WLH a great choice for teens and tots

WHEN a client is seeking a holiday that offers something for every generation, Mauritius delivers the perfect blend of sun, sea, adventure and quality time together, says Edna Fischer, Marketing and PR assistant for World Leisure Holidays. At two of World Leisure Holidays’ partner Sunlife resorts, the family-friendly Long Beach Mauritius and Sugar Beach Mauritius, family holidays are designed around shared experiences and the freedom for everyone to enjoy the holiday in their own way. Long Beach Long Beach Mauritius is a natural choice for families with children of all ages, says Fischer. Standard rooms offer generous space for families, while interconnecting rooms and family suites provide additional flexibility and comfort. “The family suites feature a separate room for children, complete with sofa beds and their own bathroom, making them particularly well suited to family stays.” The resort’s dedicated Sunlife Kids’ Club, welcoming children from 3-12 year olds, offers a full programme. From mini golf and yoga to painting, karaoke, Séga nights, sandcastle competitions and mini- Olympics, children are kept entertained throughout the day. Teens have their own space at Waves Club, with activities designed specifically for older children, including a cyber café with video games, pizza evenings and barbecues around a camp fire. For families who love physical activity together, the resort’s lagoon offers a wealth of complimentary water activities, including snorkelling, kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding. Children can also enjoy pitch and putt, tennis, wall- climbing and tag archery, while nature-focused experiences include glass- bottom boat trips, crab hunting and discovering the island’s endemic plants. Sugar Beach On the island’s West coast, Sugar Beach Mauritius offers a different take on the family holiday, combining a beautiful beach setting with a wide variety of activities and dedicated spaces for children and teenagers. “The resort is fully family- friendly, with complimentary accommodation and meals for up to two children under 12 per booking, making it an appealing choice for families,” says Fischer. The shallow waters and coral reef surrounding Mauritius create an ideal environment for introducing children to water activities. There’s kayaking, snorkelling and stand-up paddleboarding, and other non-motorised water sports are also available. A catamaran cruise takes adults and children further afield to explore the coastline, visit Île aux Bénitiers or search for dolphins in their natural habitat. Younger children can spend their days at the Sunlife Kids’ Club, which welcomes children from 3-12 years old. It offers activities such as treasure hunts, arts and crafts and water sports. Teenagers have their own dedicated experiences, including arcade games, pool tables, croquet and table tennis, as well as special events such as pizza parties and DJ nights. “The result is a holiday that gives families plenty of opportunities to spend time together, while also allowing parents to enjoy some well- deserved downtime and children to make new friends and create their own holiday memories,” says Fischer
