It is set in approximately eight hectares of resplendent sub-tropical gardens, lining the white-sand shores of TurtleBay. The airport, in the south of the island, is about an hour away.
ACCOMMODATION & FACILITIES AT THE OBEROI:
The grounds of The Oberoi are not only aesthetically pleasing but of historical interest too, as the site is home to four national monuments dating back to French colonial times. These formed part of the defence system of Mauritius and today the main gunpowder store is one of The Oberoi’s three restaurants. Other eateries The Restaurant and On the Rocks are positioned overlooking the Indian Ocean, as is The Bar. The resort also boasts a spa, fitness centre, tennis courts and two swimming pools. There is a meeting room as well as a board room, plus kids’ club The Hub.
Guest accommodation at The Oberoi consists of four options – Luxury Pavilion, Luxury Villa with Garden, Luxury Villa with Private Pool and Royal Villa with Private Pool.
