Flacq Essentials

Flacq encompasses the eastern edge of Mauritius, featuring the 18-hole Legend Golf Course and the expansive white sands of Belle Mare. The region is home to the island's largest open-air market and the volcanic cave of Pont Bon Dieu. Offshore, the lagoon surrounding Île aux Cerfs provides shallow waters for snorkeling, while the Sagar Shiv Mandir temple sits on a small island connected by a bridge. Inland, the Domaine de l'Etoile covers 1,200 hectares of protected forest and former sugar estate land.
