Sugar Beach Wins ‘Mauritius Leading Beach Resort’ for Eighth Straight Year

Sugar Beach has just achieved something exceptional: the five-star resort won the Mauritius Leading Beach Resort title at the 2026 World Travel Awards, making this its eighth consecutive victory. If you’re dreaming of a stay on one of the island’s finest stretches of sand, this result sends a clear message, Sugar Beach in Flic en Flac keeps setting the standard for luxury beachfront holidays in Mauritius.

• Award: Mauritius Leading Beach Resort 2026
• Hotel: Sugar Beach (Flic en Flac, west coast)
• Awarding body: World Travel Awards
• Number of consecutive wins: 8
• Date of award ceremony: September 27, 2026 (at CROSSROADS Maldives)

Why Sugar Beach Stands Out as Mauritius Leading Beach Resort

The World Travel Awards, founded in 1993, recognise top travel, tourism, and hospitality brands each year throughout the world. The fact that Sugar Beach has now claimed their ‘Mauritius Leading Beach Resort’ title for eight years running is no small feat. It means visitors continue to rate both the hotel and the experience highly time after time.

Located on Flic en Flac’s famous west coast beach, Sugar Beach offers 238 rooms and suites spread between lush gardens and its signature plantation-style manor. Every corner feels designed for both relaxation and pleasure, with sunset views that linger in memory long after check-out.

Facilities and Experiences at Sugar Beach

Guests are treated to a broad mix of water sports, including complimentary kayaking, windsurfing, stand-up paddleboarding, and snorkelling. The resort’s “Come Alive Collection” curates special activities and events, delivering a little extra excitement for both families and couples. Sugar Beach guests also have full access to the neighbouring La Pirogue’s restaurants, bars, and amenities, which means double the options without ever leaving this stretch of sand.

Want the full experience for yourself? Book directly at Sugar Beach. If you’re visiting during the dry, cooler season (like right now in October, with the European summer winding down but Mauritian weather staying mild and perfect for the beach), you’ll enjoy sunbathing, swims, or sunset cocktails in comfort. Crowds are usually lighter outside school holidays, and the west coast often sees less rain than the central plateau.

Mauritius: Award-Winning for a Reason

Winning the ‘Mauritius Leading Beach Resort’ eight times in a row really highlights how Mauritius keeps its travel promise. The island was also recognised as Indian Ocean’s Leading Wedding Destination this year, strengthening the whole region’s claim as a luxury holiday spot with depth, beauty, and service. Graham Cooke, founder of the World Travel Awards, commented that celebrating tourism leaders in the Indian Ocean is about recognising excellence. That describes Sugar Beach perfectly.
