MAURITIUS
WHERE TO STAY
Iga stayed at four World Leisure Holidays affiliated resorts around the island to get a sense of Mauritius’ diversity.
Sugar Beach Golf and Resort Spa
Sun Resorts’ Sugar Beach and La Pirogue Resort and Spa, which neighbour each other on the western coast, are blanketed in palm trees and indigenous vegetation to give them that tropical paradise vibe you’ re after. This plantation-style resort is sandwiched between a lagoon and the ocean and while it welcomes families and honeymooners, there are sections that are solely reserved for love birds. All guests receive complimentary access to the 18-hole Tamarina Golf Course, which is only a five-minute drive away.
Ambre Resort and Spa
This all-inclusive, adults-only resort is attractive to honeymooners and couples for its relaxing atmosphere. The infinity pool beckons you to take a dip on arrival, unless you prefer the various water sports on offer, or want to work out at the fully-equipped gym instead. Sun Resorts’ leisure island Ile aux Cerfs – a short drive and boat ride from Ambre and nearby Long Beach – is one of the most visited attractions in Mauritius. Here you can tee off at one of the world’ s most beautiful golf courses, an 18-hole, 72-par course designed by Bernhard Langer, or go parasailing, tubing and test the horsepower on a speed boat. Later, eat at one of the three restaurants or two bars.
La Pirogue Resort and Spa
La Pirogue captures the genuine spirit of Mauritius with its newly renovated thatch-roofed bungalows in the shape of the billowing sails of a pirogue, along the sunset coast. The rooms are set in a circular shape within tropical gardens, each with an ocean view. La Pirogue is asked for by name when it comes to its al fresco seafood grill on the beach, accompanied by sensual sega dance performances. Guests are welcome to use the facilities and eat at the restaurants at the adjoining Sugar Beach Resort.
Long Beach Golf and Spa Resort
This resort is situated along the famous Belle Mare beach and is ideal for those looking to re-energise with its many sports, activities and water sports on offer. It’ s perfect for younger travellers or families wanting an active holiday that offers something for everyone. The kiddies and teens clubs will keep the youngsters busy with stimulating activities while mom and dad get some downtime. With five restaurants that offer a selection of Italian, Japanese, Chinese and Mauritian cuisine alongside cosmopolitan flavours you’ ll barely have enough time to work up an appetite.
World Leisure Holidays offers holiday packages at 24 hotels and resorts on Mauritius( ranging from three- to fivestar properties) for couples or families.
