If you are after a prestigious address in Mauritius, look no further than the Royal Palm. If you are looking for a perfect location, again look no further than the Royal Palm.
Member of the Leading Hotels of the World, Royal Palm is part of Beachcomber Hotels, a wholly owned Mauritian group, which owns and manages eight of the classiest hotels on the island. These are—The Royal Palm, La Maison du Royal Palm, Le Paradis, Le Shandrani, Le Trou Aux Biches, Le Victoria, Le Mauricia and Le Canonnier. All are located on picturesque beaches, states a company press release.
Most of these hotels evoke a sense of place and of the region's geography. They are all anchored in stunning settings that show off the character of the landscape. The Royal Palm makes a confident statement sited as it is on the loveliest beach of Grand Baie and a short walk away from this fashionable hot spot. The hotel has played host to many crowned heads, world leaders and famous stars who prefer to make helicopter transfers.
Enveloped in a plush hush, and an almost unreal sense of luxury, the hotel has 57 rooms, 22 suites, one penthouse, three Presidential suites and a Royal suite.
The Royal Suite with its three bedrooms, a large comfortable lounge, dining area, terrace, and a private garden with a small pool has direct access to the beach. Equipped with restaurants, bars and all the ameni-
ties of a deluxe hotel is La Maison du Royal Palm with five plush rooms. It is essentially a private colonial mansion located at Cap Malheureux.
The legendary Trou Aux Biches, hotel is the venue for a perfect wedding. Recently revamped, the hotel has typical wood and Beachcomber comfort thatch bungalows ensconsced in 40 hectares of landscaped gardens. The deft design evokes a kind of studied elegance while the 2 km long powder- soft beach, bordering a magnificent lagoon, is ideal for water skiing. A 9 hole golf course and a wide range of sporting and recreational activities, plus a convenient location make the Trou Aux Biches a worthy hangout for yell-heeled visitors.
Perfectly sited for blushing suTuises and sunsets, Le Canonnier is located on a historical site, only a few kilometers from pulsing Grand Baie- Le Mauricia is a fun hotel and a respite from glitz and glamor. Another is Le Victoria situated midway between Port Louis and Grand Baie. Le Paradis is set on a private peninsula and offers, amongst other amenities, an international golf course, deep sea fishing, scuba diving center et al. Special rates for groups and off-season discounts are available.
And to the south rises the Shandrani, with all sea-facing rooms, encircled by tropical gardens and fronting three beaches. Exuding Mauritian spirit and verve, these hotels stand out in memory for years, after one's visit.
