OT Which is your favourite hotel in the world
Rohit Sharma
That would have to be the Long Beach (from &euro175 longbeachmauritius.com) in Mauritius. It wasn&rsquot the most extravagant hotel I&rsquove ever stayed at but it was the best trip I&rsquove ever had. I visited in June for about a week, which was too short A bunch of us decided to go away together but half wanted to go to the beach while the other half wanted cooler weather, so we settled on Mauritius because it rains in June but the rain is sporadic and it&rsquos about 18&ndash19&degC during the day, which was great because everyone got what they wanted.

OT So the outdoors were more fun than staying in
Rohit Sharma
 Well, the suite had a view of the ocean that I could wake up to every day It had an incredible balcony. But yes, the weather was amazing They have this huge private white-sand beach, plus two pools, including an infinity pool with lounge chairs in the water. They have a great range of water sports too &mdash kayak&shying, glass-boat rides, snorkelling, banana boats, parasailing... And they have the nicest bar, right by the sea.

OT Indoor highlights to match
Rohit Sharma
They have restaurants with every cuisine you could ask for and, I&rsquom not kidding, I had the best Indian food there. They have an Italian restaurant where I had the most tasty spaghetti &mdash tomato basil. Sounds simple, but you&rsquove got to try it to see what I mean. Their sushi was exquisite. The salmon sashimi was one of the best I&rsquove had. If you&rsquore a fan of massages, I would highly recommend the chocolate massage too.

OT So there&rsquos something for everyone
Rohit Sharma Yes It&rsquos a great getaway for both couples and families. The hotel staff are so warm. The property is so big and so beautiful, it truly has a little of everything. A week really wasn&rsquot enough. Mauritius is mistaken as mostly a couples retreat, but I&rsquod honestly love to take a family trip to Long Beach.
