If you want to enjoy the best of Mauritius, no one knows the
island and all it has to offer as intimately as Beachcomber. As the
pioneers of luxury holidays on Mauritius, Beachcomber had the choice
of this lovely island’s most desirable locations, creating
exceptional hotels in stunning settings.
All Beachcomber resorts effortlessly blend luxurious accommodation,
excellence in cuisine and glorious beaches with a host of
first-class leisure activities.
Impeccably trained staff welcome guests with genuine Mauritian
hospitality, and hotels are designed to give everyone the most
wonderful time in beautiful surroundings. Acclaimed by both past
guests and the luxury hotel industry itself, Beachcomber was awarded
the accolade of ‘Best Specialist Tour Operator to the Indian Ocean’
in 2002, and again 2003.
Flawless service at the prestigious Royal
Palm
Beachcomber’s Royal Palm hotel is, quite simply, special. Here is a
place one can relax, surrounded by natural beauty and classical
elegance – and enjoy immaculate service that is second to none.
Designed to offer a tranquil retreat for those in quest of peace,
privacy and the best of everything, this luxurious hideaway is one
of the Indian Ocean’s foremost hotels, and a member of ‘The Leading
Hotels of the World’.
The Royal Palm has a wonderful setting, amongst lush tropical
greenery overlooking the deep blue of Grand Baie lagoon. As soon as
guests arrive at this exclusive haven, they step into a unique
atmosphere of pure calm, where courteous hospitality and attention
to detail are renowned. As Beachcomber’s premier hotel, Royal Palm
is a place where guests can undoubtedly leave the rest of the world
behind.
Classical elegance and understated luxury
It is often said that the best service is that which is never
noticed – a sentiment that is confirmed at the Royal Palm. Here,
there are three staff members for each guest, taking meticulous care
over every aspect of your stay. Even so, staff are unobtrusive,
skilled at preserving the delicate balance between attentive yet
discreet service, leaving guests free to enjoy drinks or a meal in
peace and privacy.
Fine dining in delicious surroundings
A justly esteemed highlight of the Royal Palm is the cuisine,
created by an élite assembly of internationally renowned chefs,
whose inspiration and talents have earned the hotel’s main
restaurant ‘La Goelette’ the enviable reputation as one of the
island’s most desirable places to dine.
From delicious gourmet Creole and international dishes, to local
specialities such as fresh fish baked in sea salt, the Royal Palm
has menus to tempt all tastes, including refreshingly light and
healthy eating at the unique ‘Natureaty’ restaurant, where guests
can even pluck leaves fresh from the plant to create revitalising
tea blends.
Away from the restaurants, guests may also enjoy the informal
elegance of privately dining on their own balcony or terrace as they
admire the sparkling azure of the lagoon. Perhaps linger over a
leisurely breakfast, or savour an enchanting dinner at a table laid
just for two, all served by a personal waiter.
Luxurious suites in a magnificent tropical
setting
Guests will find the sumptuous ocean-facing suites at the Royal Palm
more than match the beauty of their exotic surroundings. Lavish and
spacious interiors invite you to relax in sheer luxury; and as each
suite has its own private and fully-furnished balcony or terrace,
guests can stretch out with a chilled aperitif and enjoy the Indian
Ocean views across one of the best beaches in Mauritius.
For pure relaxation, The Spa at the Royal Palm is highly
recommended. Once in this peaceful sanctuary, guests can forget
everything but indulging themselves in an exquisite atmosphere of
well-being. Relaxing hammam, sauna and tranquil massage are
available, along with an extensive range of blissful health and
beauty treatments, from soothing de-stress to slimming and
revitalisation.
It’s easy to see why the Royal Palm is the choice of royalty,
celebrities and discerning travellers alike as the perfect luxury
break.

A balance of body and soul on Beachcomber’s
private peninsula
At the south westerly tip of Mauritius lies the exclusive peninsula
of Le Morne, where two distinctly different hotels enjoy a stunning
location, sheltered from the trade winds. The Dinarobin and the
Paradis are situated alongside one another on the same glorious 7km
stretch of fine, white velvet beach, and each has a definite and
contrasting character of its own.
Relaxed calm at the Dinarobin
The smaller and quieter Dinarobin has a peaceful atmosphere that
will suit anyone looking to soothe a ruffled soul. This all-suite
hotel has an intimate setting, with splendid mountain scenery and
ocean views. A harmonious blend of architecture, select furnishings
and décor create a tranquil ambience that’s perfect for those
wishing to get away from it all.
Here guests can browse the pages of a favourite book, wander the
beautiful beach or simply day dream in the comfort of their suite’s
verandah, inspired by the tropical atmosphere.
The wonderful Dinarobin Spa completes the air of relaxation. The Spa
is housed in a charming thatched Mauritian villa situated in the
gardens, with its own courtyard and fresh water pool. There is an
impressive array of massage, hydrotherapy and algotherapy available,
as well as hammams, saunas, a cardio-fitness centre and a juice bar.
Qualified therapists at The Spa pamper guests with luxurious Clarins
skincare treatments, and offer an extensive range of classic and
more exotic beauty therapies.
Sport and fun at the Paradis
With a livelier atmosphere, the Paradis is a hotel to please the
body. Guests here will find excellent facilities for recreation,
with plenty of activities if you wish to rejuvenate and re-energise.
The atmosphere is particularly vibrant for families, offering scores
of opportunities for fun holiday memories, although not at the
expense of relaxation, quality or privacy.
Exciting water sports include exhilarating water skiing, wind
surfing and what is undoubtedly the finest game fishing available in
Mauritius, as the Paradis owns the island’s best fishing fleet. The
clear waters of the coral protected bay on the peninsula are also
excellent for scuba diving, with an abundance of colourful
underwater life to observe.
A wealth of land sports and activities include a spectacular 18-hole
golf course, which offers one of the most challenging and exciting
games in the Indian Ocean.
The Paradis has a luxurious choice of accommodation; from spacious
Suites with alluring views to the flexibility and informality of a
private beach villa, where guests are free to combine the
convenience of first-class hotel service with personal choice and
time to themselves as they wish. A valet helps villa guests to
organise everything from meals and shopping to a full maid service.
The best of both worlds
Guests who stay at Beachcomber’s Dinarobin or the Paradis can
satisfy both body and soul, as they are welcome to enjoy the
extensive facilities of both hotels on this exclusive peninsula.
That means guests can choose as much peaceful relaxation – or as
much activity – as they prefer.
Guests at either hotel can also dine at any of the seven outstanding
restaurants on the peninsula. ‘La Ravanne’ is a particular
favourite, with an unforgettable beach setting where you can dine
beneath the stars or under thatched canopies. Here, the chefs
prepare enticing seafood dishes, with fresh crab or fish cooked in
banana leaves being a particular speciality.
Beyond Mauritius
In addition to hotels in Mauritius, Beachcomber owns Sainte Anne
Resort, situated on its own private island in the Seychelles. This
exclusive hideaway possesses just this one single hotel, which looks
out over the protected tropical waters of the Sainte Anne National
Marine Park. The crystal-clear ocean here is a paradise for
snorkelling and scuba diving.
For those who look for variety and choice when they go away,
Beachcomber is an expert in creating tailor-made holidays to
personal specifications. Guests may perhaps like to combine a
relaxing stay in Mauritius with the very best safaris in southern
Africa, or enjoy a 2-centre holiday taking in the excitement of
cosmopolitan Dubai, or even design an island-hopping itinerary in
the Seychelles.
