Long Beach Mauritius: I had a week in paradise staying at the five-star luxury resort - with long white-sand beach, spa, and infinity pool

The Long Beach resort was only around an hours drive from the airport and once I arrived at the resort I was blown away. All around me were palm trees, the view of the Indian Ocean, blue skies up above me and a warm breeze - the perfect escape from the rain and wintry weather back home in the UK.

Mauritius has always been a bucket list destination of mine, and it did not disappoint - helped by staying at the breath-taking Long Beach resort. It is five-stars for a reason. The service is amazing, the staff are so friendly, you are treated to entertainment every night, a variety of restaurants and more. The resort has everything you could ever want.
