Ilot Flamants

Ilot Flamants is a small sandbank-style islet in the south-east lagoon of Mauritius, known for its shallow turquoise water, bright sand and peaceful ocean scenery. Located in the Grand Port area, it is often visited during south-east lagoon boat tours and island-hopping excursions, offering travellers a beautiful stop for swimming, photos and relaxing in clear tropical water. Unlike larger islands such as Île aux Cerfs or Île aux Aigrettes, Îlot Flamants feels simple, natural and untouched. There are no major facilities, which is part of its charm. It is best enjoyed as a short scenic stop during a boat trip, especially for couples, families, photographers and repeat travellers looking for a quieter lagoon experience in Mauritius.
