Flick-an-Flak

Lost in the ocean

The western shores of Mauritius give a good idea of a tourist paradise, free from worries and cares. Gentle slopes into the water, white sands, clear waters, and colorful landscapes above and below the wave line—this is what this gentle land is like.

People come here for the unique feeling of being cut off from the rest of the world, to hear the heartbeat of the Indian Ocean, and for the hot winds and high salty crests that surfers love so much.

Tours to Flick-an-Flak

It is difficult to find inexpensive tours to Mauritius resorts. There are no cheap hotels here, and eating out in restaurants is quite expensive. That is why guests choose traditional last-minute deals, which allow them to reduce costs even in the high season.

On average, the cost of a vacation in Flic en Flac starts at $2,500 and up, and we're not talking about the most expensive rooms or the most intensive excursion program. But the best tours here are rich and very vivid, which means it makes sense to try to save money to find out what Mauritius is really like.

The price of a last-minute tour can be much lower, around $1,500–2,000, including accommodation and flights. You can enjoy diving and surfing, admire dolphins, see sugar cane plantations, and get acquainted with the island's unusual Creole culture.

The most luxurious trips to Flic en Flac are not just about the beach and sand, although these remain an important part of your vacation.

In any case, the azure waters around Mauritius, boat trips, and the alluring depths remain a good lure for connoisseurs of luxurious nature, tranquility, and unhurried relaxation. And if you get tired of relaxing on the beach, you will be offered a safari, underwater or on land, but definitely interesting. In short, you will definitely not be bored.

Interesting places in Flick-an-Flake

When it comes to such a small town and a very small island, the question of tourist routes becomes acute. After you've lain on the beach and had your fill of swimming, you'll want to travel. And that's when all the bus, car, and walking routes in Flic-en-Flac and its surroundings open up to you.

Most often, excursions start in Flic-en-Flac itself and lead outside the city, deep into the island. These are natural beauties, unusual national parks, and numerous museums that tell about the life of the island's peoples. Where should you go first if you are bored with the pastoral landscapes of a cozy resort?

Black River Gorge National Park

Waterfalls, streams, the high peak of the Black River, picturesque landscapes, and a variety of wild animals attract the attention of tourists.

Flight ticket prices

Mauritius has one major international airport, named after Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam, the country's first prime minister. This is where planes from Europe arrive. You will usually have at least two transfers. One of them is often in Istanbul. The cheapest flights on this route cost around $750.

There are also flights from Paris, where Air Mauritius flies to Mauritius. This is one of the fastest and most direct ways to reach your destination. Turkish Airlines offers only one connection in Istanbul. Such ticket options can be significantly more expensive — from $1,000 and above.

The best hotels in Flick-an-Flack

You won't find cheap hotels here, nor will you find the star ratings you are used to. On the other hand, the advantage and benefit of local hotels is that a regular three-star hotel can be as good as a four-star hotel, and a four-star hotel can be considered a good five-star hotel in terms of service. You won't find poor-quality rooms or bad service here. So feel free to choose accommodation in small hotels near the beach or further away. Even so, the most economical room rates here are around $60.

But it is also quite possible to find and rent a villa costing, say, from $1,500 per day. The most expensive hotels in the resort are located in Volmar, which is often considered part of Flic-en-Flac, although on the map it is already a neighboring town.

The cost of vacation

Vacations on islands like Mauritius are rarely cheap. So don't expect to save much money here. Restaurants, shopping, numerous safaris, diving, and surfing will cost you at least $250–300 per day, even if you are very careful with your spending. This does not include accommodation and flights. So, be prepared to spend at least $1,500 for three to four days of vacation, plus the cost of airfare.

Of course, you can try to find the most economical options, and tripmydream will help you with that. In this case, you can save at least $200–300 on accommodation and food, as well as on flights. There are options, the main thing is to take care of it in advance.
