Our commitment to our guests

At Beachcomber Resorts & Hotels, ensuring a safe and healthy environment for our Guests and Artisans has always been of the utmost importance. This is clearly set out in our Safety & Health Policy and part of our numerous safety protocols and procedures. In response to the current COVID-19 crisis, we have implemented heightened standards and safeguards ahead of the reopening of our resorts. Our Group has teamed up with LIBA, an ISO 17025 accredited international bioanalytical laboratory, to help confirm to all stakeholders through our SAFE PLACE label the safety and hygiene practices and measures we have in place. We are reopening our properties and wish to reassure our partners, teams and holidaymakers alike that we are providing them with the safest environment, fully compliant to sanitary measures set up by local authorities, World Health Organisation recommendations and industry best practices. 

Safe Guest Journey

The Group has been actively engaged over the years implementing an array of health and safety measures, such as HACCP certification of its hotels, annual legionella risk assessments, continuous water quality testing and annual air quality monitoring by SGS and QuantiLab. The SAFE PLACE label provides an additional guarantee that Mauritius remains the world’s best holiday destination for its quality of service and beautiful natural environment as well as the high level of safety offered to holidaymakers throughout their stay. Foreign visitors who are fond of Mauritius are welcome to visit Beachcomber hotels for the most exclusive and relaxing holiday experience.
