Luxury hotel holiday The Oberoi Mauritius

The Oberoi, Mauritius offers stylish exclusivity with local flavour as well as the well-established Oberoi traditions. Situated on the Baie aux Tortues on the north-west coast of the island, The Oberoi, Mauritius has been conceived as an exclusive resort essentially Mauritian in style with elaborate use of local stone, thatch and wood but with additional striking oriental features and sculptures. Nestling up against 600 metres of seafront, which faces mountain ranges and golden beaches across the turquoise water of the bay, the resort has a mixture of spacious bedrooms facing the sea and luxurious villas, most with their own private pools and walled gardens. The landscaping of the resort is thoroughly dramatic with an eclectic mixture of stone and water blending into subtropical gardens of Indian coral trees, African tulip trees and cream and yellow frangipani trees. There are two swimming pools near the sandy beachfront, a range of water sports plus two tennis courts. A new boat house, adjacent to the main beach, hosts a fully equipped and certified PADI dive centre. With the emphasis on privacy and luxury, the spa offers a range of treatments including aromatherapy massage and body scrubs using natural products based on local Mauritian fruits and plants. The design of the resort has carefully incorporated historic ruins of fortifications dating from the French occupation of the island. In the evenings the resort has an incredibly romantic atmosphere when the architecture is enhanced by the wide-scale use of torches for lighting. Dining is either in the open-air thatched-roof restaurant which offers refined French cuisine, accompanied by a fine wine list or in The Restaurant. Room service is available if you want the privacy of dining privately in your villa. The bedrooms are furnished with high-quality understated natural fabrics and materials, relaxing and contemporary in effect. Woodcarvings, local black-and-white framed photos and luxurious toiletries add to your sense of comfort, as does the sunken marble bath which looks onto a private walled garden of tropical flora. One of the most prestigious hotels in Mauritius, The Oberoi, Mauritius comes highly recommended and is perfect for honeymooners and those in search of luxurious privacy.
