Overview

Beachcomber Royal Palm is a sophisticated and luxurious resort located in the northwest of Mauritius. The property has a prestigious feel and overlooks a lovely sheltered bay with a pure white sand beach. The resort is a member of 'The Leading Hotels of the World’ portfolio, and the service and facilities are top notch. There’s a wine cellar and sports centre complete with hammam, plus a wide range of land and water-based sports, including tennis with professional coaches, to choose from.

There are no fewer than ten different room categories to choose from and this property stands out because the accommodation is comprised entirely of suites. Rooms are spacious and comfortable and the decor is stylish with attractive wooden furnishings throughout. All rooms are air conditioned and have their own terrace or balcony, with views of the resort’s well landscaped gardens and/or the Indian Ocean. Amenities include tea and coffee making facilities, a minibar and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels. The bathroom is en-suite and comes with a separate shower, bathtub and toilets; twin vanities are provided.

The on-site activities are many and varied – there’s a well-equipped sports centre located in the beautiful, lush gardens offering a range of classes such as pilates which are overseen by professional trainers. There are three tennis courts and a squash court, a darts board and a bocciball court. For those looking to get out on the water, there are all sorts of things to do from stand-up paddle boarding and snorkelling to glass-bottom boat excursions and kayaking. It’s also possible to visit the nearby Photography Museum of Mauritius, the ‘Aventure du Sucre’ museum and the and the wonderful, historic Pamplemousse gardens.

There are three restaurants overseen by an award-winning chef which serve a range of dishes from around the world, along with plenty of local specialties. Meals are tastefully presented, with all food freshly prepared using locally-sourced ingredients. The restaurants are all situated right on the coast with pleasant ocean views to enjoy.

The resort is very family friendly indeed. Almost all the accommodation options work well for families and there’s a very good kids club offering plenty of activities and experiences. The Ti Royal Kids Club is intended for children aged three to eleven and it aims to provide children with some educational experiences, and most importantly a great deal of fun!

  • Trip was great and all the arrangements were excellent so thank you for all the help!

    Drivers and transfers were all good - on time and very good service on each trip.

    Accommodation was lovely - Douar Samra was amazing (weather could have been better but lovely regardless). Riad in Marrakesh was also great!

    All in all a great trip and we loved the variety of the mountains, Marrakesh and the coast.

    Thanks you once again!

  • I was also just about to email you to thank you and the team for arranging yet again, another wonderful experience.

    Mount Kenya was spectacular and wild - I think I prefer it to Kili in many ways. The entire support team was professional, friendly and all round fantastic in making sure that we were safe, well fed and well looked after. In particular, we would commend Peter the guide as well as Paul one of the porters who doubled-up as his deputy on summit day. Our route was often shrouded in mist and rain that rapidly gathered in the valleys and moorlands, and we were very impressed at how Peter managed to navigate us safely through all of that notwithstanding. In addition, we loved learning about the history of Mount Kenya from him in the evenings. And ofcourse, I was blown away by the lovely birthday surprise at the end complete with balloons and a delicious cake that had journeyed with us from day 1. One thing we might recommend because of the sudden change in weather (it would sometimes get extremely cold and wet) is for the equipment list to be a little bit more detailed in terms of its recommendations e.g. layers to be moisture-wicking, walking boots be waterproof, doubling up on socks to avoid blisters etc.

    El Karama is a beautiful conservancy and the lodge a true labour of love. Great hospitality in a relaxed environment. Delicious, fresh food. We enjoyed the drives, even if we didn't see much wildlife as the heavens opened on us for the last two outings. However, since it was very much geared towards families, I am not sure if I would stay again without kids. That said, I think it was perfect for a 3d/2n stay post mountain, and a much better choice than flying to the masai mara given the limited time we had.

    Our transits were smooth. Samuel the driver was always on time, drove safely and kept the vehicle clean.

    So it was a brilliant experience and one which I certainly will cherish for some time to come. It was great to work with you for a third time, and I certainly hope it won't be the last

  • Thank you, we had an absolute wonderful time, and everything was well-planned and as described. Carla was crying on the day of our departure from Ants Nest, she didn’t want to go home and for it all to end, and when I asked how much longer she would want to stay, she responded “four weeks”
