Overview

 
An exclusive five-star hideaway in tropical gardens on Turtle Bay, on the sunny north-west coast of Mauritius. The Oberoi is known for its intimate scale, thatched pavilions and villas – many with their own pool – a serene spa and famously gracious service, making it one of the island’s most romantic places to stay.

Thatched roofs, volcanic stone and lily ponds among the palms, with the calm water of Turtle Bay in front: The Oberoi feels private and unhurried. The Oberoi Beach Resort, Mauritius lies in landscaped gardens running down to Turtle Bay in Balaclava. The bay is a protected marine park with calm water, the coast here is among the sunniest on the island, and Port Louis and Grand Baie are each a short drive away. See more Mauritius holidays.
