The Best Hotels Near Royal Palm Beachcomber Luxury, by the Record
-
A cliff-top infinity pool overlooking a sheltered Mauritian cove sets the mood before you've even unpacked. This adults-only boutique hotel is built for couples who want to do very little, and very slowly: thatched bungalows, four-poster beds draped in muslin, sea-facing balconies, and an all-day rum bar that removes any remaining ambition. Four restaurants, live music every night, and lantern-lit garden walks fill the gaps.

Tucked into forested hills above Chamarel village, this owner-run lodge skips TVs entirely in favor of winding garden paths, bird calls, and yoga under an open marquee. Suites and villas come scattered through tropical gardens, many with private pools and open-air showers framed by frangipani. Meals lean into Mauritian tradition, and afternoons dissolve into hammocks or a massage behind bamboo walls. Small, personal, and shaped more by nature than by amenity lists.
