Sugar Beach Mauritius, part of Sun Resorts, is delighted to introduce a new beachside restaurant and bar: Buddha-Bar Beach by Buddha-Bar, providing a chic hot spot on the island for discerning jet setters. Located on one of the finest beaches in Mauritius, with the gentle ocean lapping the shore just a stone’s throw away, Buddha-Bar Beach will be the ultimate location for relaxing with powder-fine white sand between your toes, sipping a tropical cocktail whist listening to Buddha-Bar’s signature beats – this is every escapist’s paradise.

The Buddha-Bar partnership with the five-star Sugar Beach resort marks the debut of the brand to the shores of Mauritius.

Unfurling along the sun-drenched, sheltered bay of Flic-en-Flac, bordered by crystalline waters and manicured gardens, Sugar Beach Mauritius is committed to providing Timeless Memories for guests ­- creating bespoke and unforgettable experiences, with the new Buddha-Bar Beach concept adding to an already extensive offering setting the scene for adventures in paradise, from water sports to calming sunrise yoga.

The design of Buddha-Bar Beach by Buddha-Bar combines colourful bohemian beach-chic and natural elements such as wood, water and stones, with the glitz and glamour of the original beach destination hang-outs of the 1980s, Ibiza and Goa, creating the ultimate Instagram-worthy spot blended seamlessly with the picturesque grounds of Sugar Beach. The Buddha-Bar Beach experience is much more than simply a restaurant or bar; guests can enjoy an all-encompassing experience for all the senses whilst enjoying phenomenal natural surroundings. Partake in artfully created cocktail masterpieces, indulge in a sumptuous meal and embrace the vibrant atmosphere enhanced by the famous Buddha-Bar soundtrack -­ a subtle avant-garde mix of lounge and house music combined with local beats, making the perfect backdrop for an exceptional holiday.

Gastronomes will not be disappointed as the exciting and contemporary fusion menu will serve up something to delight everyone’s taste-buds, uniquely influenced by both Asian and Mediterranean cuisine. Flavours of the East are expertly balanced with those of the West to create fusion dishes that are as delicious as they are stunning. All dishes are prepared ‘Family Style’, designed for sharing. Masterfully blending fine ingredients and spices, Chinese and Japanese cuisine is combined subtly with Mediterranean flavours, as well as fresh seafood and local delicacies – ­from sushi, ceviche and shellfish to king prawns, deep-fried lobster dumplings, prawn tempura, salmon and black cod -­ all using the finest and freshest ingredients around.

Mixology also plays a central role in the Buddha-Bar Beach experience and guests can expect a huge array of sensational cocktails and mocktails. Created to appeal to all five of the senses, sublime essences and exotic spices from around the globe are used to create phenomenal concoctions. Staff at Buddha-Bar Beach at Sugar Beach will not only have the five-star training of Sugar Beach, but will also be trained by the Buddha-Bar experts themselves, ensuring the signature sensory brand experiences are the same the world over. Whet the palate with the extensive repertoire of signature Buddha-Bar Beach mocktails and cocktails including the #MojitoBBBeach (Special BBB mix rum, fresh mint and fresh grapefruit), or Make a Wish Mauritius which features local Mauritian rum alongside hibiscus/lemongrass, lime juice, passion fruit and ginger ale – the island experience will be picture-perfect with one of these works of art in hand.
