Discover Mauritius: Belle Mare, The Westin Turtle Bay and The Oberoi

Set along one of the island’s most peaceful beaches, Belle Mare offers a soft introduction to Mauritius. The shoreline here is wide and palm-lined, with calm, clear water and a sense of space that encourages rest from the moment you arrive.

Your days are intentionally light. Mornings might begin with a swim in the lagoon or a walk along the sand, followed by unstructured time by the pool or at the spa. The surrounding area remains quiet and local, with little to distract from the rhythm of the coast.

This is time to slow down, adjust to the island, and settle into its natural pace.

Set amdist expansive tropical gardens beside Turtle Bay Marine Park, this stay brings a more intimate and reflective tone. The atmosphere here is quieter, shaped by space, privacy and attentive service rather than scale.

Days unfold gently here. You might spend time snorkelling over the reef, walking the grounds, or exploring the site’s preserved colonial-era structures, which quietly reference the island’s past. Evenings are calm and unhurried, often centred around simple rituals: dining by the water, a drink overlooking the bay, or time spent in the gardens as the light fades.
