Royal Palm Beachcomber Luxury celebrates 40 years of timeless elegance
Four decades of excellence. One legendary destination.
A celebration like no other
In 2025, the Royal Palm Beachcomber Luxury proudly celebrates its 40th anniversary—a landmark moment for Mauritius' most iconic resort. For four decades, this legendary address has redefined the art of hospitality, enchanting guests with its unmatched service, refined ambiance, and idyllic beachfront setting.
As the festivities unfold throughout the year, guests are invited to experience a renewed spirit of elegance, creativity, and heartfelt Mauritian warmth.
Join us for a series of exceptional events from October 13–19, 2025, including:
- Sunset Fashion Show (Oct 13) by Sloane Mauritius, featuring eco-luxury designs.
- Beachside Royal Grill (Oct 15) with the Rhythms of India, an Indian dance performance.
- A Valmont masterclass on October 16.
- 10-Hand Gourmet Dinner (Oct 17) with the current chefs, William Girard and Stéphane Baptiste, with three former emblematic chefs Richard Ekkebus, Michel de Matteis and Chef L’Étang.
- Mauritian Night (Oct 19) with authentic cuisine and séga music.
As the Culinary Director of The Landmark Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong, Richard Ekkebus oversees all the culinary operations at one of the city’s most prestigious addresses. Under his leadership for almost two decades, the hotel’s contemporary French fine-dining establishment Amber has recently been honoured with Three-Michelin-star status in 2025, and prior to that, Amber has attained two Michelin stars for 16 consecutive years since 2008, and the Michelin Green Star since 2022. Among the over ten thousand restaurants selected for the Guide globally, only 35 have achieved the highest recognition of both Three Michelin Stars and a Green Star—four of which are in Asia, including Amber.

 | Michel de Matteis began his culinary journey at the Casino de Charbonnières-les-Bains before building a career defined by success and recognition. From the kitchens of the Royal Monceau in Paris to the Hôtel Mirabeau in Monaco, and the iconic Tour d’Argent, his path eventually led him to Mauritius. In 2003, he chose to make Royal Palm Beachcomber Luxury his home for 17 remarkable years. His time there was not only a professional milestone but also a deeply enriching cultural and personal experience. He was inspired by the dedication of his teams, the high standards of a prestigious establishment like the Royal Palm, and the vibrant flavours of his adopted island, which infused his culinary creations with new depth.
