Sunlife, one of Mauritius’ renowned hotel brands, formerly known as Sun Resorts, has been at the forefront of tourism for nearly 50 years.
With a deep commitment to wellness, Sunlife offers a range of luxurious retreats and experiences across its four Mauritius resorts: Sugar Beach, Long Beach, La Pirogue, and Ambre.
As the demand for wellness travel continues to rise, Sunlife recognizes the importance of nurturing both the physical and emotional health of its guests. In anticipation of Global Wellness Day in June, let’s explore how Sunlife’s holistic approach to wellbeing sets it apart as an oasis of tranquillity.
Wellness at Sunlife: A 360-Degree Approach
Cinq Mondes Spa: An Oasis of Serenity
At Long Beach and Sugar Beach, guests can immerse themselves in the sanctuary of Cinq Mondes Spas. Nestled away from the bustling areas of the hotels, these spas offer a serene haven surrounded by crystal-clear waters.
Drawing inspiration from various cultures, including Thailand, Indonesia, Japan, Morocco, Syria, and Brazil, Cinq Mondes Spa delivers a comprehensive range of beauty rituals. From nourishing facials and body wraps to soothing outdoor beach massages, guests can indulge in a world of serenity and relaxation.
Beauty Bubble at Sugar Beach: Where Pampering Meets Playfulness
As part of Sunlife’s recent transformation, the ‘Come Alive Collection’ showcases the unique offerings of each resort. At Sugar Beach, guests can enjoy the Beauty Bubble, a beachside haven that transitions from a nail bar during the day to a spa by night. This original concept combines pampering treatments with a touch of playfulness. From wind-down massages to glamorous hair and makeup services, the Beauty Bubble ensures guests look and feel their best. Meanwhile, a dedicated butler caters to their every need, offering refreshing drinks from a trolley.
Sunrise Wellness Rituals at Long Beach: Embracing the Magic of Mornings
Long Beach encourages guests to synchronize with their circadian rhythm by starting the day with invigorating activities such as yoga, Qi Gong, or a memorable sunrise kayak experience. The east coast of Mauritius, known as the sunrise coast, provides a breathtaking backdrop as guests paddle out to the reef from the boathouse.
Witnessing the dawn colours painting the sky and the sun’s golden orb rising over the horizon creates a truly magical experience. These energizing rituals culminate in a refreshing detox blend enjoyed on the green lawn, overlooking the sparkling lagoon.
Ayurveda Wellness Retreat at Long Beach: Ancient Healing for Modern Guests
Long Beach embraces the ancient health system of Ayurveda through its dedicated Ayurvedic Wellness Retreats. Rooted in Indian traditions that date back 3,000 years, Ayurveda offers a powerful approach to healing. The retreats, ranging from the three-day Discovery Formula to the five-day Immersion Formula, provide guests with a daily Ayurvedic treatment, body scrub, facial, and a visit to the Turkish hammam. Alongside professional yoga classes, guests learn valuable well-being tools, including the art of quality sleep and nourishing dietary practices.
Reshma Dookheea, Sunlife Cluster Spa Manager said “We are so proud of the wellness offering at Sunlife that gives our guests a completely tailored experience across all the resorts. The Cinq Mondes Spa has established a distinct name for itself across the globe and offers a bespoke unparalleled experience using ingredients inspired by the world’s ancestral cultures. Our carefully selected treatments in our Asian-inspired sanctuaries are the perfect antidote to the stresses of everyday life. With the additions of the Come Alive Collection of experiences that focus on well-being, we’ve expanded our offering to guests and really tapped into the need to relax and rejuvenate when on holiday with us.”
Unlocking the Power of Restful Nights
Recognizing the vital role of sleep in overall wellness, Sunlife prioritizes sleep therapy as a key ritual. At Long Beach, specially designed beds featuring Slumberland mattresses, memory foam toppers, and luxurious Egyptian cotton sheets ensure optimal comfort. A pillow menu allows guests to personalize their sleep experience, while a digital detox box keeps tempting devices at bay, promoting a restful environment.
Guests are treated to Cinq Mondes L’Eau Egyptian, a soothing pillow mist blended with Lotus Flower extract, and a sleep-inducing drink called Lait D’or (Golden Milk). Additional offerings include the royal sirodhara treatment, meditation sessions, and breathwork exercises in the well-being studio, fostering relaxation and stress reduction.
Swing and Drift at Long Beach: Finding Peace in Tranquil Sleep
To cater to guests’ love for snoozing, Long Beach introduces the Swing and Drift experience as part of the Come Alive Collection. Scattered throughout the resort, various sleep experiences invite guests to unwind, listen to the soothing waves, and drift off into tranquillity.
Whether it’s the cosy sea crib or the beachside pod, these sleep sanctuaries offer moments of deep relaxation. Skilled spa team members are on hand to massage away neck tension and provide a blissful ambience for 30 minutes of rejuvenating shut-eye or brief moments of peaceful reflection.
