From carefree, elegant Long Beach to sheltered Ambre, this island jewel in the Indian ocean offers a treasure-trove of luxury holiday experiences A s the name suggests, Long Beach is to be found on an impressively long stretch of sugar-white sand on the quieter east coast of Mauritius. It would be perfectly easy to spend a holiday right here, while beach butlers fetch you cocktails and polish sunglasses. This is a veritable playground in the sun, however – a place for active relaxation. Itchy footed holidaymakers and their offspring can paddleboard, go on sunrise or sunset kayaking trips, sail or parasail. The coral reef offshore ensures superlative diving and snorkelling too. On land, there's football or tennis, cycling tours, nature walks, a climbing wall to negotiate, and archery to master. Gym bunnies can work out in the fitness centre and join in with group workouts. Four pools will suit your mood and whatever vibe you're looking for. They include a lap pool for those who actually want to swim.
