A family-favourite village-style resort set amongst lush gardens with sweeping ocean views and a vast array of activities.
Situated on the northwest of the island, on an idyllic sheltered stretch of sandy beach, Trou aux Biches Resort & Spa has excellent sea swimming and is a quick potter into town. This sweeping, village-style hotel knows how to do family fun while retaining a sense of style and intimacy.
There are floodlit tennis courts, bikes to borrow, and free watersports including waterskiing from the boathouse and paddle boarding, as well as a state-of-the-art kids’ and teens’ club.
The two- and three-bedroom family villas are a great choice, set around swimming pools. Beachfront Suites have private pools. The enormous spa, with thatched pavilions by the pool, includes a balneotherapy room, two hammams and two saunas.
Meanwhile, there are six restaurants, from Thai at Blue Ginger, Italian at II Corallo or casual beachfront at la Caravelle.

The hotel is one of the most sustainable on the island, with solar-heating panels, composting and waste water treatment.
The village of Grand Baie is a 15 minute drive away where you’ll find lively bars, restaurants and local craft markets.
Walk along the beach at sunset – it stretches over two kilometres.
