The Whole Story
Of the top three hotels in Mauritius, The Oberoi is all about the beach with its intimate beach coves. Apart from its setting in 20 lush acres, its dominant feature is its more than half a kilometre of beachfront spanning three crescents of white sand between the warm turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean and the mountains. Located in the less touristy northwest corner of the island along the Baie aux Tortues or Turtle Bay, The Oberoi is a beach resort for people who have no intention of roughing it. The hotel offers a comprehensive selection of spa treatments for those looking to indulge in a bit of R&R. Traditional Mauritian treatments using natural local oils and fruits star alongside conventional therapies, with guests raving in particular about the hotel’s signature paillasson (coconut) massage, an invigorating coconut husk body brush, followed by a deep massage with freshly ground coconut.
There are two restaurants, one serving European, Oriental and Creole dishes, and the other serving light lunch by the pool and fusion cuisine in the evening. The main restaurant features a soaring roof of palm-thatched timbers and offers panoramic views across the Indian Ocean. As all the food is excellent, the main choice you have to make is whether to dine inside among the pillars, or outside under the stars.
