Outrigger Mauritius Beach Resort

Our verdict

Outrigger is the resort we suggest to families who want one room for five, a choice of meal plans, and the quiet, green south coast. It's at Bel Ombre, beside the nature reserve, about 45 minutes from the airport, in low plantation-style buildings of up to three floors directly on the beach. Its Beachfront Family Rooms (74 m²) give the children their own room with bunk beds and sleep five, which few resorts offer in a single room. There's the Coral Kids Club for 3 to 12, whose team also watches children at dinner time, four pools including an adults-only pool and a children's pool, and half board, full board or all-inclusive. The trade-offs: the south coast is breezier and cooler than the west in winter, there's no Teens Club, motorised water sports and excursions are run by outside operators, and there are no lifts. Against its neighbour Heritage Awali: choose Outrigger for a family room that sleeps five and the choice of half board. Choose Awali for a free baby club, a Kids Club open until 23:00 and an all-inclusive with branded drinks.

Best for

• families of five in one room (Beachfront Family Rooms with a separate children's room)
• a short transfer for a south-coast resort: about 45 minutes
• a choice of half board, full board or all-inclusive
• couples who want an adults-only pool and the Voyager 47 club lounge
• exploring the south: Bel Ombre's nature reserve, Chamarel and Le Morne

At a glance

Which room to book

• Couples: an Ocean View Room (63 m², king or twin beds) or, on the ground floor with the beach outside the door, a Beachfront Room (63 m²). For more service, a Club Beachfront room or Club Beachfront Junior Suite, which include the Voyager 47 club lounge with its breakfast and private pool.
• Couple with one child: Ocean View and Beachfront rooms sleep up to three.
• Family of four or five: a Beachfront Family Room (74 m², king bed plus a separate children's room with bunk beds), sleeping up to five, steps from the beach. There's also an Ocean View Family Room with a sea view from higher up.
• Stairs: buildings are up to three floors with no lifts. Ask for the ground floor if that matters.

Children

• Coral Kids Club: for children aged 3 to 12, with a full programme run by trained hosts: arts and crafts with a local flavour (henna, sega dancing), team games, badminton and sandcastle building.
• At dinner: the club team watches children at dinner time, so parents can eat on their own.
• Pools: a children's pool; the 2018 fact sheet describes it with a water slide.
• Family rooms: the Beachfront Family Rooms give children their own room with bunk beds.
• Childcare: on request, at extra cost.
• Teens: no Teens Club. Teenagers have the free water sports, tennis and beach volleyball, and kitesurfing lessons at extra cost.

Meal plans

Outrigger sells half board, full board and all-inclusive, so you can pick what suits you.

The official site doesn't list what each plan covers: which restaurants are included, the drinks and brands on the all-inclusive, or the hours. We confirm the current details with the resort before we quote, and set them out in writing.

What we can say:

• Breakfast and dinner are at Mercado, the market-style restaurant with live cooking stations, and Edgewater serves Mauritian and Eurasian dishes at dinner.
• Free on every plan: glass-bottom boat trips, snorkelling, kayaks, pedal boats, stand-up paddle, tennis, beach volleyball, table tennis and bocce.
• Paid on every plan: sailing lessons, kitesurfing, deep-sea fishing, catamaran trips, speed-boat and dolphin tours, scuba diving, and quad and bike tours in the nature reserve, all run by outside operators.

What we'd do: for a family, all-inclusive is usually the easier choice, because lunches and children's drinks add up. Couples who'll explore the south can save with half board. We quote the plans side by side.

Restaurants

Restaurants:

• Mercado Market Dining: the main restaurant, a food market of live cooking stations with European, Mediterranean, Asian and Indian food. Breakfast 07:00 to 10:30, lunch 12:30 to 15:00, dinner 18:30 to 22:00.
• Edgewater: beside the beachfront pool, with all-day dishes, vegan choices and ice cream by day (12:00 to 16:00), and Mauritian and Eurasian dishes at dinner (18:30 to 22:00, book ahead).
• Le Bleu: the beach bar, with cocktails, pizzas, paninis, burgers and salads from 12:00 to 17:30, crêpes and Mauritian snacks in the afternoon, and entertainment at night.
• Rouben's Wine Room: a wine cellar beside Mercado, for tapas and private dinners, by reservation.
• Voyager 47 Club: the club lounge, with breakfast and a private pool for club and suite guests by day; open to everyone in the evening for Mauritian fusion food.

Bars: Le Bleu on the beach, and the Rum Room, for tastings of Mauritian rum with local pairings from the chef. In-room dining is available.

Honest downsides

• The south coast in winter. Bel Ombre faces the open ocean and the south-east trade winds, so from about June to September it's breezier and cooler than the west. That suits kitesurfers (the resort runs lessons) more than calm swimming.
• The meal plans aren't published in detail. We confirm what half board, full board and all-inclusive cover before you book.
• No Teens Club.
• Outside operators. Motorised water sports and excursions are run by third parties, so availability varies.
• No lifts in buildings of up to three floors.
• A long way from the north. Grand Baie and the north-west beaches are at the far end of the island.
