Trou aux Biches Beachcomber Golf Resort & Spa

Our verdict

Trou aux Biches is the five-star Beachcomber resort we suggest when you want a long white beach, sunsets over the sea and the option of going all-inclusive. It's on the north-west coast, which Beachcomber calls the sunniest on the island, 70 km (about 70 minutes) from the airport. The suites were renovated while the resort was closed from mid-May to mid-October 2026. Every unit is a suite or a villa: most suites are grouped in crescents around shared pools, and the rest are Beachfront Suites with their own pool or Pool Villas with a kitchen and a barbecue area. Families get a free Kids Club open until 23:00, a free Teens Programme and free weekday-afternoon babysitting for babies aged one to two. Couples should book a Beachfront Suite, and golfers have Mont Choisy Le Golf close by. The trade-offs: there's no adults-only wing, and with 330 suites and villas it's busy in the South African school holidays.

Best for

• families with children of any age, from babies to teenagers
• couples and honeymooners (Beachfront Suites with their own pool)
• two families or grandparents travelling together (Pool Villas)
• golfers (Mont Choisy Le Golf close by, green fees included on the all-inclusive)
• five-star and all-inclusive in one place

Which room to book

• Couples: a Junior Suite, upstairs in a crescent (90 of them, 63 m²). It takes 2 adults and a baby under two only, so it doesn't work for families with older children.
• Honeymooners: a Beachfront Suite with pool: ground floor, facing the lagoon with direct access to the beach, its own pool, a terrace, an outdoor shower and a resort host from 08:00 to 15:00. There are 42, and they go first in peak season. It also takes 2 adults + 1 child, plus a baby.
• Family of four, or more space for two: a Beachfront Senior Suite with pool, upstairs, with stairs down to the beach, a lounge separate from the bedroom, a large terrace with its own pool and a resort host: 2 adults + 2 children, plus a baby. At 163 m² it's the largest one-bedroom suite, and there are only 21.
• Family with one child: a Tropical Junior Suite Plus, ground floor, with an outdoor shower: 2 adults + 1 child, plus a baby (41 of them). The plain Tropical Junior Suite (69, ground floor or mezzanine) takes 2 adults and a baby under two only, so book the Plus if your child is over two.
• Family of five: a Two-Bedroom Family Suite, two separate rooms, each with its own bathroom: 2 adults + 3 children (40, ground or first floor, garden views). On the beach, the Two-Bedroom Beachfront Family Suite with Pools joins two Beachfront Suites, each with its own pool, for 2 adults + 3 children, plus a baby (21, ground floor, with the resort host).
• Two families, or grandparents along: a Pool Villa, two-bedroom (4 adults + 1 child, plus a baby; 10 of them) or three-bedroom (4 adults + 3 children, plus a baby; 17 of them, one bedroom furnished for children). Each has a private infinity-edge pool, a full kitchen, an outdoor barbecue and dining area and an outdoor soaking bath. A villa host and housekeeping are there from 08:00 to 14:00, breakfast can be served in the villa, soft drinks and water are included, a chef can be arranged at extra cost, and early check-in and late check-out are free. Cots, high chairs, a baby monitor and a pool fence for children are supplied.
• Every suite bathroom has a bath, a shower and a separate toilet. All suites except the Junior Suites, and some upstairs Family Suites, have an outdoor shower.

Children

• Kids Club: for 3- to 11-year-olds, free, with its own restaurant, garden and pool, open daily from 09:00 to 23:00, with a break for showers and cleaning, usually from 16:30 to 18:00. The team takes the children to lunch at 12:30 and dinner at 19:00, in the main restaurant or at the club itself when numbers allow (dinner there from 15 children). Coached sessions include waterskiing and the cockpit tube from age 8, tennis, and a group putting lesson; there's also mini golf, a PlayStation and an open-air cinema.
• Babysitting: €12 an hour per child (about R220), with a 2-hour minimum a day, from 18:00. Book it at the Kids Club, 24 hours ahead.
• Babies and toddlers: free babysitting at the Kids Club's baby corner on weekday afternoons from 13:00 to 16:00 for babies aged one to two, booked 24 hours ahead. Baby care amenities and baby food are on request, and cots and baby baths are supplied for the suite.
• Teens: a free Teens Programme for 12- to 17-year-olds, with activities such as snorkelling and tennis tournaments; Beachcomber's 2026-27 kids sheet names Trou aux Biches as one of three resorts with a facility just for teenagers. Teenagers also get the free water sports, including waterskiing and wakeboarding.
• Health: the hotel has an infirmary and a doctor on call, and Beachcomber puts the nearest clinic or hospital about 10 minutes' drive away.
• What children cost:
  • All-inclusive: free for children aged 11 and under when their parents take it, for stays from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2027. From 12 it's charged, and everyone sharing a room must be on the same meal plan.
  • Room and meals: Beachcomber's 2026 brochure says under-12s sharing their parents' room stay and eat free all year on its family rate. Its 2026-27 fact sheets don't repeat that, so we confirm the children's rate for your dates and room in your quote.
  • Teenagers (12-17): Beachcomber's 2026-27 terms have no general free stay for teens. Some time-limited specials let one child under 18 pay only for flights and transfers; we'll tell you if one fits your dates.

Meal plans

Half board (breakfast and dinner) is standard. The Asian fusion and Indian restaurants serve a set discovery menu on half board, and the other à la carte restaurants a daily set menu, with the full à la carte menu at a supplement. The all-inclusive is a top-up you can take in any suite or villa:

• Trou aux Biches All-Inclusive:

  • lunch at L'Oasis, La Plage or La Caravelle, and dinner at any of the six restaurants (the same dinner menus as half board);
  • selected drinks in the restaurants and bars, by the pool and on the beach, including imported wines, local and imported spirits and sparkling wine by the glass, until 23:00;
  • a bar snack menu from 11:00 to 17:00, afternoon pancakes, drinks served on the beach from 10:00 to 17:30, a daily picnic basket and a minibar of local beer, soft drinks, water and snacks;
  • a daily green fee, golf cart and transfers to Mont Choisy Le Golf (balls and accessories extra);
  • on stays of seven nights or more, each guest aged 12 and over chooses one experience: a 45-minute head or foot massage, a scuba introduction in the pool, a golf session at Mont Choisy, a wine tasting or a photo shoot.

  It leaves out room service, spa treatments, diving, excursions, premium wines and champagne, and drinks after 23:00. Children aged 11 and under get it free for stays from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2027; from 12 it's charged. Everyone sharing a room has to be on the same meal plan.

Golfers on half board pay Beachcomber's 2026-27 guest rate at Mont Choisy Le Golf, where a shared cart is compulsory: Rs 3,510 (about R1,230) a round, Rs 2,160 (about R760) for under-18s playing with an adult, and Rs 2,700 (about R950) from 1 May to 30 September 2027. The transfer is extra. For unlimited golf, Mont Choisy's package with a shared cart costs Rs 26,460 (about R9,270) per person, or Rs 20,520 (about R7,190) from 1 May to 30 September 2027; tee times cancelled less than 24 hours ahead cost a Rs 1,620 no-show fee. If you'll play most days, compare that with the all-inclusive, which covers a daily green fee, cart and transfers.

All-inclusive guests can also eat and drink on the package, at no extra charge, at Paradis, Dinarobin and the four-star Beachcomber resorts, on each resort's own package. We quote half board and all-inclusive side by side, so you can see the difference in rand before you choose.

Restaurants

• L'Oasis: the main buffet restaurant, overlooking the pool and the sea; breakfast, lunch and dinner, with pancakes and ice cream in the afternoon.
• La Caravelle: bistronomy, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
• La Plage: Mediterranean, the beach restaurant; lunch and dinner.
• Blue Ginger: Asian fusion, dinner.
• Mahiya: Indian, dinner.
• Il Corallo: Italian, dinner.

The à la carte restaurants open on set nights of the week and need a booking, so visit the reservations desk soon after you arrive. You can also dine at the other Beachcomber resorts, on reservation, with a supplement at Royal Palm. Evenings are smart casual from age 12, and men wear closed shoes at dinner everywhere except La Plage.

Honest downsides

• No adults-only wing. Families are everywhere in the school holidays. Couples who want a child-free five-star should look at Dinarobin's adults-only Zen Suites.
• Two suite types take no child over two. The Junior Suite and the plain Tropical Junior Suite are for 2 adults and a baby only. Families need the Tropical Junior Suite Plus or bigger, and the family categories book out first.
• Big and popular. 330 suites and villas, and a long-time favourite with South African families, so it's lively in June/July and December. Book early.
• Golf costs extra on half board. Green fees, the cart and the transfer to Mont Choisy are charged unless you take the all-inclusive: Rs 3,510 (about R1,230) a round with the cart, plus the transfer.
• A 70-minute transfer. Normal for the north and west coasts; Shandrani is 10 minutes from the airport if that matters more.
