Royal Palm, Mauritius. The name evokes the utmost in exclusivity and charm. Add to
that arrival by helicopter and you fall deeply in love with this pride of the
Beachcomber chain…
Our visit was a daytrip to have lunch with
our cherished partners at Royal Palm.

We passed over one of our new Beachcomber
resorts Trou aux Biches – a totally recreated five star resort on the site of
the original popular four star one. Trou aux Biches commands an attractive beach washed by
sheltered waters – a lovely resort of luxury villas and suites.
