If you’re searching for the perfect island holiday and wondering what a day in paradise truly looks like, Victoria Beachcomber Resort & Spa delivers a picture-perfect answer. From tranquil mornings by the sea to vibrant evenings filled with music and fine dining, this resort offers the kind of all-day bliss that stays with you long after you’ve returned home.
It’s no surprise that Victoria Beachcomber is one of the most popular choices in our selection of Beachcomber Packages, offering a balance of luxury, family-friendly comfort, and authentic Mauritian charm. To give you a true sense of what awaits, here’s a look at what a typical day at Victoria Beachcomber Resort feels like, from sunrise to sunset.
Early Morning Calm and Ocean Breezes
It’s early morning. The soft light of dawn filters through gauzy curtains, and outside, the Indian Ocean glistens like a sea of glass. You slip out onto your terrace with a cup of coffee in hand. The air is warm and still, save for the distant hush of waves brushing against the sand.
The resort is still quiet at this hour. You might see a few fellow guests wandering down to the water’s edge for a sunrise walk, but for the most part, it feels as if the beach belongs to you alone. Whether you choose to meditate, stretch, or simply sip and soak it all in, the morning is yours to shape.
Breakfast with a View
Le Superbe, the resort’s main restaurant, is a popular breakfast spot with its generous buffet and wide-open views of the lagoon. Tropical fruits, fresh-baked croissants, made-to-order omelettes, and a surprising number of local treats await. Don’t miss out on trying banana fritters or a traditional Mauritian roti; it’s a taste of the island on your plate.
The open-air layout allows you to enjoy breakfast while watching palm trees sway and the sun rise higher into the sky. Whether you’re dining solo, with your partner, or as a family, this is the kind of start that sets the tone for a great day.
Choose Your Morning Adventure
Once breakfast is done, it’s time to decide: active or relaxed?
If you’re feeling energetic, head down to the boathouse. Non-motorised water sports, such as kayaking, pedal boats, stand-up paddleboarding, and snorkelling, are all included. The calm, clear lagoon is ideal for exploring coral reefs and tropical fish. For something a bit more adventurous, book a diving session or a glass-bottom boat ride.
Prefer to take things slower? The spa offers a soothing menu of treatments in a peaceful garden setting. A 60-minute massage beneath the shade of frangipani trees might be just what you need to melt away every last bit of tension.
Lunch by the Sea
By midday, you’ll be ready for something refreshing. L’Horizon is a favourite lunch spot for good reason; its location right on the beach means you can dine with your feet in the sand and the ocean as your backdrop. Fresh seafood is the star of the menu, from grilled lobster to lightly seared tuna, all paired beautifully with a crisp white wine or an ice-cold local beer.
For a quieter alternative, La Casa sits slightly elevated and offers sweeping views of the coast. Here, you’ll find Italian classics, wood-fired pizzas, creamy pastas, and indulgent desserts served with elegance and charm.
Afternoons Made for Everyone
After lunch, the resort buzzes with relaxed energy. Children head to the kids’ club for treasure hunts and crafts, while teens gather in their own lounge to play games, chat, and plan evening activities.
Adults have just as many options. You might join an aqua gym session in the pool, take a guided bike ride through nearby villages, or simply sink into a shaded lounger with a cocktail and a book. The resort’s gardens and pools are meticulously kept, making every corner a comfortable place to unwind.
If you’re staying in one of the “Victoria for 2” rooms designed exclusively for couples, you’ll enjoy private swim-up pool access and a peaceful adults-only beach area that feels like a retreat within a retreat.
Golden Hour and Sunsets to Remember
Late afternoon signals one of the most cherished times of day at Victoria Beachcomber. As the sun begins to sink, the sky comes alive with gold and blush tones that paint the horizon. Grab a sundowner from Nautil Café Bar, perhaps a signature rum cocktail or a tropical mocktail, and settle in to watch the show.
There’s a special sense of calm during this hour, a kind of collective pause. Whether you’re laughing with friends, cuddling with your partner, or simply gazing out to sea, these are the moments that memories are made of.
Evening Entertainment and Elegant Dining
When the sun finally dips below the horizon, the resort transitions into evening mode. Lights twinkle through the palm trees, the scent of grilled seafood fills the air, and the sound of live music begins to drift from the open-air bar.
Dinner is an occasion here. Choose from the buffet at Le Superbe or dine à la carte at one of the speciality restaurants. There’s a strong focus on fresh, local ingredients, international flavours, and artistic presentation. Whether it’s Mauritian curry, Mediterranean tapas, or a simple yet elegant steak, each meal is a celebration.
Post-dinner, enjoy a sega performance under the stars or retreat to the bar for a nightcap. The atmosphere is relaxed and joyful, with enough variety to suit both those seeking a bit of nightlife and those looking to wind down.
Peaceful Nights and Gentle Goodbyes
As the resort quiets down, you’ll find the perfect ending to your day. Stroll along the moonlit beach, listening to the gentle waves. Return to your suite, where the turndown service has set the mood for a restful sleep. Every part of the day flows effortlessly into the next, each moment crafted to help you feel fully at ease.
At Victoria Beachcomber Resort & Spa, you don’t need a schedule. You simply wake, wander, indulge, explore, rest, and repeat. Whether it’s your first visit or one of many, this resort welcomes you like an old friend and leaves you counting down the days until your return.
