Nestled along the gleaming sands of Le Morne in Mauritius, Beachcomber Paradis Hotel is where everyday worries fade faster than an errant tee shot into a water hazard.
Life at this UNESCO-protected lagoon feels downright mythical, with three miles of white sand that make you wonder if you’ve stepped into your own postcard fantasy.
A Grand First Impression
Approaching the 400-acre resort by way of a palm-lined entrance, you’ll immediately sense a certain je ne sais quoi that mixes laid-back island charm with polished luxury.
Clusters of low-rise buildings, dressed in soft taupe and ivory tones under thatched roofs, blend in seamlessly with the tropical foliage.
The property may be sprawling, but a convenient resort buggy service ensures you never break a sweat getting around—unless you plan on staying active, that is.
Natural Splendour at Le Morne Brabant
Tucked beneath the towering presence of Le Morne Brabant mountain, the resort basks in a near-perfect climate—shielded from strong winds and offering the kind of backdrop usually reserved for epic nature documentaries.
If you’re feeling adventurous, activities like mountain trekking, horseback riding, and kite-surfing are just moments away. Meanwhile, guided excursions include everything from swimming with dolphins to touring local rum distilleries.
For a mind-bending sight, book a seaplane tour to witness that spectacular “underwater waterfall” optical illusion, and watch your jaw drop.
Family-Friendly Paradise
Holidaying families can stretch out comfortably in roomy suites, while a kids’ club rolls out the red carpet for your little adventurers.
The staff keeps them busy with crab-hunting escapades and kiddie yoga sessions, proving that no one in the family is too young—or too old—for a bit of Mauritius magic.
Culinary Delights from Sunrise to Sunset
Food-lovers, rejoice. With the resort’s ‘dine around’ experience, you get to sample eight different restaurants, each bursting with its own distinctive flavours.
You might grab a candlelit dinner of gourmet Mauritian cuisine at La Ravanne one night, then indulge in the fresh catch at Blue Marlin the next.
Zest puts the Mediterranean on your plate—complete with an unbeatable ocean view—while Le Brabant’s global buffet offerings and breezy breakfast terrace cater to every taste.
And should you crave something even more special, the resort can arrange pop-up beach lunches so you don’t have to lift a finger (except to taste your next cocktail).
Suites and Villas with Serious ‘Wow’ Factor
Whether you choose a Junior Suite with calming neutral tones or opt for a Senior Beachfront Suite perched just steps from the shoreline, rest assured the accommodations at Paradis Beachcomber are as inviting as they come.
If you’re really swinging for the fences, the Presidential villas await on a secluded stretch of beach, complete with helicopter transfers, a private butler, a personal cart, and even a chef on standby—no detail overlooked.
Sports, Spa, and Scenic Splendor
If you can’t resist burning off your last five-course meal on the tennis courts or golf course, you’ll be in good company here. Water-based activities also abound, including snorkelling, diving, and glass-bottom boat tours.
For those happy to simply lounge and soak up the scenery, you can keep it low-key on the shore, cold drink in hand. Afterwards, head to the holistic spa for a personalised treatment and feel every trace of stress melt away.
Genuine Mauritian Hospitality
Of course, no review would be complete without praising the staff, whose warmth and attention to detail elevate the entire experience.
Longtime team members—like Balmick, Vada, the brilliant barman Mitelesh, and the ever-resourceful golf marshal Vicky—make you feel more like a cherished friend than a guest.
It’s these personal touches that transform a luxury resort into a home away from home.
Why It’s Hard to Say Goodbye
In the end, Beachcomber Paradis Hotel delivers a sweet spot of opulence, unmatched natural beauty, and heartfelt service.
Whether you’re travelling as a family, setting off on a romantic escape, or flying solo, you’ll discover a slice of paradise that’s decidedly hard to leave, whilst even writing this review it brings sadness to me that I have to leave so soon.
After a few sun-soaked days here, don’t be surprised if you start planning your return before you’ve even stepped on the plane home.
