# Long Beach Mauritius – relaunched as «Chapter 2»

> Long Beach Mauritius, located near Belle Mare, is a design-forward lifestyle hotel that stands apart from the island's typically colonial resorts with its modern cubistic architecture, repositioned under the 'Chapter 2' concept as a trendy, activity-rich retreat for the active traveler.

## Destination
Belle Mare, east coast of Mauritius (Coastal Road 41601).

## When to go
The article mentions November as high season; no further seasonal guidance is given.

## Why visit
The hotel combines striking modern architecture with a lifestyle-focused program built around four pillars — artistry, cuisine, music, and well-being — making it the only hotel in Mauritius on an explicit design-and-lifestyle track.

## What to see
- **Cubistic hotel architecture** — White, modernist proportions with large openings and lamellar shade panels that contrast sharply with the island's colonial-style resorts.
- **Lobby art by local artists** — The lobby displays paintings by local Mauritian artists as part of the hotel's artistry pillar.
- **Ile aux Cerfs – Touessrok Golf Course** — Designed by Bernhard Langer in 2003 on a nearby island, widely considered one of the most spectacular courses in the region.

## What to do
- **Endemic natural trail** — A guided 45-minute walk through hotel-owned grounds planted with native species.
- **Cooking classes and star-chef kitchen competitions** — Guests can cook alongside international guest chefs in dedicated sessions.
- **Mixology and DJ courses** — Hands-on cocktail-making with top bartenders and DJ classes are part of the activity program.
- **Painting classes** — Sessions with local artists offered on-site.
- **Water sports** — Wind surfing, kite surfing, kayaking, and blue-water fishing are available.
- **Cinq Mondes Spa & Wellness Retreat** — On-site spa using exclusive care products for wellness and rejuvenation.
- **Golf on Ile aux Cerfs** — Hotel shuttle and boat transfer to the Touessrok course; guests can also access Anahita Golf Course under special conditions.

## Good to know
Long Beach has five restaurants — Le Marché (buffet/show kitchen), Sapori (Italian), Chopsticks (Chinese), Tides (beach/seafood), and Hasu (Japanese). Reservations are strongly recommended for all specialty restaurants. The hotel is reached at +230 401 1919 and longbeachmauritius.com.
