Set in 20 acres of sub-tropical gardens along a sparkling
beachfront with tall, swaying palms, the Oberoi Mauritius’ thatched buildings
and understated elegance stand out thanks to the harmony of architecture and
the surrounding nature.
IN HARMONY WITH NATURE
Exotic bushes, trees, and flowers encompass the hotel villas
and premises—with volcanic boulders dotted around the landscaped gardens. The
buildings blend in, and the architecture of tall, thatched roofs reflects the
island’s African and Asian heritage. So do the ebony sculptures and headboards,
woven from sugarcane leaf, in the guest room.
The Oberoi Beach Resort Mauritius has seventy-one Pavilions
and Villas. The Pavilions are grouped in single-floor clusters, while the
freestanding villas are set within their own walled gardens. Inside, subtle
tones dominate the décor, and the rooms feature enormous four-poster beds,
sunken marble baths, and an uninterrupted view from the lawn to the ocean.
The Royal Villas are the most decadent option: set within
large tropical gardens, they come with private swimming pools and thatched
dining pavilions.
DINING AND SPA
There are two restaurants at Oberoi. One has European,
Oriental, and Creole dishes on the menu, and the other serves light lunch by the
pool and fusion cuisine in the evening. The main restaurant features a soaring
palm-thatched roof and ensures great views of the Indian Ocean.
Spa junkies will find The Spa more than satisfactory. It’s
an exclusive sanctuary with all the state-of-the-art treatments on the menu,
some drawing from local traditions, like the fresh coconut massage.
WHAT WE LOVE
Great location, in the northwest corner of Mauritius—the
leeward side of the Island (the windward side can have very strong wind—and
rain). The hotel is sheltered and has some breathtaking ocean sunsets.
Romantic private villas with pools
Great landscaping, beautiful tropical gardens
The food is simply divine! We loved the mouthwatering
Indo-Creole dishes as well as the simple Mediterranean fare
Fantastic service, very well-trained staff—they surround
guests with genuine attention. Exceptional in every way
Sumptuous spa—we loved the hotel’s signature massage, which
is the revitalizing coconut husk body brush, followed by a deep massage with
freshly ground coconut.
Dinners under the stars, with toes in the sand.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
The best accommodation choices are the villas with pools,
number 205 and 206, but if the price is no object, book one of the two Royal
Villas: villa 412 is more private; 112 is right by the ocean.
There are two swimming pools at Oberoi, one reserved for adults.
The Oberoi Hotel is 55 minutes from the airport and only 15
minutes from the island’s capital, Port-Louis
Northwest coast beaches are less impressive than those on
the island’s east coast.

Babysitting facilities are available at an additional
