Mauritius
Step into The Westin Turtle Bay Resort & Spa Mauritius, and you’ll notice right away how great it feels to be here. Nestled in a tranquil spot on the historic Balaclava area, the resort is located directly on the beach and faces the idyllic Turtle Bay, a protected Marine Park on the north-west coast of Mauritius.
You could happily spend days lounging by the crystalline turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean on the soft, sandy beach, basking in the sun, sipping refreshing drinks, and getting up only to dip your toes in the lapping waves.The two swimming pools have sun loungers where you are served poolside refreshments and light meals.
For the more energetic, there are countless options, such as scuba diving, glass bottom boat, water-skiing, sailing, pedal boats, snorkelling, tennis and more.
The spa is a luxurious retreat, set in its own private garden. The fitness centre includes cardio machines, as well as steam rooms, saunas and jacuzzis to soothe tired muscles after a work out.
The restaurants, lounges, grills and bars blend contemporary décor with traditional tropical comfort and a vibrant beachfront atmosphere. A rich variety of cuisines including delectable Mauritian fusion and authentic contemporary Indian food are all part of the recipe for unforgettable culinary experiences.
Every one of the 190 hotel rooms and suites have either a private balcony or terrace, many with ocean and beach views.
If you want to explore further afield, the nearly Grand Bay village is home to lively restaurants and bars, sandy beaches and handicraft vendors.
Children also will not be bored, and the Kids Club is open to all younger guests - interactive daily programmes and indoor/outdoor playgrounds will keep the kids amused for hours.
