Every car listed for Flic en Flac can be dropped at your hotel or apartment address.
Jump to the resultsWhere the beach road actually leads inland
Flic en Flac itself is essentially one long beach road, the public beach and its casuarina trees on one side, hotels, apartments, supermarkets and restaurants on the other. The reason to have a car is everything within reach of that road.
Casela Nature Parks, a short hop inland
Casela sits just inland from the coast, close enough that it is a morning trip rather than a day given over to travel. It is the obvious choice for a family staying at Flic en Flac who want a few hours away from the beach without giving up the rest of the day.
Chamarel and Black River Gorges, the same road
The climb to Chamarel for the coloured earths and the waterfall, and on to Black River Gorges National Park, sit on one continuous road inland. It is the single best reason to have a car parked outside your hotel rather than book a coach tour: you set the pace and can stop wherever the view opens up.
Tamarin, Black River town and Albion
Tamarin and the town of Black River sit a short drive south along the coast, and Albion with its lighthouse is a similar distance to the north. Both make an easy half day out from Flic en Flac without touching the road inland at all.
Handover, parking and the practical stuff
Handover on the beach road
One hundred and thirty nine cars are currently listed for delivery to Flic en Flac, tied with Belle Mare for the highest count on the island, so a supplier meeting you at your hotel or apartment here is the routine, not the exception. Confirm the exact meeting point in the booking chat once your dates are set.
Wolmar is its own conversation
The southern end of the Flic en Flac strip, where several of the larger resorts sit, is close enough to feel like the same town but far enough that a supplier may treat it as a separate stop. Say "Wolmar" specifically when you book rather than assuming it is covered by a Flic en Flac delivery.
Parking eases off by mid-morning
The beach road has on-street parking and space along the side roads running down to it, and it is easiest early in the day. On a weekend afternoon, when Mauritian families come out to the public beach under the casuarina trees, the same stretch fills up and finding a spot near your hotel takes patience.
Fifty minutes from the airport
SSR International is on the opposite side of the island, in the south east, and the drive across to Flic en Flac runs close to fifty minutes outside the Port Louis rush. It is one of the longer resort transfers on this site, which is part of why guests here tend to keep the car for the whole stay rather than book it later.
What guests found once they picked up the keys
“We picked the car up at our apartment on the beach road and were parked at Casela within twenty minutes. Nobody mentioned a deposit at any point, which is exactly what the listing said.”
“The climb up to Chamarel from Flic en Flac is worth doing slowly. We stopped twice for the view back down to the coast and still made the waterfall before the coach groups arrived.”
“Parking on the beach road on our first Saturday afternoon took three passes to find a spot. Every other day of the week it was fine right outside the apartment.”
The sunset side, and why people choose it
Flic en Flac faces west, which is the practical reason so many visitors pick it over the north or east coasts: the sun goes down over the water here rather than behind the hotel. It is also the reason the beach road is genuinely busy at six in the evening, with everyone from the strip walking or driving down for the same view.
Having your own car makes that hour easier rather than harder. You can park once near your hotel and walk the last stretch, or drive a little further south to a quieter part of the beach if the main stretch is full. Either way, the car is what turns "we should watch the sunset" into something you actually do most evenings rather than once.
The beach road at a glance
- One long road, hotels and shops on the inland side, beach on the other.
- On-street parking and side streets down to the sand, easiest before midday.
- Supermarkets on the main stretch, useful from the first day of a self-catering stay.
- West-facing beach, so the road fills up again around six in the evening.
The road inland, from beach road to coloured earth
One road, taken slowly, covers the whole change in scenery. Times are one way from the beach road, outside the morning rush.
Leaving the beach road
The road turns inland past the last of the hotels and the fields start almost immediately.
Sugar cane gives way to forest
Within a few minutes the flat cane fields end and the road starts to climb through denser green. This stretch is the honest reason Flic en Flac makes a good base: the whole island's interior opens up from one turn.
Chamarel: coloured earths and the waterfall
Around half an hour up from the coast. Both sights sit close together and are worth the whole morning rather than a quick stop.
Black River Gorges National Park
A short continuation along the same road, with viewpoints over the forest canopy that most coach tours skip in favour of Chamarel alone.

Book nowQuestions before you book in Flic en Flac
Almost always at the hotel or apartment address you give when you book, since Flic en Flac is one of the two highest delivery counts on the island for exactly that reason. The one exception worth naming is Wolmar at the southern end of the strip: confirm that meeting point specifically rather than assuming it is covered the same way as the main beach road.
Not on a weekday morning, when the on-street spaces and side roads down to the beach are easy to use. It gets noticeably tighter on a weekend afternoon, once the public beach under the casuarina trees fills with local families, so plan an evening arrival back at the hotel with a little patience or an earlier return.
Chamarel, for the coloured earths and the waterfall, is roughly half an hour up from the coast, and Black River Gorges National Park sits a short distance further along the same road. Both are on one loop rather than two separate trips, and the road climbs quickly once it leaves the coast.
Yes, if anything more than at the main strip. Wolmar sits at the southern end of the beach road, a short drive from the shops and restaurants on the main stretch, and it is far enough from Casela, Tamarin and the road up to Chamarel that a car rather than a taxi is the practical way to reach any of them.
About fifty minutes each way outside the Port Louis rush, since the airport sits on the opposite side of the island in the south east. Yes, plenty of suppliers list an airport drop-off as an option alongside the west coast pickup, so you can start the hire at your hotel and end it at the terminal.
