Long Beach is to be found on Mauritius’ east coast, on the Belle Mare Peninsula, where a powerful urban feel meets the ultimate in ocean, beach and indulgence ensuring a luxury holiday in Mauritius. Long Beach is a first in Mauritian holiday-making: an upbeat beach resort – vibrant, chic and playful – that is equally the embodiment of fresh and carefree beach living and the ideal solution for incentive trips, conferences and groups. Long Beach is light-hearted. It is sea views from every spot and home to a tropical lagoon where a constellation of rare coral formations houses a rich underwater world. Long Beach is known for the longest, widest stretch of white-sand coastline of any Mauritian beach resort to date, and offers 109m² of beach space per room, giving you unequalled accomodation.

This holiday beach resort is perfect integration between inside and outside, achieving a harmony and a balance that are entirely unique to a beach holiday resort in Mauritius. In every way, Long Beach Hotel is an absolute original.

  • Constance Belle Mare Plage The Legend

    ‘The Legend’, designed by South African champion, Hugh Baiocchi, is the crowning achievement of Constance Belle Mare Plage. Each hole has its own distinctive characteristics, with many a surprise in store. Superb fairways are laid-out in the heart of an indigenous forest, culminating in perfect greens built to USPGA specifications. In an effort to provide the quintessential golfing location, all 18 greens were rebuilt using Tif Dwarf grasses to ensure a perfect surface. Time has also been taken to enhance the natural beauty of the site. Teeing off from the 17th hole (par 3) is a feast for the eyes and a test for the nerves.

  • The Links

    The second Belle Mare Plage Championship Golf Course, designed by Rodney Wright and Peter Allis opened in November 2002. This 18-hole Links course was conceived as a result of the success and demands encountered by Hotels Constance’s first course, ‘The Legend’. Sitting beneath the clubhouse which faces the setting sun, the course measures 5,942 m and is a Par 71. Equipped with a practice fairway, this 18-hole course is set in a location which seems to have been naturally created for the purpose of an exciting days golfing.

  • Golf du Château

    Situated between the mountains and the sea in an undulating landscape interspersed with lakes, streams and tropical trees, this Par 72 championship course is both technically challenging and varied. The architects have elegantly integrated the two water courses that cross Golf du Château creating small lakes which enhance the demands made on technique, yet fully respecting the harmony and tranquillity of the surroundings. They have also integrated the magnificent Château of Bel Ombre and its gardens into the design of the golf course.

    “Golf du Château” consists of: two 9-hole courses.9 hole outside course 3,210m, 9 hole inside course is 3,297m, 3 by 3 vary from 140m to 200m, 4 by 4 from 320m to 430m, 4 by 5 from 490m to 520m.

This 9-hole gem is unique to Mauritius as Le Saint Géran is the only course employing local grass on the fairways and greens.

Armies of coconut and palm trees frame the course with the shimmering azure of the Indian Ocean offering an eye-catching backdrop. There are a number of natural waterways strategically placed around the course creating a picturesque challenge for pros and beginners alike.

The course, designed by Bernard Langer, covers 38 hectares and is the second longest in Mauritius, with holes snaking up and down the length of the island. All 18 holes have views of the ocean – some with glimpses across clearings through the trees; others by coming close to the shore. Facilities such as the Club House, restaurant, on-course refreshments, caddies, golf carts, locker rooms, bag storage clubs and shoe rental are available. And for those who feel their game might need some fine-tuning, Le Touessrok Golf Academy and practice area offers appropriate courses.

  • Paradis Golf Club Paradis

    This ranks among the most spectacular on the island. The 18-hole Par 72 stretches to the foot of Le Morne Mountain and curls back along the edge of a peaceful lagoon. The greens are planted with Seashore Paspalum, an ideal turf for the tropics. The last 9 holes spread along the coastline and 5 water obstacles offer a tranquil challenge to all.

  • Shandrani

    Shandrani features a 768-metre golf course, which runs along the banks of the lagoon, ensconced by a beautiful 50-acre tropical garden. With a “tee-off” located 100 metres away from the beach, this course is both stimulating and fun. The difficulty resides in its small size, which best suits calculated and accurate swings.

Offering a welcome as warm as the sun, La Pirogue typifies the Mauritian experience: deeply enigmatic, exquisitely tranquil, delightfully friendly and filled with endless fun.

La Pirogue is true Mauritius: blues and greens and golds and pale shades of white, splashed with tropical colour. It is open skies and flowing water, tall swaying palms and silky sand.

La Pirogue is beautiful nights and elaborate culture. It is smiles and dancing and joy and music and pleasure and star-filled skies, garnished with attentiveness and generosity.

La Pirogue is a harmonious combination of sun-drenched loungers, poolside decks, open areas and intimate spots. It is everything a family could wish for; everything a couple could dream of.

Accommodation:

La Pirogue is an ode to the island’s fishing culture, enhanced by the rustic charm of volcanic rock, warm wood, thatch, coral and vanilla. It is unique in its style, design and décor.

Opening onto an inviting palm grove of over 1 000 coconut trees and warmed by the breath of millions of white frangipani, La Pirogue’s range of ground-level standard rooms, superior rooms and royal suites are both spacious and deeply charming; both romantic and family-friendly.

With all of the authentic beauty of a genuine Mauritian pirogue; all of the luxury you’d expect; and all of the special touches you’d never anticipate, this is an exceptional resort.

Each hole has its own distinctive characteristics, with many a surprise in store. Superb fairways are laid-out in the heart of an indigenous forest, culminating in perfect greens built to USPGA specifications. In an effort to provide the quintessential golfing location, all 18 greens were rebuilt using Tif Dwarf grasses to ensure a perfect surface. Time has also been taken to enhance the natural beauty of the site. Teeing off from the 17th hole (par 3) is a feast for the eyes and a test for the nerves.

  • The Links

    The second Belle Mare Plage Championship Golf Course, designed by Rodney Wright and Peter Allis opened in November 2002. This 18-hole Links course was conceived as a result of the success and demands encountered by Hotels Constance’s first course, ‘The Legend’. Sitting beneath the clubhouse which faces the setting sun, the course measures 5,942 m and is a Par 71. Equipped with a practice fairway, this 18-hole course is set in a location which seems to have been naturally created for the purpose of an exciting days golfing.

The architects have elegantly integrated the two water courses that cross Golf du Château creating small lakes which enhance the demands made on technique, yet fully respecting the harmony and tranquillity of the surroundings.
