Flic en Flac — the west coast in full
Flic en Flac is the west coast's answer to Grand Baie — busier and more developed than the quiet fishing villages further south, but nowhere near as commercial as the north. The beach is one of the longest on the island, running for several kilometres along a coastline that faces directly into the afternoon sun. Sunsets here are genuinely spectacular — the kind that stop conversations and make people reach for their phones even when they have been to Mauritius before.
The west coast has a different character to the north. The water is warmer in the afternoon, the reef is accessible from the shore, and the diving around Flic en Flac is consistently rated among the best on the island — particularly the underwater canyon known as La Cathédrale, which sits off the coast near Wolmar and draws serious divers from across Mauritius. The village itself has a good range of restaurants, a handful of supermarkets, and enough activity to keep most visitors busy without the sensory overload of Grand Baie.
Families, couples, divers, and groups of friends all end up in Flic en Flac. The resort hotels here are some of the best on the island — Sugar Beach, La Pirogue, Pearle Beach, and Maradiva are all within a few kilometres of each other and consistently well reviewed. The villa rental market is also strong, particularly for groups who want a self-catering base with beach access.

Is there a taxi from Mauritius airport to Flic en Flac?
Standard airport taxis at SSR will travel to Flic en Flac but with significant limitations for families and groups. Standard taxis are four-seat saloon cars with limited boot space, no child seat provision, no flight tracking, and no confirmed price before you land. You negotiate at the kerb after a long flight with no guarantee of the right vehicle. A pre-booked private transfer with Barefoot Transfers removes every one of these problems — vehicle, price, and driver are all confirmed before you travel.
Do you pick up from all airlines and terminals at SSR?
Yes. SSR International Airport has a single terminal serving all airlines and all international arrivals. Your driver monitors all incoming flights regardless of airline or origin. Meet-and-greet is inside the arrivals hall — you will see your name on a board as you walk through from customs.
Will I share the vehicle with other passengers?
No. Every Barefoot Transfers booking is 100% private. Your vehicle carries only your group. There are no shared transfers, no additional stops, and no detours. You go directly from SSR to your Flic en Flac address.
Can I book a late night or early morning transfer to Flic en Flac?
Yes. Barefoot Transfers operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week including weekends and public holidays. There is no surcharge for late night or early morning transfers. A transfer at 3am costs the same as one at 3pm to the same destination.

For families this is the most reliable transfer option available from SSR to Flic en Flac.
How do I book a return transfer from Flic en Flac to SSR?
Book both legs — arrival and departure — in a single WhatsApp message. Provide your inbound flight details for the arrival transfer and your outbound flight number and departure time for the return. Both are confirmed before you travel and there is nothing to arrange on the ground during your stay.
What is the best time to arrive into Flic en Flac to avoid traffic?
Flights arriving before 6.30am or between 9.30am and 3.30pm give the smoothest transfer through Port Louis. Flights arriving between 6.30am and 9.30am face the longest journey time due to rush hour. If your flight arrives during this window, allow extra time before making plans on arrival day.
