At a glance
The Westin Turtle Bay Resort is the most wellness-focused resort on Mauritius’s northwest coast.
On the shores of Turtle Bay Marine Park in the historic Balaclava area, the resort spans ten hectares of tropical gardens with direct access to the protected waters of the bay and some of the best snorkelling on the island. The 190 rooms and suites are built around Westin’s six global wellness pillars, giving the property a clarity of purpose that most resort hotels lack.
Five dining venues, a Heavenly Spa, two pools including an adults-only infinity pool, and a full watersports program cover every mood and moment of the day. The Retreat Bar holds Mauritius’s largest selection of local and international rum brands, which on this island, is a detail worth knowing before you arrive.
For those who want a resort that takes wellness seriously without sacrificing the pleasures of a genuinely well-run beach hotel, Turtle Bay makes a strong case.

Further information
Dining
Five distinct venues cover every mood and moment of the day. Seasonal Tastes handles breakfast and themed dinners, while Kangan delivers modern Indian cooking and Fusion covers Japanese-inspired cuisine with live teppanyaki. The Beach Grill serves casual lunches and BBQ dinners directly on the waterfront, and Mystique runs Pan Asian dishes by day and crafted cocktails by evening. The Retreat Bar holds Mauritius’s largest selection of local and international rum.
Wellness
The Heavenly Spa by Westin offers a full menu of massages, body wraps and targeted treatments, with a private garden for relaxation before and after each session. The fitness centre runs 24 hours and is equipped with the latest Westin Workout kit. Two pools, including the adults-only Whisper Zone infinity pool, complete a wellness offering that runs through every aspect of the resort rather than being confined to a single building.
Activities
The protected waters of Turtle Bay Marine Park sit directly in front of the resort, making snorkelling, glass-bottom boat trips, sailing and scuba diving as straightforward as walking to the beach. Catamaran cruises, pedal boats and a full watersports programme give the days as much or as little structure as required. The Westin Kids Club covers ages four to twelve for families who need it.

Our Experts
Mauritius always feels like next-level luxury, a cut above the rest. It's quieter than some of the other island destinations so has a heightened sense of secluded relaxation.
I've only ever heard wonderful things from clients who have been fortunate enough to visit Mauritius. There are so many fantastic resorts, plus it's the land of the Dodo.
Stellar service. Stellar products. Stellar people and it gets so much better when you pick up the phone and call.

Suggested tours
Seychelles & Mauritius: Two Pearls of the Indian Ocean
Tailor-made VacationAsk most travelers to choose between the Seychelles and Mauritius, and they will hesitate. This itinerary is built to explore the best parts of both. The Seychelles and Mauritius are frequently held up against each other in comparisons of the Indian Ocean's finest destinations, yet surprisingly few itineraries actually combine them.
11 days tailor-made from $13,450 per person View trip
Mauritius Island Escape
Tailor-made VacationThis itinerary is built entirely around one island, with time to escape, explore, and immerse yourself in life on Mauritius. Where several of our Mauritius itineraries pair the island with a South African safari, this one stays put, giving guests nine full days to explore a single destination properly rather than fitting it around a longer, more demanding journey.
9 days tailor-made from $9,850 per person View trip
Mauritius Wellness & Spa Retreat
Tailor-made VacationSome travelers come to Mauritius to see the island. This retreat is for those who come to feel it, one slow, salt-scented day at a time. This itinerary is designed for travelers who want Mauritius stripped back to its most restorative elements: warm water, quiet mornings, and treatments that leave more time unaccounted for than planned.
