About this hotel
General information
The Westin Turtle Bay Resort & Spa sits on the shore of Turtle Bay on the north-west coast of Mauritius, inside a natural marine park with a living coral reef. It is an all-suite resort: 190 suites, each with its own balcony or terrace, many of them looking out over the bay.
Everything here follows the Westin approach to wellbeing — restful sleep in the brand's Heavenly beds, balanced food, movement and time together as a family. Half of the menus are plant-based, and a herb and vegetable garden at the far end of the grounds lets guests pick produce and put together a salad with the chef. The resort holds Green Key certification, and the mood on the beach and around the pools is quiet and unhurried.
Location
The resort lies on Turtle Bay near the village of Balaclava, on the north-west coast of Mauritius, about 57.5 km from Mauritius International Airport. There is no hotel shuttle; taxis are booked through guest services, which can also arrange outings to the cafés and shops of Grand Baie and to the Pamplemousses Botanical Garden.
Spa
Heavenly Spa by Westin offers massages, facials, body wraps and body rituals, with a private garden for resting before and after treatments. There is also a beauty salon; appointments are made at the spa reception, and walk-ins are welcome.
