Shandrani Beachcomber Resort & Spa

The holiday you've been dreaming of! When you see the pictures of Mauritius in brochures at your travel agent, this is the exact view you are greeted with at Shandrani Beachcomber. Upon arrival you are greeted by the most friendly staff who are organized and ready to make check-in seamless. You are handed a cool towel and a refreshing drink whereafter the formalities of check-in are completed. The resort is absolutely breathtakingly beautiful, it's like a postcard you see only on TV. We stayed in a Superior Room which was very large with beautiful furnishings. The mini bar stocked to your delight with yummy goodies (restocked daily). The restaurants are a sight to behold, food to satisfy every taste bud! Something for everyone and options beyond your wildest dreams. The pool area was our absolute favourite, the sheer size of the pool and the view tells you, you are on holiday in paradise. The facilities and activities offered are more than enough for everyone aged 1-99 years old. This resort is massive and we enjoyed walking around and taking in the sounds and sights of the sea, beach and people. The food, the drinks, the staff, the facilities, the on site shop what more could a person want or need!?! The absolute best holiday I have ever had, I cannot explain enough the beauty of this paradise resort.

Great experience with the captain on two trips at Shandrani. We sailed into the lagoon after smooth sailings as the weather was good. Safety explanations given then on our way. Sadly we did not see the turtle but saw a myriad of fish. The flute fish was everyones favourite. Well done Jean Francois we thoroughly enjoyed the diving trips with you.

I can’t express just how much we thoroughly enjoyed the Shandrani resort. From the moment we arrived we were treated as the most special guests. We went there to celebrate 10 years of being together and it was such a treat. The secret weapon this resort has that outshines all other resorts is the option of 3 different beaches that each have their own vibe to it. The first is where they also do the water skiing and where you can depart on day trips, snorkeling and glass bottom boat trips, it’s very nice to swim at this beach with minimum rocks and coral. The second beach is where you’ll be able to snorkel from and also do all the other water activities like sailing, stand up paddling, kayaking and wind surfing. Beach 1 and 2 also has pools close by them and beach service that keeps your thirst quenched all day long. A special shout out to Krisnee who always made sure we had fresh beach towels every day. Beach three has a lot of waves and a stronger current so pay attention to the specific areas where you are allowed to swim. The food throughout was incredible, from the buffet to their specialty restaurants. A personal favorite of mine was the Indian themed buffet night with the sweet meats for dessert and mango lassi’s. The wait staff was always so friendly, our server on our first night, Christnoa, always made an effort to greet us when he saw us again and always made sure we had what we wanted or needed. Ahkshay, one of the other friendly servers also always greeted us when he saw us and made time to check if we were satisfied. A few of the other staff that also helped us and that we’ll always remember was Sanjay who took us on a cycling trip to the closest town and market, thank you for being so kind and patient. Thank you to Hugo who taught my husband how to sail. This was for sure one of his highlights! You were such a good and friendly teacher. Thank you to Andy who took us out on our Anniversary boat trip and Glass bottom boat trip. He managed to spot Michael, the sea turtle and that will forever be one of my biggest highlight moments. Also thank you to the rest of the boat house staff and sport centre staff for hosting a beach party with drinks and food. We so enjoyed being able to meet everyone and get to know everyone. We look forward to returning here again one day!
