When comparing Beachcomber Packages, choosing between eight resorts can be more difficult than deciding that Beachcomber is right for your Mauritius holiday in the first place. Each property offers the familiar advantages of a Beachcomber stay, but the locations, atmosphere, accommodation, activities, and overall holiday experience can differ significantly. The right choice depends less on finding the “best” resort and more on identifying which one best matches the way you actually like to travel.
A couple looking for privacy and fine dining will have very different priorities from a family travelling with young children. Golfers may naturally be drawn to Le Morne, while travellers who enjoy nearby shops, restaurants, and nightlife may prefer Grand Baie. Some guests want a resort where they can stay active from morning until evening, while others want somewhere peaceful enough that doing very little feels completely natural.
Understanding those differences is the easiest way to reduce eight excellent options to the two or three that genuinely suit your holiday.
Start with the Type of Mauritius Holiday You Want
Before comparing room categories or studying restaurant lists, think about what a good day in Mauritius would actually look like for you.
Would you start with golf or a morning on the water? Do you picture the children moving between the beach, pool and activities while you relax nearby? Would you like to walk into town in the evening, or would you rather stay somewhere secluded, with little reason to leave?
Your answers immediately make some Beachcomber resorts more suitable than others.
The eight properties cover a surprisingly broad range of travel styles. Mauricia Beachcomber Resort & Spa has a completely different energy from Dinarobin Beachcomber Golf Resort & Spa. Royal Palm Beachcomber Luxury provides a more intimate luxury experience, while Victoria Beachcomber Resort & Spa is known for generous space and a particularly easygoing approach to family holidays.
Instead of asking which Beachcomber resort has the most impressive list of features, ask which features you will genuinely use.
Mauricia Beachcomber: Best for Energy and Grand Baie
Mauricia Beachcomber Resort & Spa is one of the easiest choices to identify because its location gives it such a distinct personality.
Situated in Grand Baie, it works particularly well for travellers who do not want to feel isolated within a resort. You have a beachfront base and resort facilities, but the shops, restaurants and nightlife of Grand Baie are also close at hand.
This makes Mauricia a strong option for couples, groups of friends and travellers who enjoy a little more energy around their holiday. You can spend an entire day at the resort when you want to relax, then experience a different atmosphere simply by heading into Grand Baie.
It is also worth considering for shorter Mauritius stays. When you only have five or six nights, having plenty nearby means you spend less time travelling around the island.
Choose Mauricia if convenience, Grand Baie and a sociable atmosphere matter more to you than complete seclusion.
Canonnier Beachcomber: Best for Character and Families
Canonnier Beachcomber Golf Resort & Spa stands out because its surroundings feel noticeably different from a conventional tropical resort.
The property occupies a historic peninsula in northern Mauritius, where tropical gardens and remnants of the area’s past give the resort considerable character. It is a good choice for travellers who want attractive surroundings without an overly formal atmosphere.
Families are particularly well catered for, but Canonnier also suits couples who prefer a relaxed environment with plenty of space to explore.
Its northern location also puts you in a great spot if you want to explore more of Mauritius rather than spend the entire holiday inside the resort.
Choose Canonnier if you are travelling as a family or couple and want an informal Beachcomber experience with history, gardens and a strong sense of place.
Victoria Beachcomber: Best for Space and Easy Family Holidays
Victoria Beachcomber Resort & Spa is particularly good at making a Mauritius holiday feel uncomplicated.
One of its biggest advantages is space. The resort has generous accommodation, extensive grounds and a broad beachfront setting on the north-west coast. Families have room to spread out, while couples can still find quieter places to relax.
Victoria is a strong choice when different family members want different things from the holiday. Children can enjoy activities and time in the water while parents can slow down. Nobody needs to follow the same schedule all day.
The west-facing location also contributes to the atmosphere, especially at sunset, when the beachfront becomes one of the most enjoyable places to end the day.
Choose Victoria if you value spacious accommodation, a relaxed atmosphere and a resort that works especially well when travelling with children.
Shandrani Beachcomber: Best for Activities and Variety
Shandrani Beachcomber Resort & Spa is one of the strongest choices for travellers who worry that a resort holiday might become repetitive.
Located on a private peninsula in the south-east, Shandrani is known for its three beaches and proximity to Blue Bay Marine Park. The setting immediately creates more variety than you might expect from a single resort.
It is particularly well suited to active travellers. Water sports, swimming, snorkelling, and other activities can easily fill the day, while the different areas around the peninsula give guests opportunities to change their surroundings without leaving the property.
This makes Shandrani a good option for active couples, families with older children, and groups with different interests.
It can also work especially well for longer stays because there is enough variety to prevent every day from falling into the same routine.
Choose Shandrani if activities, multiple beaches and having plenty to do within the resort are high on your list.
Paradis Beachcomber: Best for Golf and Active Couples
Paradis Beachcomber Golf Resort & Spa has one of the most impressive settings in the Beachcomber collection. It occupies part of the Le Morne Peninsula with the Indian Ocean in front and Le Morne Brabant creating a dramatic backdrop.
Golf is one of the major reasons to choose Paradis. With the Paradis Golf Club within the resort, golfers can add a round to the holiday without turning it into a full-day excursion.
The appeal extends well beyond golf, though. Water activities, a beautiful lagoon and the wider Le Morne surroundings make Paradis particularly attractive to active couples who want to spend a significant amount of their holiday outdoors.
At the same time, there is plenty of opportunity to slow down. You can play golf or spend the morning on the water and still have a relaxed afternoon on the beach.
Choose Paradis if golf, water sports and an exceptional natural setting are important parts of your ideal Mauritius holiday.
Dinarobin Beachcomber: Best for Peace and Couples
Dinarobin Beachcomber Golf Resort & Spa shares the remarkable Le Morne setting with neighbouring Paradis, but the overall mood is different.
Dinarobin tends to appeal to travellers looking for a quieter, more refined experience. The resort’s tropical gardens, suite-style accommodation and position beneath Le Morne Brabant create an atmosphere that encourages a slower pace.
It is particularly well suited to couples, honeymooners, and travellers who value privacy and peaceful surroundings over a busy programme of activities.
Choosing Dinarobin does not mean giving up the active side of Le Morne. The wider resort environment gives guests access to golf, water activities, and opportunities to explore the area. The difference is that you return to a property where tranquillity is central to the experience.
Choose Dinarobin if you like the Le Morne location but prefer a calmer, more intimate atmosphere than an activity-led holiday.
Trou aux Biches Beachcomber: Best for Beach Lovers and Longer Stays
Trou aux Biches Beachcomber Golf Resort & Spa is a strong all-round choice, particularly for travellers who expect to spend a week or longer in Mauritius.
Its location on the north-west coast offers the beach setting many travellers imagine before arriving on the island, while its accommodation and extensive resort grounds make longer stays comfortable.
The resort works for both couples and families, which is useful when travelling as part of a larger group with different requirements. Couples can enjoy privacy and relaxed days together, while families have the space and facilities needed for a more active holiday.
Dining variety also becomes increasingly important on longer stays, and a larger resort environment can provide more ways to vary your routine as the holiday progresses.
Choose Trou aux Biches if the beach is a major priority and you want a versatile resort that works particularly well for an extended stay in Mauritius.
Royal Palm Beachcomber: Best for Privacy and Luxury
Royal Palm Beachcomber Luxury sits in a different category from the other seven properties. It is the obvious resort to consider when the quality and exclusivity of the experience matter more than keeping the package price down.
Its smaller scale, suite accommodation, refined dining and highly personalised approach to service create a more intimate environment. Rather than competing through the sheer number of facilities, Royal Palm focuses on detail, privacy and consistency.
The Grand Baie location is another advantage. Guests can enjoy a secluded luxury atmosphere while remaining close to one of Mauritius’ most popular coastal areas.
Royal Palm is particularly well-suited for honeymoons, anniversaries, milestone celebrations, and travellers willing to spend more for greater privacy and attentive service.
Choose Royal Palm if you want an intimate luxury experience and will genuinely appreciate the extra service, space, and exclusivity.
Think About Location Before Comparing Rooms
Room categories matter, but the part of Mauritius you choose will shape every day of your holiday.
Mauricia places you directly in Grand Baie, while Canonnier and Trou aux Biches give you access to the attractions of the north and north-west. Victoria provides a relaxed west-coast-style experience, while Paradis and Dinarobin immerse you in the dramatic landscape around Le Morne.
Shandrani offers something very different again on the south-east coast, with its peninsula setting and proximity to Blue Bay Marine Park.
Think about whether you intend to explore. If you expect to remain at the resort for most of the holiday, its facilities, beach and atmosphere become especially important. If you plan to head out regularly, location and access to the parts of Mauritius you want to see should carry more weight.
Consider Who You Are Travelling With
The same resort can feel completely different depending on who you’re travelling with.
A couple on honeymoon may love Dinarobin’s peaceful environment or Royal Palm’s exclusivity. A family with young children may find Victoria’s space and easygoing atmosphere much more practical. Active teenagers may appreciate the variety at Shandrani, while a group of adults could enjoy the flexibility of staying close to Grand Baie at Mauricia.
Multigenerational groups should pay particular attention to this. Grandparents, parents, and children may all have different expectations, so an adaptable resort such as Victoria or Trou aux Biches is worth considering.
Don’t choose the property that looks most impressive in photographs. Think about how everyone in your group is likely to spend an ordinary day there.
Match Your Budget to the Things You Actually Value
The most expensive resort is not automatically the best choice for your holiday.
If you plan to spend much of the week golfing and enjoying water sports, the luxury experience at Royal Palm may not be as valuable to you as staying at Paradis. If your family wants space and convenient facilities, Victoria may make more sense than choosing a higher-priced property simply because it appears more exclusive.
The same applies when comparing room categories. Before upgrading, consider whether you will genuinely use the extra space, location or facilities included with the higher category.
A useful way to approach the decision is to identify the three things that matter most to you. They might be beach quality, golf and privacy, or perhaps family facilities, accommodation space and dining. Once those priorities are clear, comparing the eight resorts becomes considerably easier.
Finding the Beachcomber Resort That Fits Your Holiday
Beachcomber’s eight Mauritius resorts are different enough that you don’t need to search for a single winner. Mauricia suits travellers who enjoy the energy and convenience of Grand Baie. Canonnier combines family appeal with a distinctive historic setting, while Victoria stands out for space and uncomplicated family holidays. Shandrani is an excellent choice when activities and variety matter most.
On the Le Morne Peninsula, Paradis is particularly appealing to golfers and active couples, while Dinarobin offers a quieter alternative for travellers seeking more privacy. Trou aux Biches combines an excellent beachfront setting with the versatility needed for longer stays, and Royal Palm offers the most exclusive option for guests who put exceptional service, dining, and privacy at the top of their priorities.
The easiest way to choose is to forget about finding the resort with the longest list of facilities and focus instead on the experience you want each day. Once you know whether you want family time, golf, activities, privacy, nightlife, beaches, or luxury, it becomes much easier to find the right resort in our Beachcomber Holiday Packages.
