HONEYMOON PROVIDER OF THE YEAR 2015

fter all the excitement of the build-up to your wedding, all you want to do is relax and enjoy each other’s company, lazing on the beach, enjoying moonlight walks, savouring delicious meals and making plans for your future together. Lasting memories are made on your honeymoon. Beachcomber Tours ensures they always stay special.
Based in the historic, beautiful county town of Guildford in the heart of Surrey, southern England, Beachcomber Tours specialises in luxury holidays to Mauritius and the Seychelles, including unforgettable honeymoons to these dream getaway islands that stay etched in memory not just for the occasion but also the trip, says Mark Boullé, Marketing Manager of Beachcomber Tours UK. “From the initial enquiry here in the UK right through to the flight home, we can make sure that honeymooners get the rooms they want, the facilities they want, and ultimately a tailor-made honeymoon that they are dreaming of.”
Beachcomber is a specialist company with a huge amount of experience and expertise in Mauritius, the Seychelles, Morocco, Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
Mark attributes this possibility to Beachcomber being one of the very few luxury specialist operators that owns 10 of their own hotels. “Having our own hotels in Mauritius, Seychelles and Marrakech means, especially in the case of Mauritius, we know the destinations better than anybody else. And because we own the hotels we can personally handle every detail of the honeymoon.” Mark is appreciative of the fact that Beachcomber is able to operate in some of the world’s most exotic places, which he believes are ‘picture-perfect’ for a couple seeking their dream honeymoon destination. “We are fortunate that we operate in such fantastic destinations. Mauritius and the Seychelles were made for honeymooners and for those looking for a shorter, closer to home option our hotel in Marrakech, Royal Palm, offers the mystique of over 1,000 years of history with a chic modern side to explore and enjoy.” Beachcomber tailor-makes all of its honeymoons to fit around a couple’s requirements. “If it is a relaxed luxury hotel with nothing more strenuous than a walk from suite 1 | WEDDINGS & SERVICES
to beach then we have some of the best options available. If it is something a little more active, then we have a hotel that fits the bill. For example, Paradis Hotel & Golf Club offers the best range of leisure activities on Mauritius, many of which are free.” “If you are after the best that Mauritius has to offer then Royal Palm simply can’t be beaten in terms of beach, accommodation, fine dining and service. It is quite simply the best address on the island. Whatever you are looking for– be it swimming with dolphins, a candlelit beach dinner, a couple massage or private guided tour of the Medina in Marrakech, we really can make it all happen. If you can dream it, we can probably arrange it,” he adds. Having pioneered the hotel industry in Mauritius, Beachcomber Hotels has had the ‘first pick’ of the prime locations and best of the beaches for its hotels on the island. “All of our hotels are designed to make the most of their magnificent, enviable positions and they all include a host of extra touches and thoughtful details to enhance guest stays.”
“Our staff will take the time to find out exactly what you are looking for and are honest enough to suggest alternatives if your first choice might not quite fit the honeymoon you have described. A honeymoon booking service from start to finish is what Beachcomber offers.” As a result of its exemplary service and continuously customer-focused approach, Beachcomber has been conferred with The Honeymoon Provider of the Year 2015 award by Weddings & Services magazine. The publication’s panel of selectors were most impressed with the company. In a statement, they said: “There were a number of reasons that impressed the panel such as the fact that the firm offers the most-sought after locations, the appreciation it has as an organisation for luxury travel and the ease of its use website alongside outstanding value for money.” The judges added that aside from the aforementioned features the award was also being presented to Beachcomber Tours in the knowledge that that the magazine was recommending a well-established, professional, and trustworthy organisation. Reacting to the win, Mark said: “The staff, both here in the UK and those in the hotels, very much appreciates the award. It is not often that all the hard-work that goes into making sure a dream honeymoon runs just the way it should gets the recognition it deserves. It therefore makes it even more rewarding when the acclaim does come our way.” “Indeed, Honeymoon Provider of the Year 2015 has a nice ring to it and we are going to have to keep on our toes so we remain in the running for the 2016 award as well.”
For honeymooners looking to stay with Beachcomber in its Mauritius or Seychelles hotels, there is a special 30 per cent saving in accommodation costs for the 2015-2016 season and for all guests who book on a halfboard basis couples can expect to enjoy complimentary light lunches for the duration of their stay. On arrival, honeymooners will also receive a number of gifts from the hotel management team. “One of the great things about booking a honeymoon with Beachcomber is that when
