Long Beach: the new 5* luxury hideaway in Mauritius

Newcomer on the Pearl of the Indian Ocean, Mauritius, the Long Beach opens its doors just in time to celebrate the arrival of spring. Between design and tropical influences, the brand new five star hotel is likely to be ranked soon amongst the best addresses of the isle.


After the Touessrok 5* Luxe, the Sugar Beach 5*,La Pirogue 4* and a 5* in the Maldives (the Kanuhura), Sun Resorts opens a new luxury hotel in the Indian Ocean. Welcome to Long Beach, latest jewel in the group! An upbeat resort that has a powerful urban feel balanced by the relaxed, natural vibe of the landscape, beach and ocean. The architecture of Long Beach combines tropical interpretations with a contemporary urban style softened by natural forms and the use of typical Mauritian local materials. The luscious gardens, totalling almost 500,000 plants, with 26 varieties of endemic species, are a key feature of the resort. A great accomplishment of the Bensley Design Studios, visibly inspired by the opulent beauty of the Belle Mare peninsula.



Long Beach discovery ...

Right in the heart of the East coast of Mauritius, the Long Beach features 255 rooms, all with sea views, but also five restaurants and a multitude of services and facilities. The hotel breathes an Italian atmosphere, with a central Piazza, surrounded by restaurants and bars next to the spectacular coastline with 700 meters long and 40 metres wide white-sandy beaches. The adjacent lagoon, sheltered by a constellation of rare coral formations harbouring rich underwater fauna, is a snorkelling and water sports paradise. A good reason to fly off to Mauritius and discover this secret spot on the island before anyone else …
