Beachcomber Magazine 03

Between culture and nature, Victoria Beachcomber houses infinite treasures. T o the northwest of the island, between Grand Baie and the capital Port Louis, not far from the famous botanical garden of Pamplemousses, the church of Saint Francis of Assisi and its little cemetery where Baude- laire’s Dame créole and Napoleon’s chaplain were laid to rest, the Victoria Beachcomber is the doorway to a land once dominated by queens (Victoria) and kings (LouisXV). Here, history is all around. Nature abounds too. The Victoria Beachcomber cultivates its elegant gardens, covering more than 24 acres, which house the apartments, rooms and suites overlooking the sea. For a romantic tête-à-tête or with the whole clan, in your room with terrace overlooking the lagoon, or in your individual apartment or private suite, or far from the madding crowd, in the new paradise Victoria for 2, reserved for adults, the Victoria Beachcomber Resort & Spa has something for everyone. And eating out is no different. In addition to the Moris Beef restaurant and the Nautil Café reserved for guests at the Victoria for 2, there are some magnificent restaurants: Le Superbe with memorable buffets and, at each end of the beach, L’Horizon and La Casa – one for freshly caught fish, and the other for Italian specialities. Plus of course Le Bar, by the pool edge, for your happy teenage night birds. Long live Victoria!  THE QUEEN’S REFUGE Victoria Beachcomber Resort & Spa RESORTS THE ART OF BEAUTIFUL 90
