Shandrani Beachcomber celebrates 35 years

Shandrani Surprise, the signature cocktail

First served when the hotel opened in 1991, the Shandrani Surprise makes its grand return to the menu for the hotel’s 35th anniversary.

The Shandrani Surprise is a brightly coloured tropical cocktail. It blends the smoothness of white rum with the fruity freshness of pineapple juice. Blue curaçao brings a subtle citrus note and a vivid azure hue reminiscent of the lagoon, while orgeat syrup adds a delicate almond aroma that rounds off the drink beautifully.

Indulgent, refreshing and exotic all at once, this cocktail instantly evokes the sun-drenched beaches of Shandrani Beachcomber. It will be available across the hotel’s bars and restaurants.

Chef Coopen’s delicious crab burger…

Throughout August, the signature dish of Chef Coopen, Executive Chef at Shandrani Beachcomber, will be served in the hotel’s restaurants, except for Le Grand Port.

This signature creation has become part of his culinary reputation: a crab burger celebrating the flavours and influences of Mauritius. Inspired by the treasures of the lagoon, the recipe combines crisp crab with creamy avocado and a pickled papaya condiment that reimagines Mauritian achard (pickle), along with crispy onions.

Enhanced by a shellfish and tamarind sauce that brings depth and balance, this creation reflects Chef Coopen’s creativity and his love for his island. A true meeting of sea, land and global influences, this burger has become one of his signature dishes over the years. It is therefore a fitting tribute to the hotel during its anniversary month.

Rythm escape at the Beachcomber spa

The name Shandrani is said to mean “Queen of the Moon”. Drawing on this poetic imagery, the hotel’s Beachcomber spa will celebrate the anniversary with a collection of treatments entitled “Moon & Ocean Wellness Journeys” — a graceful nod to the spirit of the place.

A collection designed to help guests reconnect with themselves

Through a series of treatment-room rituals and outdoor experiences, this limited edition collection draws on the natural cycles of the Moon, the ocean and Shandrani Beachcomber’s landscapes to offer a holistic approach to wellbeing that encourages guests to reconnect with themselves. This anniversary collection invites each guest to slow down, observe, feel and rediscover their own inner rhythm

The highlight of this anniversary offering, the Moon & Ocean Journey package brings together treatments, meditation, moon-inspired delicacies and a scented keepsake in an experience that celebrates self-connection, inner harmony and the exceptional natural setting of Shandrani Beachcomber.
