The Personal Touch
This luxury hotel attracts a unique clientele who expect the utmost in quality and service. With a staff ratio of three professional staff members per suite, excellent yet discreet service is guaranteed. Residents of the Royal Suite have a butler to cater for their every whim.
Further personalised service offers guests the choice of dining in-suite for either breakfast or dinner. A tray charge is not levied for room service orders and dinner is served with the requested intervals between courses.
Even on the beach, staff attends to your comfort by positioning your lounger just where you want it, and replacing your beach towel each time you return from a swim.
You can choose to arrive at Royal Palm in the Rolls Royce Phantom or one of the fleet of BMWs. A luxury 4-wheel drive vehicle is also available. But the ultimate is to make the journey from the airport by helicopter and enjoy the magnificent view en-route. Landing is permitted until 3pm each afternoon to protect the peaceful ambience of the hotel.

Bars and Restaurants
Le Bar Plage. Resembling a desert island oasis, the bar is located at the edge of the beach on a wooden deck under the cool shade of a large Badamier tree. Light and classic lunch dishes are served daily. Satisfy your appetite without compromising your view of the beach.
La Goèlette. A romantic terrace restaurant that overlooks the magical indigo hues of the sea, La Goèlette offers a choice of gourmet dishes, prepared with flair by world-class chefs. Half board guests receive a credit each evening towards the courses, which are selected.
Natureaty. This veritable dining Mecca specialises in themed menus, including low-calorie options, tasty sweet and savoury dishes, as well as Mediterranean and Asian dishes. Menus are rotated every three nights and all themed menus are included in the half board package (however supplements may apply for specialty dishes). The idyllic location of this restaurant is what makes it extra special: a rocky promontory directly above the sea.
The Captain’s Table. Small and understated, yet highly exclusive and elegant, this is the ideal place for those intimate, private dinners.
A word on Michel De Matteis – The Royal Palm’s executive chef
Since his arrival in November 2003, French starred-chef, Michel de Matteis, has lent his exceptional savoir-faire to the Royal Palm, leading gastronomic hotel in the Indian Ocean. Awarded the Meilleur ouvrier de France prize in 1991 and winner of the Pierre Taittinger culinary prize (beating 450 competitors), Michel’s career began at the Royal Monceau kitchens in Paris and has gained most of his experience in Parisian restaurants. He worked chez Taillèvent before joining the Saint James Club Hotel and then moving on to La Tour d'Argent as deputy chef. Then it was onto Hôtel du Château de Divonne, and 5 years as chef de cuisine at the Mirabeau Hotel's La Coupole (1 Michelin star), in Monaco. His preference is for subtle flavours and his culinary repertoire can now be enjoyed at the Royal Palm's three restaurants, La Goélette, Natureaty and Le Bar Plage.
