Royal Palm Hotel Hotel in Mauritius

Sarah Fox, Mauritius

I really liked the very elegant Royal Palm Hotel. It would definitely suit people who like personalised service and attention to detail. The Spa was by far the best I saw on the island and the very sophisticated gym had me awestruck with its state of the art equipment. The hotel struck me as suiting an older clientele rather than a younger honeymoon couple but it would depend on tastes. It is very much understated luxury.

Restaurants & Bars

Our Comments and Suggestions on Dining at Royal Palm:

One of the real benefits of staying at the Royal Palm is that the fantastic cuisine is offered on a half-board á la carte basis allowing you the freedom to enjoy some of the islands finest cuisine (although some specialties will still be at a supplement). The superb kitchens are overseen by head chef Michel de Matteis, who is a winner of numerous awards and was previously employed at several Michelin-starred restaurants across France. A bed and breakfast option is also available for guests.

Additional Information

Royal Palm offers 3 restaurants.

La Goelette is the hotels main restaurant with panoramic views across the bay, serving breakfast and gourmet creole and international cuisine.

Le Bar Plage is the perfect beachfront setting for lunch. All of the tables are set on wooden decking under the shade of a huge Badamier tree. The delicious menu includes light snacks and a selection of chef's salads made using local produce.

The intimate Natureaty Restaurant is located in a stunning spot at the ocean's edge. Everything about the restaurant is open plan, from the kitchen itself to two fabulous terraces for dining under the stars. Its cuisine is focused on exploring the world's cuisine and ingredients. One of the dishes served will include a healthy option with reduced calorie count.

Private Dining - Guests may also enjoy the informal elegance of private dining on their balcony or terrace. Nothing could be more enjoyable than a leisurely breakfast or romantic dinner at a table laid exclusively for you and served by a personal waiter. For small family parties there's also the option of dining at the Captain's Table.

Spa & Treatments

The beautiful spa at the Royal Palm is acknowledged as one of the finest on Mauritius and is set within the gardens. Tranquil indoor and outdoor spaces are centred around a main pool with dedicated cabins for Reiki, Thai massage and Ayurvedic treatments. The spa offers a range of Clarins beauty treatments.

Royal Palm welcomes children, however, it wouldn’t necessarily be our first choice for families. It is a formal and exclusive hotel and unless the children are familiar with this type of environment perhaps it is best for babies or teenagers. In saying that though all the rooms do take children and the kid’s club is extremely well equipped. The Kid’s Club will have your children entertained for as long as you like and babysitting services mean that you can catch up on some much needed time on your own.

Families

Royal Palm offers some good deals for families with children staying free at certain times of the year. Speak to our experts to find out more.
