If you want to experience an authentic sense of Mauritius, we recommend Beachcomber Resorts for family holidays. Beachcomber opened its first luxury resort in Mauritius in 1952, so the authenticity of its, now eight resorts, is understood.
Mauritius is an adventure, a different world, an Indian Ocean icon and a geological marvel. But it’s also one of the world’s safest countries, woven through with ancient history and a powerful sense of community and tradition, that all visitors are more than welcome to explore.
Children love it here for the safe, pristine beaches warmed by year-round sunshine, but a sense of discovery is just as appealing, even to younger children. Wonders are many from the marvel of Le Morne Brabant to the miraculous Seven Coloured Earths. And even the day-to-day here is filled with memory-makers like local markets and spotting wildlife, hearing the musical Creole language spoken, learning traditional dances or even dropping in on lively towns like Grand Baie and Port Louis.
Every Beachcomber resort is dedicated to making sure you have the richest possible experience of Mauritius, that your children go home filled with stories, and you all have plenty of those moments which define the type of holiday even your youngest child will always remember.
The difference you’ll find at all Beachcomber Resorts
Aside from consistently spectacular locations on some of Mauritius’s best beaches, both north and south, all eight Beachcomber Resorts share a few other features which families find hard to resist.
- All Beachcomber Resorts give your children the fun of great kids clubs for 3 to 11 year olds. And not only are they fully-supervised by well-trained staff, and creative and active in equal measure, they’re also entirely free during your stay.
- A wide choice of land and water sports is another big plus at all Beachcomber Resorts, and again, free of charge.
- You’ll find accommodation designed just for families at all Beachcomber Resorts. So you can look forward to lots of space, plus baby equipment on request, as well as luxuries like your own garden or terrace.
- Mauritius is an Indian Ocean golfing legend and Beachcomber Resorts have long been a part of making that so. All golf resorts give you exclusive tee-times and reduced green fees at Paradis Golf Course and Mont Choisy Le Golf. Some resorts also have courses on site, and offer access to multiple courses.
- Getting to know Mauritius is part of what makes a holiday here such a wonderful adventure. But you might also be interested to know that Beachcomber Resorts all have several excellent restaurants – many of them considered to be the island’s finest.
- Gourmet dining might not mean much to kids, but they will like the idea of their own menus which come as standard at all resorts. And for those too tiny to make choices, Beachcomber Resorts also serve their own, freshly prepared, baby food.
