Mauritius' Long Beach Hotel is the perfect getaway

If you want a tropical vacation that is sure to make all your friends jealous, head to Mauritius. The sparkling turquoise waters, swaying palm trees and luxurious resorts come together to create an idyllic destination for travelers who want the ultimate beach getaway, and all of the amenities packed onto the island mean guests never have to step foot off the grounds of their resort. 

The Long Beach is the premier luxury hotel on Mauritius. Inspired by Italian architecture and the laid-back Mediterranean lifestyle, the resort boasts contemporary decorations, beautiful gardens and, of course, breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean. There are also three world class restaurants in the hotel, providing guests with fresh produce, seafood and all kinds of Asian cuisine throughout the day. 

Spending days on the beach may seem like the ultimate in relaxation, but one trip to the Long Beach’s spa will quickly bring your rejuvenation to new heights. With a full selection of facials, massages and other treatments, guests can choose from a number of excellent sessions for even more pampering. 

While you’re enjoying your stay at the Long Beach, you can lounge by the pool with a refreshing drink in hand, as the hotel offers poolside alcoholic milkshakes for its guests thanks to the addition of a new Milkshake Bar. You can enjoy the warm ocean breeze as you sip on concoctions like the Hazel Paradise, which is made with vanilla ice cream, hazelnut and Belvedere Pure, or the For Goodness Shake, which boasts Pink Grapefruit Belvedere and Nutella. 

Travelers who want to find some thrills during their vacation can jump straight into the water and partake in some of the many water sports offered. Leisurely bike trips or visits to local markets are also popular activities that can bring you to different parts of the island without having to venture too far from the hotel.Â
