What if your next golfing holiday looked like this?🌴⛳️

Imagine teeing off with the magnificent Le Morne mountain behind you, the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean beside you, and palm trees lining the fairways.

Welcome to Paradis Beachcomber Golf Resort & Spa, Mauritius.

We’ve been spending time exploring this beautiful resort, including its spectacular golf course, and it’s easy to see why this is such a special destination for a golfing holiday.

Set within the resort’s grounds, Paradis Golf Club is an 18-hole, par-72 championship course stretching 5,924 metres, with fairways winding through tropical gardens and alongside the breathtaking lagoon.

And there’s so much more to discover.

Whether you’re an experienced golfer or someone who would love to learn, there’s a dedicated Golf Academy, professional coaching and golf packages available to make the most of your stay.

But what we particularly love is that you don’t all have to be golfers to enjoy it.

While some of your party enjoy a morning on the course, others can relax on the beautiful beach, enjoy the spa, explore the lagoon or simply make the most of everything this wonderful resort has to offer.

And for something truly special?

Imagine staying together in one of the resort’s luxurious private Paradis Villas, complete with your own swimming pool, beautiful living spaces and a complimentary golf buggy to use throughout your stay.

Perfect for families, couples travelling together or a group of friends who want the freedom of a private villa with all the facilities and hospitality of a luxury Beachcomber resort.

A golfing holiday that feels like a proper holiday for everyone.

We’re here in Mauritius experiencing these resorts firsthand, meeting the teams and discovering those little details that can make all the difference when planning your escape.

If Mauritius has been on your wish list, whether for golf, a family celebration or simply somewhere rather special, we’d love to help you plan it.

We make booking a holiday feel like a holiday.

✨Some hotels impress you. Others have a presence you feel the moment you arrive.

Royal Palm is one of those hotels.

We’ve just spent two nights at this Mauritian icon and, after more than 40 years at the very top of luxury hospitality, there’s a confidence here that doesn’t need to shout.

Opened in 1985, Royal Palm became the first hotel in Mauritius to join The Leading Hotels of the World and today holds the prestigious Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star rating.

Royal Palm has long been the jewel in Beachcomber Luxury’s crown - an icon of Mauritian hospitality with more than four decades of pedigree behind it.

But it wasn’t the accolades that impressed us most.

With just 69 ocean-facing suites, Royal Palm feels intimate, peaceful and beautifully understated. There’s an old-school elegance here that we absolutely loved.

And then there are the details.

Acqua di Parma toiletries in your suite. The beautiful Valmont Spa. Impeccable beach and pool service, Breakfast overlooking the Indian Ocean and most watersports included in your stay.

And, perhaps most importantly, a team who remember you, anticipate the little things and make exceptional service feel completely effortless.

Nothing feels showy. Nothing feels mass-produced. It simply feels special.

Would we change anything?

At this level, we felt the food could have been stronger in places and, with only two restaurants available for dinner during our stay, we would have welcomed a little more choice.

But that’s exactly why we experience these hotels ourselves.

Luxury isn’t about pretending somewhere is perfect. It’s about understanding what makes it special, noticing the details and knowing who it will be perfect for.

For us, Royal Palm is about privacy, tranquillity, exceptional service and a style of luxury that feels increasingly rare.

You can see beautiful photographs online.

But you can’t Google how a hotel feels.

And Royal Palm has a feeling all of its own.

Au revoir, Royal Palm. You were very special indeed.

Who’s dreaming of the Indian Ocean?

Because if you think Mauritius is just for honeymoons… think again.

We’re here right now, experiencing the island first-hand, and one thing has really stood out to us - Mauritius can work for so many different types of holiday.

Families can have brilliant resorts with kids’ clubs and activities throughout the day, from kayaking and paddleboarding to snorkelling and tennis, Mini golf with so much included depending on the hotel and board basis.

Couples can find beautiful beaches, fantastic food and adults-only spaces.

Celebrating something special? There are some seriously luxurious hotels where the service and attention to detail are on another level.

And if you simply want to switch off, look out over the Indian Ocean and wonder why you didn’t come sooner… Mauritius does that rather well too.

Yes, we’re enjoying ourselves while we’re here - but we’re also working.

We’re staying in the beautiful Beachcomber resorts and visiting different hotels across the island, experiencing the rooms, food, beaches, facilities, locations and service for ourselves, so when we recommend a Mauritius holiday, we know who each hotel is actually right for.

And we don’t charge you a planning fee for that expertise.

So, who’s ready for Mauritius?

Drop us a message and let’s start planning your Indian Ocean escape.

We make booking a holiday feel like a holiday.

I’d love to travel… but I don’t have anyone to go with?

We hear this more often than you might think.

But travelling solo doesn’t have to mean travelling alone.

It could be a small-group adventure, a river cruise, a cultural tour, a relaxing escape - or something completely tailored around you.

We also work closely with some fantastic preferred partners for solo travel, including Riviera Travel and Just You, with selected holidays and departures available without a single supplement. That can make a real difference when you’re travelling on your own.

And perhaps most importantly, you don’t have to figure it all out yourself.

We’ll help you find the right style of holiday, talk through the options and look after the details. From that first conversation until you return home, you’ll have Ian & Rich there every step of the way.

So if there’s somewhere you’ve always wanted to visit but you’ve been waiting for someone to go with…

Maybe it’s time to stop waiting.

Drop us a message and let’s have a chat.

Mauritius. We get it now. 🇲🇺

We’ve sold Mauritius. We’ve researched Mauritius. We’ve spoken to our trusted partners here for years.

But there’s nothing quite like experiencing it for yourself.

We’re currently here in Mauritius with Beachcomber, experiencing the hotels, the beaches, the food and those little details that can make the difference between a good holiday and the right holiday.

And over the next two weeks, we’ll be seeing even more.

So if Mauritius has been sitting on your wish list, now is a very good time to talk to us.

Tell us what matters to you - adults only, family, honeymoon, incredible beach, great food, golf, spa, luxury - and we’ll help match you to the right resort.

We’re not recommending it from a brochure. We’re recommending it from Mauritius.

Thinking about flying Business or First Class for your next escape?

As Personal Travel Consultants, we’re increasingly booking premium cabins for our clients - and we believe there’s no substitute for experiencing the product first-hand.

So, on our journey to Mauritius, it was time for us to experience Emirates Business Class onboard the iconic A380.

And from the moment we boarded, it felt less like stepping onto an aircraft and more like checking into a luxury boutique hotel.

Travelling on the upper deck of the double-decker A380 meant our experience began with priority boarding through a dedicated airbridge, followed by a warm welcome onboard with a glass of Moët & Chandon and a hot towel.

Once settled into Business Class, the attention to detail continued. Our seats had their own minibar, Emirates’ world-leading ICE entertainment system and a seat that transformed into fully flat beds, complete with mattress toppers, pillows and blankets.

Then there were those little touches that really define a luxury experience.

Beautifully presented dining served on Royal Doulton crockery with Robert Welch cutlery, Ch*****ne poured at your seat and a Bvlgari amenity kit waiting onboard.

They may sound like small details, but when you’re choosing a premium cabin, these are exactly the things we want to experience and understand for our clients.

And one of the real highlights? The famous Emirates A380 onboard lounge.

There’s something rather special about walking to the back of the aircraft, taking a seat at the bar and enjoying a glass of Moët at 39,000 feet.

For us, experiencing Business Class isn’t simply about enjoying a little luxury. It gives us first-hand knowledge of the products we recommend and book for our clients - right down to those finer details that can make all the difference.

Because luxury travel doesn’t have to start when you arrive at your hotel.

Sometimes, it starts the moment you step onboard.

Thinking about Business or First Class for your next escape? Let’s talk.

Tomorrow, it’s our turn… Mauritius awaits. 🇲🇺

The travel documents have arrived, the passports are ready and after months of planning holidays for our wonderful clients, tomorrow we’ll be experiencing the journey for ourselves.

We’re heading to Mauritius with Beachcomber Tours, spending two weeks experiencing some of the island’s most beautiful hotels, restaurants and resorts first-hand.

For us, luxury travel is about so much more than a beautiful hotel. It’s the service, the location, the room you choose, where you dine and all those little details you simply can’t learn from a brochure.

That’s why these trips matter. We experience it, build the relationships and come home with even more knowledge to create exceptional Mauritius holidays for our clients.

We’ll still be working while we’re away, although replies may occasionally be a little slower than usual. And one of the lovely things about Mauritius? Very little jet lag - it’s only three hours ahead of the UK. So we won’t be disappearing for long!

Mauritius… we’re coming for you. 🇲🇺
