Our villas and apartments for rent near Flic en Flac
Comfort and a perfect location
Flic en Flac is the long stretch of white sand everyone pictures when they think of Mauritius’s west coast: a calm lagoon, casuarina trees for shade, and that sunset that repaints the sea every evening. To enjoy it without the roadside crowds, our villa rental sits a little further south in Black River, close enough for a morning swim at Flic en Flac beach, far enough away to come home to peace and quiet in the evening, with a private pool all to yourselves.

Our properties aren’t hotel rooms lined up side by side. They’re real villas, each with its own garden, private pool and fully equipped kitchen, designed to feel like home. Depending on the size of your group, you can choose a three-, four- or five-bedroom villa, or a more compact apartment for couples. Come with family or friends, spread out, have breakfast on the terrace overlooking the garden, with the whole west coast of Mauritius just a short drive away.

Hotel comfort, villa freedom
In every villa, the essentials are included from the very first night, and everything else can be added à la carte. Five principles guide what we do every day:
- Tailor-made: we plan your outings, excursions and meals around your pace, not the other way round.
- Feel at home: a villa you actually live in, with a garden and private pool, not a showroom.
- Authenticity: the spots, beaches and restaurants Mauritians themselves go to, in Flic en Flac and beyond.
- Ethics: a way of working that respects our team and the island.
- Privacy: your own space, your own pool, your own peace and quiet.
Cleaning, linen, wifi and all villa amenities are included in the price. A private chef, airport transfers, car hire or excursions can be added on request, with no surprises on the bill.
Why choose a villa near Flic en Flac over a hotel?
In Flic en Flac, the public beach fills up fast at weekends, when Mauritian families come to picnic under the casuarinas, which is quite a sight in itself. But on holiday, many travellers would rather have a place of their own. A villa with a private pool means a living room to gather in, a kitchen to cook a fish curry with your catch from the market, a bedroom for everyone, a garden for the kids, and nobody asking you to vacate by noon.
On budget, the maths is simple: for a similar average price, a villa rental gives you far more space than a hotel room, especially for a family or a group. What you lose in distance from the sand, around fifteen minutes in this case, you gain in freedom and square metres. And the private pool is yours all day, at any hour.
Thoughtful concierge service, always ready to help
Fancy a catamaran trip to Tamarin to see the dolphins at sunrise? A private chef at the villa for a Creole dinner? A massage after a day of snorkelling on the west coast? Our concierge team takes care of it, seven days a week. We know the best skippers, the Flic en Flac restaurants worth the trip and the quiet corners of the lagoon that are still undiscovered, so you might as well make the most of them during your stay.
A warm welcome, not just a handover of keys
When you arrive at the villa, we take our time. We’ll show you around, explain how the pool pump works, tell you where to buy bread and, in season, lychees, and which beach is most sheltered depending on the day’s wind. That’s how we do things in Mauritius: to pou bien isi, you’ll feel at home here.
Flic en Flac, at the heart of Mauritius’s west coast
The west of Mauritius is sunset country, where mountains plunge into the lagoon and the pace is more laid-back than in the north. Here’s how to make the most of it from our villas.
The best beaches around Flic en Flac
Flic en Flac beach itself, long and easy-going, perfect for a family swim. Further south, Wolmar and its turquoise waters in front of the big hotels. In Black River, quieter coves just a stone’s throw from our villas. And for a change of scenery, the Le Morne peninsula and its picture-postcard lagoon, about forty-five minutes down the west coast.
Water sports not to miss
Snorkelling at the Flic en Flac pass, where the coral reef opens onto the deep blue; scuba diving, renowned all along this coast; dolphin trips off Tamarin and Black River; kayaking on the lagoon in the early morning. Big-game fishing enthusiasts head out from Black River, one of the Indian Ocean’s top spots for marlin. Back at the villa, the private pool is your reward.
Restaurants, markets and nightlife
Dine with your feet in the sand as the sun goes down, try grilled fish at a beach shack in Flic en Flac, and pick up fresh produce at the Flic en Flac or Black River market to cook at the villa. In the evening, the west coast stays relaxed: a drink on a terrace, a séga night, and the sound of the waves to send you to sleep.
When to go
From May to November, the west is dry and sunny with mild temperatures, the best time for the beach and boat trips. From December to April, it’s hotter and more humid, but the mornings are still glorious and rental prices are often lower. In Flic en Flac, the sun sets over the sea all year round: a moment not to be missed on your Mauritius holiday.
That just leaves getting around, from airport transfers to car hire and taxis.
Book your villa rental in Flic en Flac
Planning your stay couldn’t be easier: we’ll send you our current offers, availability for each villa and a full breakdown of what’s included in the price. You can confirm your booking online or by phone, with someone who knows the west coast inside out. Unlike a traditional hotel, here you book an entire property, whether a luxury villa with a private pool or a cosier apartment for two, and our whole team remains on hand throughout your stay in Mauritius.
Guest Reviews
Our villas have an average rating of 9.3 out of 10, calculated from all customer reviews collected since 2017, reflecting around a decade of hospitality in Mauritius. Most of our clients return within three years of their first rental. Here are some detailed testimonials from our clients.
After ten years of hotels in Mauritius, we made the leap to a private villa with MJ Holidays. The difference is dramatic: we cook when we want, the kids have their own space, the concierge handles logistics without disturbing our privacy. The value clearly beats any 5-star all-inclusive.
At 67, you always fear that a villa rental is designed only for young active travellers. MJ Holidays proved us wrong: chauffeur-driven transfers, guided hikes paced to our rhythm, a private chef dinner at the villa for our wedding anniversary. A human attention that many places have lost.
