Trou aux Biches HotelHotel in Mauritius

Nikki O'Hare, Mauritius

Trou Aux Biches is a 5* superior hotel in the northwest coast of Mauritius. In my opinion this hotel is absolutely stunning and perfectly suited for honeymooners and families alike. The beach area is beautiful and the public areas are outstanding. The hotel has beautifully decorated rooms including Tropical Junior suites with outdoor rain showers and two bedroom family suites, with two bathrooms which will provide the perfect base regardless of the size of your party. The setting is totally idyllic, with live entertainment each evening you can choose to be as relaxed or as lively as you wish. This is one of my top five resorts in Mauritius.

  • Nikki O'hare

The 5 star superior Trou aux Biches Hotel has been recently renovated and is set in lush tropical gardens, on the island’s North-west coast. The hotel was completely demolished and rebuilt with a focus on tropical elegance, comfort, privacy and luxury. The hotel offers its guests one of the best beaches in Mauritius and accommodation in individual chalets arranged individually or in crescents throughout a shady palm grove. With the new opening, the hotel also offers luxurious 2 and 3 bedroom villas.

Facilities at the resort will include six restaurants, numerous pools set within the gardens and a vast range of land and water sports.
