Club Med La Pointe aux Canonniers

Things to know
before you go

  1. This is a family-oriented Club Med with extensive included activities and age-specific kids programming.

  2. The resort has a beach peninsula setting near Grand Baie and an adults-only Zen Zone pool and bar.

  3. Official transfer time from Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam airport is about 1 hour 15 minutes.

  4. Hidden tips

    Use the Zen Zone if adults want a calmer pool experience within a family resort.

  5. This is a strong choice for active travelers because waterskiing, wakeboarding, sailing, paddleboarding, snorkeling, fitness, tennis, and other activities are highlighted by Club Med.

  6. Families should confirm child-club eligibility by age before booking, since the resort has age-specific programming.

  7. Things guests wish they had known

    This is a high-activity family resort rather than a quiet couples-only escape.

  8. The Zen Zone can materially change the experience for adults seeking calmer pool time.

  9. The resort's strongest appeal is the included activity program.

  10. Strengths from our research

    Excellent activity depth for families and active travelers.

  11. Strong review volume and consistently high official/TripAdvisor-derived ratings.

  12. Beachfront peninsula setting with snorkeling and water sports.

  13. Other considerations from our research

    Not adults-only; families and children are central to the resort atmosphere.

  14. Value scores are lower than location, service, and cleanliness scores.

  15. Travelers seeking a quiet boutique resort may find the programming and family energy too active.

Our full take on Club Med La Pointe aux Canonniers

Set in tropical gardens on the tip of Grand Baie, this is Club Med's easygoing Mauritius resort, sailing, water-skiing, and reef snorkeling by day, Mauritian cooking workshops when you want to slow down. Family-friendly and active without being overwhelming. The shoulder months, April through November, are the sweet spot.
