located at the beachfront, Tides Restaurant offers World Sea Cuisine.  The centrepiece is an elaborate crustacean and seafood counter that appears to float on illuminated ice.  Here guests compose their own seafood platter from fresh shellfish, mussels, oysters and a variety of handmade Sushi and Sashimi.  The kitchen is equipped with a specially designed fish room to ensure the highest quality during the handling and preparation of fish and seafood dishes.  Mon Plaisir features a variety of themed buffet dinners.  An outside dining deck is also available for full English and Continental buffet breakfast.  Citronella’s Café is an ocean-side Italian market-place restaurant offering light meals, baked wood-fired pizza and salads at lunch time.  Citronella’s Café offers regional authentic Italian cuisine at dinner.
