Premier Private Pool Double Villa with ocean view
Sleeps 2
- Private bathroom
Mauritius · Turtle Bay, Balaclava, north-west
Set in twenty acres of tropical garden on a marine conservation bay, with the low-key, precise service Oberoi is known for.
Understated, garden-set, service-led
The property
The Oberoi takes the opposite approach to the big beach resorts: pavilions and villas scattered through mature gardens, thatch and local stone, and a deliberately quiet register. Turtle Bay is a protected marine area, so the swimming and snorkelling are calm and the water clear. Villas come with private walled gardens, and the larger ones with pools. It is the pick for people who want service depth without spectacle.
Where you sleep
Luxury pavilions and villas with walled gardens; villas with private pools. Which one is right depends on the month and who is travelling — that is the first thing we will ask.

What makes it itself
Treatments on the property — massage, steam room, beauty services, so a bad-weather afternoon has somewhere to go.
Run from the resort, which matters here: the boat leaves from your own jetty rather than an hour up the coast.
Supervised hours for the children, which is the difference between a holiday and a fortnight of childcare with a view.
