Best Luxury Hotels in Grand Baie

Beachcomber Resorts & Hotels’ intimate flagship occupies a sheltered stretch of Mauritius’s northwest coast, within walking distance of Grand Baie. A member of The Leading Hotels of the World, Royal Palm has 69 ocean-facing suites, three restaurants, three temperature-controlled pools, a Valmont-partnered spa and access to the 18-hole Mont Choisy Le Golf. Its size allows for an exceptional level of personalised service, from dedicated beach loungers and attentive beach service to the small details that appear before you think to ask. Snorkelling can be surprisingly rewarding, sunsets are superb and a lounger a few steps from the water – lunch delivered – is difficult to beat.

The sheltered lagoon of Grand Baie on Mauritius’ northern coast provides a calm haven for swimming and sunbathing. British designer Kelly Hoppen has designed the sophisticated, yet laid back interiors. With an emphasis on conscious, eco-friendly living in the resort, guests can choose from healthy plant-based menus, take a hydrothermal bath journey and enjoy a cutting edge spa treatment on an ergonomic sand bed. Hang out at Beach Rouge, the restaurant and beach club, or on the rooftop at Bisou restaurant and bar and eat at Ai KISU. Don’t miss the perfect photo op, as you take a seat in the wooden swing that hangs above the rooftop infinity pool, looking out over the lagoon.
