The beach itself
Beachfront Turtle Bay setting supports snorkeling and lagoon activities, but guest sources note sea-swimming conditions can be less classic sandy-beach than expected.

Who fits where at The Westin Turtle Bay Resort & Spa, Mauritius
All 2 categories, from the resort's own accommodations pages. The figures are the comparison: how many the room takes, against the most this property puts in any one key. Where a category carries no figures, the resort does not publish an occupancy for it, which at villa tier usually means it is set when you book.
| Suite | Occupancy | Size | Aspect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ocean Grand Deluxe | Sleeps 2 | 818 ft²76 m² | Ocean view |
| Banyan Suite | Sleeps 3 | 1,722 ft²160 m² | Not published |
Occupancy is the maximum published occupancy including rollaways, not comfortable occupancy. Categories and occupancy change with renovations, and connecting rooms are usually request-only, so confirm when you book.

Before you book
Nine things the research turned up about The Westin Turtle Bay Resort & Spa, Mauritius that the brochure does not say.
The Westin Turtle Bay is a 5-star Mauritius resort with optional all-inclusive room rates rather than a default all-inclusive model.
It is strongest for wellness-minded couples and families who want large rooms, a kids club, spa, pools and a quieter Turtle Bay setting.
The beach is beautiful but not the strongest pure swimming beach in Mauritius, so align expectations if beach entry is the deciding factor.
Hidden tips
Book Beachfront Deluxe or a junior suite if the room and view matter.
Confirm all-inclusive restaurant, drink and room-service restrictions directly before booking.
Arrange airport transfers independently because the official page lists no shuttle service.
Things guests wish they had known
All-inclusive is available only on specific rates, not the default product.
The beach is scenic and snorkel-friendly, but travelers seeking a broad classic swim beach may be disappointed.
The official page states no airport shuttle; plan transfers separately.

The rate, and where to check it
Our tracker samples real rates for a two-adult, 7-night stay on a rotating schedule, so the number below is a checked price with a date on it, not a teaser. The channels underneath price the same stay; a few minutes across them is routinely worth a night's rate.
Per-person figures assume two sharing. This resort prices room-only by default; the all-inclusive plan is a paid add-on, so add it when you book.
Or , at the same rate.
Where else to look
- Resort website (opens in a new tab)
- Booking.com (opens in a new tab)
- Expedia (opens in a new tab)
- Tripadvisor reviews (opens in a new tab)
Same stay on every channel. Book wherever it comes out cheapest, whether or not we earn on it. Some of these are affiliate links, at no extra cost to you.
Have us book it for you
Not a cheaper rate. We are not going to undercut the big engines and we are not going to pretend to. What you get is the booking placed by someone who has read this resort properly: the room category worth paying for, what the plan does and does not cover on your dates, and the agency rates that never reach the public page.
This is booking help by email, not a concierge service. Once your reservation is confirmed the resort looks after your stay, the way it would if you had booked yourself.
Bookings are placed through an ARC and IATA accredited host agency. The resort pays the commission out of a rate it has already set, so booking this way costs you nothing extra and does not get you a worse rate.
We check this rate on a rotating schedule. Leave an email and we'll flag a real drop, not a countdown timer.
