Canonnier Beachcomber

Frolicking on the two private beaches or in the 17-acre tropical garden are definite highlights for holiday-goers at Canonnier Beachcomber. Just ten minutes from one of Mauritius’s bustling tourist hubs, Grand-Baie, this family-friendly resort is sprawled across a peninsula overlooking the island nation’s northern islets and offers endless entertainment for couples, friends and families alike.

Grand-Baie is dotted with pearly beaches lapped by calm waters – ideal conditions for the plethora of water sports on offer in and around the town. Guests can wander around markets, bargaining with touts, or bar hop between cosy beachfront restaurants and local hangouts. That being said, with so much to entertain at Canonnier, guests will be hard-pressed to leave the luxurious the resort.

The lush gardens of this peninsula hideaway are dotted with two rim-flow pools and glistening ponds. Luxuriate in a massage at the wellness centre located in a 200-year-old tree or enjoy sumptuous buffets at the resort’s three restaurants, one of which – Le Navigator – overlooks Coin de Mire island. Families and friends travelling together can choose Canonnier’s two-bedroom apartments, while couples may favour the Honeymoon Suite.
