Beachcomber Magazine 03

An island within an island, where each space is given over to light, to nature, to freedom. Canonnier Beachcomber is an enchantment for young and old. A t the tip of the island, in other words, at the end of the world. Alone with the lagoon, the sky and the palm trees. Set in a semicircle around the palm grove, two white wings housing the guestrooms open on to the lagoon. Far from the hustle and bustle, the brand new Kids Club, fully redesigned to include the natural habitat. To welcome your little ones, four big tents are camped around a play area on the sand. Annabelle and a team of six young Mauritian women – and, if necessary, there are individual child-minders. Little poufs where they can curl up, a corner for reading and board games, zumba and ra- vanne drums, all the colours of the rainbow plus paintbrushes to bring out their creative side... And there’s even a veg garden where all the children are encouraged to plant herbs. Oh, and I nearly forgot, themini-Olympics on the beach plus sandcastles, hunting for crabs and fishing with nets. Fun, educational, energetic and eco-friendly, the Kids Club is open for kids from 3 to 11. As for your teenagers, Canonnier Beachcomber is hard to beat! There’s the ancient fort under siege: not by English garrisons, but by young people from all over the world. Revamped with techno music, the fort – with all its treasures: billiards, table football, and the latest video games – is their personal den. It won’t be easy to drag them away. Probably better to go and see them... unless of course they’ve already set off for other activities: diving, stand-up paddle, kayak, or a round of beach volley, golf, archery, or even an escapade with Nathaniel, further inland... or maybe even somewhere else... Good luck!  DENS FOR FRIENDS Canonnier Beachcomber Golf Resort & Spa RESORTS THE ART OF BEAUTIFUL 96
