About Canonnier Beachcomber Golf Resort & Spa

Furnished with warm tones, wood hues the colour of sunset, rustic thatch roofs and lush vegetation surrounding you wherever you are on the gorgeous grounds of this spectacular resort, Le Canonnier is its own category of paradise.

This hotel is on a prime Grand Bay property, perched on a peninsula with two beaches, each offering a different view. Woven into the legacy of the hotel is a little piece of Mauritius’ rich cultural history, blending old and new in innovative, creative ways: The old lighthouse now serves as a venue for the Mini-Club and the wellness centre has been built in the branches of an ancient Banyan tree.

Le Canonnier has always remained a favoured family hotel, with endless entertainment for adults and children alike. Its close proximity to Grand Bay gives you the option of retail therapy, while the hotel’s tree-top wellness centre, built in the branches of a centuries-old Banyan tree, has other therapies on offer to ease weary minds and bodies. Le Canonnier is a vibrant hotel. While it’s the resort of choice for the fun-loving fraternity, it’s been built with sheer relaxation in mind – the perfect balance for the ideal vacation.

Elegant simplicity best describes this hotel, which is designed to maximize the unbelievable views outside your window. Strategically designed lighting that coaxes you gently to unwind and relax. These are some of the signature features of Le Canonnier. Every room looks out onto the beauty of Mauritius, with either a sea view or a view of lush tropical gardens.  Step inside a cleverly designed mix of island elements and modern style.

About Beachcomber

Le Canonnier is located on a peninsula at the northern tip of the island. The breath-taking view over the islets of the north coast and the Port Louis mountain range is spectacular, while the authentic Mauritian atmosphere is complemented by overtones of African and Oriental décor. The hotel is set in seven hectares of tropical garden with relics of the past, a lighthouse, ruins of ancient fortifications and old cannons. A unique feature of Le Canonnier is its two completely separate beaches, giving guests a different view of the panoramic seascape from wherever they choose to relax. A big attraction is Le Banyan Wellness Centre, built in the branches of a centuries-old Banyan tree. Rustic stone steps lead up to the treatment cabins, which look out on to peaceful pools and outdoor relaxation areas. Le Canonnier’s proximity to Grand Bay makes access easy for shopping and enjoying the international atmosphere at many restaurants and bars. Grand Bay is also the departure point for many enjoyable excursions by boat.

Mauritius is a year-round destination. Temperatures during the warm, dry months between April and October are usually in the mid-20s (degrees Celsius), rising to the upper 20s in the summer months between November and March. During the summer months, tropical weather may cause storms and heavy rain, occasionally resulting in a cyclone.
