Trou Aux Biches Beachcomber Resort & Spa, Mauritius

Trou Aux Biches enjoys an enviable position on Mauritius's north west coast, set within lush tropical gardens along a two-kilometre stretch of beach overlooking a calm, sunset-facing lagoon.

The suites are arranged in crescent formations around a central pool, with Beachfront Pool Suites closest to the water and the two- and three-bedroom villas set further back in private walled gardens. Every room category feels modern and spacious, with stylish interiors, and the range of configurations works particularly well for families.

Activities are plentiful: tennis, a fitness centre, mountain biking, water skiing, windsurfing, and an on-site dive centre, all either on the lagoon or nearby. The kids' and teens' clubs are well run, and the spa has 17 treatment cabins. Mont Choisy golf course is just a short distance away, and Trou Aux Biches guests get preferential green fees, buggies, and return transfers. There is also a programme of free activities including live cooking classes and pool games, plus evening entertainment with live music, traditional dance, and DJ sets.

For dining, there are six restaurants and two bars. Mahiya, serving Indian cuisine, is our personal favourite. An optional All Inclusive package can help keep costs under control.

Trou Aux Biches is a well-established resort that genuinely offers something for everyone. It represents good value for money and earns its place on our Highly Recommended list.

The resort will be closed from 15 May to 15 October 2026 for renovation work, which includes a complete refurbishment of every room and a redesign of the Oasis bar and restaurant area.

Mont Choisy Le Golf will be closed from 5 to 14 December for the 2026 AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open.

Trou aux Biches sits on the north western coast of Mauritius, just north of Port Louis, and borrows its name from the neighbouring fishing village. The resort is set within lush gardens on one of the island's most beautiful lagoons, where a protecting coral reef and two kilometres of white sand frame some of the finest swimming and diving water in Mauritius.

Accommodation is arranged in suites and villas, several with private pools, and the design keeps the resort's relaxed character while prioritising space, calm and a close connection with nature.

There are six restaurants to choose from, plus an optional Full Board Plus package that includes drinks with meals.

Facilities are extensive, with a wide range of complimentary land and water sports, free kids' and teens' clubs and a superb spa.
