About The Oberoi Beach Resort, Mauritius
- The resort grounds contain 18th-century French military ruins — a battery that formed part of Mauritius's northern coastal defence during the French colonial period — restored in situ and classified as Mauritian national monuments.
- The design team was an unusual cross-continental pairing: Thai architect Lek Bunnag shaped the thatched-roof pavilion architecture, while American landscape architect Bill Bensley (known for JW Marriott Phu Quoc) created the 20-acre tropical garden layout.
- Turtle Bay, where the resort sits, is a naturally protected marine park in its own right, separate from Blue Bay — guests can snorkel directly from the beach to a live coral reef without boat transfer.
History
