Travel Expeditions

Long Beach Hotel is a first in Mauritian Holiday-Making: An upbeat beach resort – vibrant, chic and playful – that is, at the same time, the embodiment of fresh, relaxed and carefree beach living. It is even environmentally savvy.

Long Beach is light-hearted. It is sea views from every vantage point and home to a tropical lagoon in which a constellation of rare coral formations houses a rich underwater world.

Long Beach is to be found on Mauritius’ east coast, on the Belle Mare Peninsula, where a powerful urban feel meets the absolute ultimate in ocean, beach and 5-star luxury. Known for the longest, widest stretch of white-sand coastline of any Mauritian resort to date, Long Beach offers an outstanding 109m2 of beach space per room.

Long Beach is contemporary island design matched with natural flair. Tropical and local materials. Volcanic stone, wood and bright colour. It is consummate style, softened by natural forms, indigenous detailing and traditional touches.

Long Beach means a delectable variety of destination restaurants and eating experiences. A choice of textures, experiences and first time-treats. A blend of quiet spa time, nightclub nights, crazy water-splashed days or even conferences and golf.

Long Beach is unusual – a place that is as stylish as it is all-encompassing, that has something for everyone; that caters for both kiddie care and grown-up indulgence, and everything in between. In every way, Long Beach Hotel is an absolute original.

Long Beach Mauritius coming to our website soon. Rates available for December onward bookings. For more information visit Travel Expeditions.

Experience the Maldives – Part 5:

Up to now we have shared our experience from two extraordinary Maldives resorts to our Dubai stop-over City Experience. In the next blog, we will be looking at our Dubai Dune Dinner Safari Experience in detail.

Later that afternoon, we departed on the excursion which was the highlight of our whole Dubai experience – a Dune Dinner Desert Safari. This experience totally exceeded our expectations.

We were collected from our hotel and driven deep into the Dubai desert. This experience consists out of a few stops. The first stop was a camel stop where everybody could be photographed with the desert camels. This was very exciting as this was our first encounter with the soft desert sand and ambience. From here we were driven to our second stop, which is a refreshment stop. What we did not anticipate was that our ride from here on would be an adrenalin pumping joy ride. The drivers of these 4X4 vehicles really knew how to manoeuvre over these dunes at exhilarating speeds. Everybody in the vehicle was instantly on a high. What an experience!!! Finally we reached the second stop where we could enjoy a refreshing drink and run up and down the dunes, with a beautiful back-drop offering the most extraordinary desert photo opportunities.

Now it was on to our third stop, the sunset stop. Once again, we were taken on the 4X4 joy ride over the dunes at adrenalin rushing speeds and lots of very excited laughs. The sunset in the Dubai desert poses for extremely beautiful photo opportunities. Once the sun set, we were ready to leave for our dune dinner. Upon our arrival at the camp there were a group of camels awaiting us. We now had the opportunity to ride the camels, after which we were guided into our desert dinner camp.

This camp is set up as a typical Arabian Desert camp, with beautiful Arabic carpets stretching over the soft sand, with a selection of dinner tables to choose from and pillows to sit on. We enjoyed a sumptuous 3 course meal and then a belly dancer danced the night away. Guests were also welcome to join in, or just sit and relax while enjoying the experience.

Our night came to an end with a star-gazing experience. All the lights in the camp were shut down and we could all just lie on the pillows in the desert silence while gazing at the diamond sky above. What a beautiful sight.

This experience is really a must if you are a tourist in Dubai. When you book your next Dubai stop-over, do not leave this out of your itinerary.

This was the last night of your very exciting trip to the Maldives. We have experienced so much of the products we sell our clients and were truly happy with the products our clients ultimately experience when booking their trip with Travel Expeditions.
