About Sofitel Mauritius L'Impérial Resort & Spa
- Flic en Flac's name is a direct linguistic fossil of the Dutch colonial era: 'Fried Landt Flaak' — free, flat land — dates to when the Dutch East India Company held Mauritius as a provisioning stopover between 1638 and 1710, before France took formal possession and renamed the island 'Île de France'.
- At 372 rooms, L'Impérial is the largest resort in this Mauritius set and one of the bigger properties on the west coast, occupying the Wolmar section of Flic en Flac's 8-kilometre beach — the west coast receives reliably calm, sheltered water because the prevailing south-easterly trade winds strike the east coast.
- 20 km from Rempart Mountain.
History
Sofitel Mauritius L'Impérial Resort & Spa is a beachfront resort on the western coast of Mauritius at Flic en Flac, one of the island's most sought-after beach areas. The resort's name references imperial grandeur, befitting Mauritius's French colonial heritage — the island was a French colony called 'Île de France' from 1715 to 1810. The 372-room resort features the Sofitel Spa with L'Occitane, multiple pools, and a private beach on the azure lagoon. Mauritius's exclusivity as a luxury island destination and strong Franco-Mauritian cultural ties make it a natural fit for the Sofitel brand.
