THE EDGE OF PARADISE
Long Beach is a major new resort opening on the east coast of
Mauritius in 2011. It brings carefree piazza-style living to the
longest and widest stretch of white-sand coastline of any Mauritian
resort. Beyond the beach, the tropical lagoon with its crystal clear
blue waters and rare coral formations is a snorkelling paradise.
The
focus of the resort’s layout and its life is the urban-style piazza
with restaurants, shops and bars. Architecture brings tropical
interpretations to contemporary urban themes, softened by natural
forms, local detailing and materials. Buildings integrate with the
resorts extensive lush tropical gardens. A unique architectural
feature is the adjustable “wind breaks” that modulate the offshore
breezes.
Long Beach is being developed by Sun Resorts, which also
owns and operates Sugar Beach and La Pirogue, sister resorts on the
west coast. Sun Resorts’ five-star properties are Le Touessrok on
the east coast of Mauritius and Kanuhura in the Maldives.
