Royal Palm Hotel

The world famous Royal Palm Mauritius Hotel was the first hotel in the Indian Ocean to become a member of The Leading Hotels of the World and continues, to this day, to set the standard in terms of luxury.

Set on an amazing stretch of beach and just a short walk to lively Grand Baie, the elegant yet welcoming Royal Palm is renowned for its flawless service and outstanding hospitality: hotel staff outnumber guests by three to one, assuring every guest total relaxation and outstanding service.

A highlight here is the superb cuisine from internationally recognised chefs; their celebrated talents have earned the hotel a reputation as one of the island’s most desirable places to dine.
