When South African travellers think of a holiday in Mauritius, they want stunning beaches, luxury, and a chance to relax – all with a short flight and wallet-friendly prices. Beachcomber resorts have been delivering all of that since the 1950s. 


As the first hotel group in Mauritius, Beachcomber recognised the island’s potential early on and claimed some of the best beachfront locations.

Now, with eight properties scattered across the Mauritian landscape, they’re one of the leading options for resort holidays in Mauritius. On top of all-inclusive luxury and family-friendly facilities, they’re committed to sustainability too. What more could you want?!

Prime Beachfront Locations Right From The Start

Beachcomber’s early start in Mauritius means they’ve secured some of the best beachfront spots on the island. Their resorts are perfectly positioned to give you direct access to Mauritius’ stunning beaches, whether you want to soak in a sunset at Trou aux Biches or enjoy the clear blue waters at Shandrani Beachcomber. For South African families, Victoria Beachcomber Resort is a popular option. Located between Grand Baie and Port Louis, it has spacious family rooms and some of the best views of the Indian Ocean.

But it's not just the stunning views. Because Beachcomber has been around since the 1950s, they know the ins and outs of Mauritius. As a result, their resorts are designed with the perfect Mauritian holiday experience in mind—balancing luxury with local culture and stunning natural surroundings. Live the high life with a cocktail and good book at the upscale Royal Palm Beachcomber or enjoy the historical charm of Canonnier Beachcomber. Whichever resort you choose from, you’ll know that Beachcomber’s attention to detail will guarantee you get the best out of this little island nation. 



Leading the Way in Sustainability

In recent years, many travellers have started looking for ways to be more eco-conscious on holiday, and Beachcomber is ahead of the game. After all, it’s hard to relax guilt-free when you know that your tourism is impacting the environment and local communities negatively. Luckily, Beachcomber is one of the most environmentally friendly hotel brands in Mauritius, and they’ve embedded sustainable practices into their daily operations.

The Beachcomber brand actively works to reduce its environmental impact through initiatives like water conservation, reducing energy consumption, and protecting marine life. Their EarthCheck certification highlights their commitment to sustainable tourism practices. This certification means that they meet international standards for reducing waste, conserving water, and protecting biodiversity.

So, if you’re looking to enjoy the beauty of Mauritius while knowing your stay has a lower environmental footprint, Beachcomber is a great choice. These days, choosing to travel responsibly is more important than ever if we want to continue to enjoy all the little nooks and crannies the world has to offer.

Something for Everyone

Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a family holiday, or a solo retreat, Beachcomber has something for everyone. Resorts like Trou aux Biches Beachcomber are perfect for honeymooners, with beautiful suites and private pools that let you unwind in total luxury. For more active travellers, Shandrani Beachcomber is a top pick. It’s located in the Blue Bay Marine Park and offers a variety of water sports, from glass-bottom boat tours to snorkelling. The resort’s setting on a peninsula means you have access to not just one, but three different beaches. Like we said, they saw the potential in Mauritius early on, and snapped up some of the best views in the world!

Families are well-catered for too, especially at Victoria Beachcomber, which offers large rooms, kids' clubs, and all-inclusive packages to keep both the young and young-at-heart entertained without having to worry about extra costs. For older kids or teens, there’s even a separate teens club so they can make friends and mingle with kids their own age. And then of course, we cannot forget about the beautiful Victoria for 2 – a heavenly hideaway for couples with swim up rooms, a swim up cocktail bar and an exclusive adults only dining experience, to name a few.
