The Oberoi, Mauritius

The Oberoi Beach Resort, Mauritius sits on the shore of Turtle Bay, a protected marine park on the island’s northwest coast. The resort covers 20 acres of sub-tropical gardens, with a choice of rooms and villas. The coast-facing setting and sunset views are central to the hotel’s description.

Dining is available at several restaurants and bars, while wellness facilities include a spa, swimming pool and fitness centre. The hotel also describes cultural and leisure experiences such as yoga, breathwork, cooking and rum tasting, as well as scuba-diving trips arranged with a PADI centre. The resort may suit travellers who want a quieter garden-and-coast base with dining and activities on site. Turtle Bay is outside the main Grand Baie town centre, so check transport arrangements with the hotel when planning excursions.
