Opened in October 2001, the attractive architecture of the Sands Resort & Spa is framed by landscaped gardens - overlooking a beautiful 800 ft sandy beach at Wolmar near Flic en Flac on Mauritius' west coast. It boasts wide views across the lagoon and Tamarin Bay to the majestic Le Morne Mountain. Relatively small in scale, The Sands has an intimate and welcoming atmosphere that will appeal especially to couples and those seeking a quieter setting - though the activities of Flic en Flac and other hotels are only a short drive away.
