For the perfect winter sun getaway, look no further than Sunlife resorts in Mauritius, with an array of activities, events, and outdoor excursions for all to enjoy. Mauritius is known for its sub-tropical climate and with temperatures staying firmly in the 20s from October-March and the sea never dropping below 23°c, the chilly UK winter is the ideal time to take advantage of the blissfully warm waters of the Indian Ocean.
Luxury Resorts
Made up of four luxury hotels in Mauritius: five-star Sugar Beach, five-star Long Beach, four-star La Pirogue, and four-star Ambre along with private island Ile Aux Cerfs, Sunlife has a resort for everyone. Sugar Beach is a Manor style resort matching vintage splendor with modern amenities, a few minutes’ walk up the beach is La Pirogue which offers an authentic Mauritian experience with palm thatched bungalows and a beachside coconut grove. Over on the east coast set on an expansive stretch of Belle Mare beach you’ll find the sleek modern resort of Long Beach which offers sunrise kayaking and the choice of three outdoor pools. Also, on the east coast of the island, for couples looking to be undisturbed, there’s adult-only Ambre.
Fresh fusion food
Mauritian cuisine is a melting pot of European and African influences and punchy Asian flavors. Thousands of people visit the bustling Central Market in the capital Port Louis daily in order to search for a global array of produce. This fantastic mosaic of cultures and traditions is embraced across all Sunlife resorts with their varied and experimental range of restaurants that offer dishes bursting with flavor such as Hasu at Long Beach which serves world-class authentic Japanese cuisine using seasonal ingredients. At La Pirogue guests can experience authentic Mauritian dishes at Coconut Café or try their hand at creating some of the local dishes by popping into the restaurant for cooking classes. At Sugar Beach guests are given the opportunity to journey through the rich history of Mauritian tea rituals at the Sugar Beach Tea Lounge.
Family fun
Mauritius’ shallow waters and coral reef make for incredible water experiences available to all the family, so even the youngest can try their hand at kayaking, snorkelling or windsurfing. Sugar Beach guests are encouraged to head over to neighbouring La Pirogue to also make use of their non-motorized water sports, including pedal boats and stand-up paddle boards. Adventure seekers can venture further into the deep waters and explore the beautiful coastline on a catamaran day cruise, to discover Benitiers Island or to spot dolphins in their natural habitat.
Relax and unwind
After a day spent on the water, Sugar Beach and Long Beach guests can unwind at the world renowned Cinq Mondes Spa where they can indulge in ritualistic ceremonies, ancient healing techniques, exceptional massages and an array of beauty treatments. With 6 single treatment rooms, 2 double treatment rooms, a hairdresser and 2 bridal suites, Cinq Mondes Spa offers a complete service for anyone seeking to rejuvenate their senses.
