The Oberoi, Mauritius

An Exceptional Luxury Experience We stayed at The Oberoi Mauritius in July as a family with our two teenage sons, and I have been meaning to write this review for quite some time. Even months later, our stay remains one of those experiences that stays with you. The Oberoi is an exceptional resort. From the moment we arrived, there was an unmistakable sense of understated luxury — beautiful surroundings, absolute privacy, impeccable attention to detail and, above all, a level of service that is becoming increasingly rare. Our cottages were beautiful, spacious and wonderfully private, surrounded by lush gardens and overlooking the ocean. One of our two cottages had its own heated private pool, which was an absolute highlight and made the experience even more special. What truly distinguishes The Oberoi, however, is its people. I would like to give a very special mention to Natasha, the Hotel Manager, whose presence and personal attention made us feel genuinely welcomed and cared for throughout our stay. Omar from the bar deserves a special mention as well. He was simply exceptional. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and every request — big or small — was handled with warmth, professionalism and a genuine desire to make our experience perfect. His service was one of the things we will remember most fondly. And Anisha from the Hospitality team was absolutely wonderful — attentive, gracious and incredibly thoughtful. She consistently made sure that everything was taken care of and that we felt completely looked after. This level of genuine hospitality is what makes a luxury resort truly exceptional. It was never just about the beautiful property; it was the feeling that people genuinely cared about our experience. The food was excellent, from the beautiful breakfast with its wonderful variety and quality to the restaurants and the relaxed atmosphere at the bar. Every detail felt carefully considered. Traveling with two teenage boys, we also appreciated how effortlessly the resort worked for our entire family. It offered us the privacy, tranquility and luxury we were looking for, while still giving the boys plenty to enjoy. The Oberoi has that rare combination of elegance without pretension, impeccable service without feeling formal, and luxury that feels personal rather than excessive. Months later, we still talk about our stay and the wonderful people who looked after us. That, to me, is the true measure of a great hotel. A heartfelt thank you to Natasha, Omar, Anisha and the entire Oberoi team for making our stay so memorable. We have stayed at many beautiful luxury resorts, and The Oberoi Mauritius has left a particularly lasting impression on us. We would be delighted to return.

Anticipation is a key component of any great holiday. We are returning to the tranquility of the Oberoi for the third consecutive year, in the safe knowledge that our expectations will be fully met. The food and accommodation are both excellent, the grounds extensive and beautifully maintained and the gym, yoga , water sports all a bonus. But what makes this a great holiday is the care and professionalism shown by all of the staff, from management downwards, who will make your stay exceptional. They have each of them mastered the art of being attentive without being intrusive and they are all prepared to go that extra mile, resulting in the greatest pleasure a good holiday can bring ; that of not having to worry about anything.

This was our first time in Mauritius and The Oberoi Beach Resort made it truly special. My husband and I also celebrated our anniversary there. We could not fault the service. The staff were excellent throughout, the food was amazing, the gardens immaculate and the views beautiful. Excellent gym facilities, friendly and helpful boat house staff, a lovely boutique shop and great spa facilities. A special thank you to Natasha and her team who made my son's birthday so special, full of laughter and joy, and who also made our anniversary so memorable. Many thanks for that. We did have an issue with another company in Mauritius, which was nothing to do with The Oberoi, but the staff took it upon themselves to find out what had happened, advised us and comforted us as a family. The next morning Natasha, the Hotel Manager, came to find us at breakfast herself to check on us. There was a genuine concern for guests which is a rare quality. I would definitely recommend staying at The Oberoi Mauritius.

We spent 12 nights here in an ocean view room at the start of September. Aim was to have complete rest and relaxation while celebrating an upcoming anniversary. This was exactly the place to go. Quiet luxury, delicious food (best we tried on island) and wonderful staff there to make your stay as wonderful as possible. Plenty to do and see on the Island, even when weather became changeable for a day or so. North of Island was the better location. Take advantage of the various activities. Hiring a car to drive south proved very simple. A issue with our room was resolved quickly and well. Other reviews have noted about the beach area, but we didnt find this of particular issue and a short walk further up the beach provides ample sand for discovery.

Great hotel, amazing experience and everything felt so perfect. Me and my husband loved our stay there. We were offered complementary wine, champagne and a birthday cake to celebrate my husband birthday and our room was nicely decorated. The hotel organised a nice sunset cocktail which we enjoyed so much. The food was great and really tasty. A fine dining experience. The room gave a nice seafront view and the heated pool made a huge difference as we were able to really enjoy the pool during winter. Overall it was an amazing stay.
