In our first post on Honeymoon Travel Diaries we introduced you to our pre-honeymoon preparation and told you we decided to stay at the Long Beach Golf & Spa Resort in Mauritius. This post is going to be heavy on pictures because we were at a place so gorgeous that it had to be captured through our lens - for you to join us as we take you around!

| Honeymoon Travel Diaries: Mauritius Long Beach Golf & Spa Resort - Part 1 |
Mauritius has a huge list of resorts and it can become difficult to narrow down where you want to stay. Apart from budget constraints there are a lot of other factors that can determine your abode during the special days. Our main concerns were
- Resort and not a hotel - we wanted a luxurious stay to make our honeymoon special
- Pristine beach at the resort
- In house dining options
- Water activities
- Assistance in local excursions - we did not want to do the routine trips
- Spa for relaxation
- In a location that is not overcrowded
When we started narrowing down on our options the one place which actually exceeded our requirements was the Long Beach Golf & Spa Resort, situated on the Coastal Road at Belle Mare. As I mentioned my sister had already stayed at Ambre, which is a property by the same resort chain of Sun Resorts. So we were confident that we had made a good choice.
I will share a sample itinerary that you can use as a base to plan your own trip at the end of this post (or if this one is too long, I might end up splitting it into two posts!). But before we go there let's go dive into the beauty of Long Beach Golf & Spa Resort.
Long Beach Golf & Spa Resort has an expansive beach line of over 1.3 km on the eastern coast of Mauritius. It offers an array of activities to make your stay exciting yet at the same time relaxing whenever you need the quiet time. The resort offers 255 sea facing rooms each equipped with the modern facilities that you require. The rooms are done up in a soothing white, lime green and light blue colour scheme. Our room was like a little villa on its own with a huge garden up front overlooking the sea.

Each day our bed was done up in a different way but our favourite was the two swans with fresh flowers. Perfect for any honeymoon couple for sure!
