Royal Palm reopens after major refurb
BEACHCOMBER’S Royal Palm in Mauritius has reopened after more
than four months of major renovations, with all suites and public
areas being refurbished and redecorated. The hotel now offers 69
suites with sea views and 15 brand-new Ocean Suites. The new
Ocean Suites feature a spacious bedroom, a separate living room,
large bathroom and a double terrace overlooking the gardens
and the sea. Chef, Michel de Matteis, now offers new menus in
the redesigned Goélette Restaurant and Le Bar Plage. La Brezza
restaurant on the open-air terraces overlooking the lagoon has
been rebranded and a new 25-metre pool has been built along
the beach, facing the lagoon. The Royal Princess, a luxury yacht,
measuring 20 metres, lets Royal Palm guests experience a unique
marine adventure with either a day charter to the northern islands, a
sundowner cruise or an overnight trip.
