Tropical island chic has a new name: Long Beach Mauritius. Perched on the blonde sands of Belle Mare on the African island’s east coast, the contemporary five-star resort delivers equal measures of relaxation and recreation across 60 acres of tropical gardens. With a colourful coral reef and picturesque beach as a backdrop and five-star facilities as standard, it caters to every type of adventure.
You’ll be spoilt for choice at every turn at Long Beach Mauritius, with five restaurants, four pools, countless leisure activities and a serene, European-inspired spa at your fingertips. Design each day as you please: take to the water for snorkelling, windsurfing or kayaking, or work up a sweat at the state-of-the-art gym, tennis or badminton courts. Keen golfers can tee off at Ill aux Cerfs, an 18-hole panoramic course, or work their way through the green of Anahita, designed by former world number one player, Ernie Els. Long Beach isn’t just a playground for the adults: art and DJ classes involve the whole family, while Sun Kids club is home to indoor and outdoor play areas, a kids’ pool and a jam-packed program of painting, yoga, cooking classes and more. Alfresco dining is the cherry on top: every evening, take your pick of Italian, Japanese, Asian or international show kitchens, placed around the central piazza.
