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 a prime location near the airport. Generally the weather is warm and sunny ensuring year-round holiday enjoyment.

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.
