Immersive Experiences with the Come Alive Collection
Sunlife is about creating the optimum holiday experience, and each resort boasts its own curated range of experiences known as the Come Alive Collection, specially designed to deliver the ultimate holiday.

Long Beach
True to its name, Long Beach fringes Mauritius’ world-famous coastline, situated on the longest and widest stretch of white-sand coastline of any Mauritian resort at 1.3km long.
Located in Belle Mare, Long Beach was designed as a modern Mauritian beach house with fresh whites, driftwood tones, grey stonework, and clean lines. The hotel offers three outdoor pools dotted around the garden-filled grounds, one of which is an infinity pool for adults only.
There are five restaurants and five bars on hand for cocktails at sunset. The rooms at Long Beach have recently been meticulously redesigned to immerse guests in the surrounding natural splendour.

The bohemian village of La Pirogue was the first hotel to open on Mauritius’ west coast, also known as the Sunset Coast, in 1976. It embodies warm, welcoming Mauritian hospitality and culture, renowned for its exotic gardens blending the beauty of nature with luxury.
Capturing the magic of Mauritius, the resort resembles a traditional fishing village with thatched bungalows reminiscent of traditional pirogue canoes, crafted from wood and volcanic rock, housing the resort’s 248 rooms.
Travellers have the opportunity to embark on a culinary journey from Mauritian specialities to Asian favourites. Meanwhile, Le Morne Beach Bar offers guests the opportunity to lounge on the white sand beach with a frozen Margherita and the soft sound of reggae and Sega drifting through the air.
