What sets it apart
Six restaurants. Four are grouped at the heart of the living areas, two others stand apart, a few steps from the beach. The register changes each time: generous buffets at L’Oasis, Mauritian bistronomy at La Caravelle, a Mediterranean trattoria at Il Corallo, beach cuisine at La Plage, Asian fusion from an open kitchen at Blue Ginger, northern Indian gastronomy at Mahiya.
The mood
The spa covers 2,897 square metres and splits into two wings of opposite character: air-conditioned treatment rooms and relaxation areas on one side, and beyond the pool thirteen cabins under wide thatched roofs, linked by paths covered with flowering pergolas, each with its own small garden. The suites are arranged in crescents around two pools heated in winter, while the villas form a separate village, with a private butler for the whole stay. Dinner is interchangeable with the other Beachcomber hotels, by reservation, with a supplement at Royal Palm.

- In the evening La Caravelle, Il Corallo, Blue Ginger and Mahiya ask for smart dress: no shorts, bermudas or sportswear, and closed shoes for men. La Plage accepts bermudas.
