Rooms & Villas

The Oberoi Beach Resort, Mauritius offers thatched villas with 70 to 225 square meters of interior space. Each villa includes a king-size bedroom, a living area with natural cane and bamboo furniture, and a bathroom with a sunken marble bathtub. Some villas feature private gardens, heated pools, or ocean views. The Presidential and Royal Villas have additional space, private dining pavilions, and direct beach access.

Dining Options

The Restaurant serves European, Asian, and Mauritian dishes like steamed snapper baked in clay and lamb shank slow-cooked in vanilla rum. On the Rocks offers fresh seafood, salads, and pizzas by the beach. The Herb Trail features an underground fire pit for smoked meats and seafood. La Poudrière, a restored 18th-century building, hosts Creole dinners on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Leisure & Activities

The resort has two outdoor pools, including an adults-only infinity pool with carved pillars. The Oberoi Spa offers African-inspired and Indian massage therapies in open-air treatment rooms. A PADI-certified dive center provides courses and excursions. Activities include tennis, yoga, snorkeling, and guided nature walks. The kids' club offers watersports, cooking lessons, and star-gazing sessions.

Location & Access

The resort is on Turtle Bay, 20 km from Port Louis and 65 km from Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport. Nearby attractions include the Black River Gorges National Park, Chamarel's Seven-Colored Earth, and Grand Bassin, a Hindu pilgrimage site. Airport transfers are available by standard car or BMW (additional cost).

Guest Services

Private butlers prepare baths and assist with requests. The concierge arranges excursions, private dinners, and weddings on the beach. Business services include a meeting room with an oak table for eight. Children under 8 stay free, and babysitting is available. Complimentary activities include morning yoga, rum tastings, and henna tattooing.

“In my opinion, this resort stands out with its commitment to thatched, natural aesthetics, avoiding concrete structures for a more immersive tropical feel. The emphasis on well-maintained gardens and diverse dining, moving away from buffet-style service, points to a refined vacation experience. I think its dedication to personalized service and creating unique culinary memories elevates it beyond typical luxury stays.”

Really good Service and Beautiful Surroundings

attentive staff fine dining warm welcome true vacation
All staff members are attentive and friendly. The cuisine features fine dining, and it offers diverse dishes for different dietary needs. I found it easy to destress and enjoy the sunsets (a true vacation!). I deeply appreciated the warm welcome.
I noticed the layout felt a bit uncomfortable. The atmosphere was dull.
Rooms
9/10
My villa had comfortable beds and excellent bathroom facilities. I also appreciated the cute and thoughtful decorations that housekeeping left every evening. The air conditioning worked efficiently and kept the room at a comfortable temperature.
Location
10/10
The hotel provides easy access to a boat club with beach access. Guests have opportunities to see dolphins and snorkel on private boat trips. I would also recommend a helicopter ride (a must) to see the underwater waterfall.
