WEST IS BEST

The most equable climate is to be found on the west coast of Mauritius. Seven of Beachcomber’s eight properties are located along this coast, with the eighth hotel occupying occupying a prime location near the airport. Generally the weather is warm and sunny ensuring year-round holidayenjoyment.

Mauritius lies like a rich green emerald in the turquoise velvet of the Indian Ocean. Reached from South Africa by daily flights, it has all the elements of the ultimate escape at a price you can afford. Mauritius is a sophisticated tourist destination. Quality and high standards apply to every aspect of the infrastructure; accommodation, food and service in the hotels, sightseeing, transportation and attractions.

Shoppers can find good value and high quality goods. The people are welcoming, warm and friendly. Their pride in the tiny island republic is reflected in their prosperity and good standards of living.

Mauritius’ greatest assets as a holiday destination are its beautiful, white, sandy beaches, naturally protected by a coral reef which almost encircles the entire island. The clear, calm waters off the coast make conditions ideal for all kinds of watersports, which include scuba diving, snorkelling, windsurfing and waterskiing. Outside the reef are some of the most prolific deep sea fishing areas, particularly off Le Morne Peninsula where the marlin breeding grounds yield record trophies annually.

BEACHCOMBER KIDS

Beachcomber Hotels place a strong emphasis on family holidays. While adults will appreciate the best standards of quality and service, the young are not forgotten when it comes to entertainment, meals and excursions. Evening events are planned to keep young guests busy while their parents are dining. Holiday time is the best for learning new sports and skills. Professionally trained staff at Beachcomber’s hotels will assist with coaching in water-skiing, sailing or windsurfing. Diving lessons come at extra charge as do lessons in kite surfing. Facilities vary from hotel to hotel, with some offering different activities depending on availability and location – for instance, golf lessons will only apply to hotels with courses available.

BOB MARLIN CHILDREN’ S CLUB

Beachcomber’s Bob Marlin mini-clubs are all housed in specially built, child friendly “houses”, equipped with every toy, game and facility to appeal to the young. Activities are geared for two age groups, from three to six years with a different focus for the seven to twelve year olds. Bob Marlin mini-club staff members are well trained in child minding and entertainment, and are qualified to deal with any problems or emergencies. Most of them are multilingual for ease of communication with the cosmopolitan collection of youthful guests. Bob Marlin is open from after breakfast, until nine o’clock at night. Lunch is at an extra cost and dinner is provided featuring dishes which particularly appeal to children. Depending on the time of year, and mainly during the school holidays, individual hotels may plan special meals and theme evenings such as a fancy dress, a Halloween party or a sega evening. Otherwise, Bob Marlin staff will accompany their small charges to one of the hotel’s restaurants where a suitable menu will be served.

Children are well catered for by members of the boathouse staff. They will patiently teach them to waterski, to sail or windsurf. Tennis and golf lessons form part of the daily activities for older children – a good way to get started on a sport for later life.

Children have an excellent opportunity to master the art of sailing at Shandrani, where an internationally recognised sailing course is available at extra charge.
