Canonnier Beachcomber Golf Resort & Spa
Overview
Renowned for being one of the most loved family resorts in Mauritius, we feel this elegant resort is the perfect way to introduce the whole family to a laidback island lifestyle. Nestled between Trou aux Biches and Grand Baie, you’ll be greeted to the most sensational views of the northern islands.
Perched on a historical peninsula, we love how the resort gives a nod to Mauritius’ historical past, featuring the ruins of a lighthouse and fortress within the 17-acres of luscious, tropical garden. When strolling through the gardens, you’ll also find tranquil cascading pools and water features, as well as a wonderful main pool where the family can sunbathe and swim.
All of the rooms and suites are decorated with sustainable materials, with light wood and rattan furnishings adding a traditional Mauritian vibe, and large windows bringing in a heavenly glow of natural light. There are two categories perfect for families, including the Family Duplexes with their cool mezzanines creating a den for little ones, and the Family Apartment with its dining and relaxation area and two bedrooms.
This fabulous resort certainly has kids in mind. The kid’s club has a wonderful and varied activity schedule that changes every day, giving young ones the chance to learn Creole, make their own masks, and even hunt for sweets. After they’ve worked up an appetite, wander along to Le Frangipanier and let the kids dine at their very own buffet, with a secluded seating area so they can have dinner with their new friends.
Meanwhile, the spa built into the branches of a banyan tree is the perfect escape for adults to enjoy a serene treatment, giving you the time and space to reconnect and rejuvenate after a day of water sports. We love Le Navigator, a tranquil restaurant set away from the main resort and serving up a delectable menu of seafood caught straight from the sea. There are two terraces to choose from, but our favourite seat in the house is right on the sand, where you can listen to the waves lap against the shore.
