Royal Palm Beachcomber

The Royal Palm Beachcomber reads like a tropical architectural lexicon, defined by the use of teak, ipe wood, and local stone, while accents of coral, jade, and azure enliven a colour palette of beige and white. This intimate atmosphere has won over the likes of Mick Jagger and Jacques Chirac, and the hotel even served as the filming location for Serenity, starring Anne Hathaway and Matthew McConaughey. In the shade of an Indian almond tree, three restaurants offer cuisine rooted in the local environment, where local catches, spices, and herbs transform the menus into gourmet interpretations of the region. Just minutes away, an 18-hole golf course offers a singular perspective of the island, while the spa features Valmont treatments that draw on ancestral Japanese and Balinese rituals, for moments in which time stands still.

Accommodations

What we like

The movement

A few swings at Mont Choisy Le Golf and its outcrops of black volcanic rock.

The moment

Resting on the generous outdoor daybed of the Villa Royale, where the sea meets the infinity pool.

The flavour

At La Goélette, opt for a Kashmiri de Sacréchien with coconut milk, served with Indian-style rice.
