The most prestigious address of the Indian Ocean A world like no other When you want to describe Royal Palm, you do not look for adjectives and superlatives, but for emotions. You can’t help but being touched by Royal Palm. It takes you by surprise. First, the architecture, a boutique-palace that spells intimacy and confidentiality but yet feels like home: it seems as if you just picked up a conversation, back where you left it, years ago, with the dearest of friends, for Royal Palm speaks to your heart. Feelings flow swiftly: exaltation, satisfaction, and a subdued sweet nostalgia provoked by the awareness of being clad in a timeless capsule and being part of something grand and special. Royal Palm embodies what the French would call a “grande maison???; an appellation which says it all. Nothing can prepare you for the Royal Palm’s experience; you have to live it to understand part of what it is about; it is the hotel with sunshine to spread. At Royal Palm, time becomes subjective: a succession of moments, those which leave their indelible print on your heart, beyond the memory. You are greeted with the legendary Mauritian welcome. A smile, true and generous, on all the lips. Wherever you are, on the terrace of your Suite, in one of the 3 divine restaurants, protected by small straw huts on the beach, or in the luxurious Spa, our team is dedicated to make you feel at home. At Royal Palm, everything seems to fall into place... Naturally. Accommodation With discreet and refined luxury, an attentive and personalised service, Royal Palm sublimates your privacy. A sophisticated décor and furniture are disposed with an exquisite taste in each of the 84 Suites. Each Suite has a story about it, you guess that the walls are full of marvellous souvenirs, which add to their charm. Each object has been allocated to its perfect spot. Here a folding partition offers an enchanting display of bright colours, a graciously chiselled table evokes the Indian Empire, and magnificent rugs decorate the floors. The attention to detail is omnipresent: fresh exotic fruits laid out everyday in a delicate manner by your valet. Everything is soft and smooth; you feel serene. The Royal Suite has all the charm and luxury of the most sumptuous residences of the world. The regular visitors with the distinction that comes with their names call it “THE 135???. A pure architectural bijou, this elegant Suite transcends the notions of space on more than 300 m² and 2 floors. A small corridor on one wing of the Suite, leads to a small chamber, where valets come in and out to attend to your needs. Only your clothes delicately arranged in the walk-in wardrobe are proofs of their furtive passage. From the superb drapes to the antiques and paintings, everything here exults luxury and refinement. Noble fabrics and materials are used for an additional touch to the Suite’s éclat. The shine of the gorgeous floors is brought up by smooth rugs, which are an invitation to caress. Intimacy is privileged: 2 bedrooms with private bathrooms with whirlpool bath and hammam. The common areas are also delightfully apportioned: an elegant salon with contemporary furnishings opens onto a picture-perfect gazebo, entirely made of wood and designed to enhance romance and tranquillity, an ideal place to dine under the stars. A private swimming pool, embellished by beautiful pebbles, is embedded in the wooden floors, and overlooks the beach and the immensity of the ocean. Land sports and activities Royal Palm features a cardio-fitness centre on top of a gorgeous Spa by Clarins. You can also play tennis and squash or visit the fantastic duty-free shops clad in its premises. Water activities You can choose from a pool of activities to make the most of a fabulous lagoon: water skiing, windsurfing, sailing and, the ultimate luxury, an exclusive excursion on a private yacht. A Spa by Clarins that looks like a painting from Matisse… and a promise of a voyage to the land of mille-et-une-nuits. The elegant décor will take you to the enchanting Orient with warm passionate colours: variations of red, which the flirtatious sun fades to shades of deep orange, and ochre… All the details have been carefully selected here to recreate this atmosphere of mystery, charm, richness and elegance that only an oriental décor can bring. Here, a profusion of cushions made of soft and fluid material, seem to launch an invitation to caress and touch. There, a Moresque-style door leads you to an open space where you listen to the tumbling waters and cascades. So relaxing. And in this heaven of peace and beauty, hidden from prying eyes, behind the Royal Palm, professional care, brought to you by Clarins… The facilities are extensive: 2 saunas, 2 hammams, 6 massage rooms, 1 balneotherapy room, a pool and a beauty parlour. Poetry, beyond words… Miniclub Royal Palm also caters for the younger ones. They come, they see and they are conquered. Each day they go and enjoy the water activities under the supervision of a caring and qualified staff or even practice squash and tennis. They always discover with an immense pleasure, the Special Buffet, where they can give way to their childish “gourmandise???. Other activities are also proposed: carving of sculptures in soaps, competitions of tennis, games in the pool, outings in glass bottom boats and movie shows under the stars.
