At Sunlife, sustainability inspires experiences that naturally unfold during your stay on the sunny island of Mauritius. 

It lives in simple moments: A swim in clear waters where the reef is protected. A walk through native vegetation where every plant has a story. A meal that tastes brighter because it travelled a shorter distance to your plate. 

Here, responsible travel doesn’t interrupt your holiday. It deepens it.

Nature becomes the main character

Nature isn’t meant to be a backdrop. It’s alive, evolving, and worth understanding. Let it invite you in!

Along the Biodiversity Trail at Long Beach, guided walks reveal endemic plants and conservation work happening right under your feet. Hidden among the greenery, discover our beehives and more than 550,000 pollinators supporting the island’s buzzing biodiversity.

Our Marine Discovery programmes at Long Beach, La Pirogue, and Sugar Beach offer a rare chance to explore alongside resident marine biologists. Observe coral restoration projects and reef life as it truly exists. Don’t forget your reef-safe sunscreen!

Waste becomes your island keepsake

Sustainability becomes tangible when you can see it… and even take it home with you!

Sunlife’s Glass Studio is an interactive experience that transforms glass collected on-site into bracelets and keychains, crafted live before your eyes. Each piece carries the memory of your stay, reshaped rather than discarded.

Textile waste also finds a new purpose through Waste-to-Art programmes created with local artisans. You’ll find these pieces at Life in Yellow boutiques, where each purchase supports creative livelihoods and local communities.

Intention adds flavours to your meals

Meals at Sunlife are grounded in place.

Order your dish at a live cooking station, prepared on demand to reduce waste while letting freshness lead. You’ll find our menus to be rooted in local produce, plant-forward flavours, and responsibly sourced.

And if curiosity strikes, stop by our weekly fish markets, a conversation with a fisherman might just bring island traditions straight to your plate.

The facts, for those who like to look a little closer At Sunlife, sustainability isn’t a corporate add-on. It’s an ongoing journey, shaped by constant learning and improvement. Along the way, this approach has been recognised, with Long Beach named Best Luxury Sustainable Resort in the Indian Ocean and La Pirogue awarded Best Sustainable Hotel in Mauritius. All four Sunlife resorts are EarthCheck certified (three Gold, one Silver, soon to be Gold), and as a member of UN Global Compact Mauritius, we commit to advancing the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Behind the scenes, smart energy and water monitoring systems now support 90% of our resort operations. They’ve helped reduce water use per guest night by 11.4% and electricity use by 3.9%, even as guest numbers continue to grow. We share our sustainability performance openly, with results reviewed by independent experts. That transparency is our way of letting you travel with confidence, choosing honesty over hype.

Enjoy Mauritius with a lighter mind, knowing your holiday aligns with your values as much as your love for beauty, flavour, and ease.
