The most beautiful beach in the world

On Mauritius is located a beach which is proclaimed as the most beautiful in the world – Trou aux Biches. Three kilometers of white sand that alternates with turquoise blue sky and ocean, as well as green coconut trees that provide shade are great reasons why this place creates unforgettable memories and photographs that can not be taken anywhere in the world.

Many who visited Mauritius stayed there. Famous Diane Lane, who has been in our resort, Pierce Brosnan and many other movie stars were thrilled with our island and the natural spectacle of the island. This was told by Assistant Chief Executive Officer Fatima Chuttoo for whom we could say that he is working on earthly heaven, between Grand Baie and the capital of Port Louis, in the luxurious resort of Trou aux Biches Beachcomber Golf Resort & Spa. Her mother is from Mauritius, and her father came from South Africa and settled on this beautifull island. Fatima grew up in a Muslim Catholic family full of love, commemorating the feasts of both religions, and in the family who put special attention to her education.

“The island is completly multicultural and this is beauty of it, but even friends do not discuss about politics and religion. We can talk about anything else and we believe in the uniqueness of our culture. This is the “magic of the island,” explains Fatima, who is passionate about her job, which is one of the many reasons that the guests of a luxury resort feel like they are at home. Indeed, Trou aux Biches can boast with the fidelity of its visitors, some of them visit this place for more then twenty years.

Fellowship with guests

“I know when my day starts, but I never know when it will end. From the moment I wake up, I can hardly wait to start the meetings, arranging the schedule, and welcoming the guests at breakfast. I greet them there and check out about their night. On the begging of the day my main source of energy is that morning meeting.

Then I go to the office, do the remaining obligations, and for lunch I visit my guests again to check how they are. Between meetings and training seminars I am involved in organizing groups and other jobs. In full capacity, we have about 900 guests at rooms and villas. Our hotel is the largest in the our group on this island.

“Many are wondering why I’m working so late, but my answer is ismple “I do not work, but enjoy having fun with our guests.” The best way to look at it is to visit us. We welcome all the guests from Croatia and look forward to your arrival on our beautiful island, “says Fatima, whose warmth can not be described in words.

Love – in front of everithing

The care for guests who stays in one of the most beautiful resorts in the world is widely known, as one can see numerous comments that guests leave on the Internet.

I’ve always worked in tourism, and I started in Trou aux Biches, led by my passion for work. I got other offers, but I believe in the success of this hotel. I love it, just like our guests returning for the hospitality we provide them. I try to know my guests by name, I am honest and happy and my smile comes from the depths of my heart.

“The warmth of the hotel’s staff, their kindness and accessibility delight anyone who is in the Trou aux Biches in search for a relaxed vacation. Fortunately, distant destinations become more and more accessible thanks to airline companies, as in our case Turkish airlines.” adds Fatima. In the past, Mauritius was not as well known as today.

Family vacations

As she says, today many guests come from Europe and know exactly what they want and expect a lot from that experince. They come prepared, and they know which places they want to visit, in which restaurants they want to taste the island cuisine and what attractions are worth of their attention. There are often parents with children as well, as they offer free childcare facilities that work from morning till dark. For children younger than three years, reliable nannies are taken care of.
