The luxurious and family-friendly Westin Turtle Bay Resort & Spa stretches along a beautiful piece of northwestern Mauritius coast. Its 190 rooms and suites are all generously sized, and come with outdoor space, espresso machines, live-streaming flat-screen TVs, and big peek-a-boo bathrooms with a separate tub and rainfall showers. With half a dozen restaurants and bars, two pools, a spa, 24-hour fitness center, and kids’ club, Westin Turtle Bay is secure in its position as one of the top luxury beach resorts in the area (and this is an area with little_ but_ high-end beach resorts). And this is before we've even mentioned the long beach with food and drink service and free waterskiing, sailing, and other water sports. Travelers looking for comparable luxury could check out InterContinental Mauritius Resort Balaclava Fort, where average rates are lower.

The 210-room InterContinental Mauritius Resort Balaclava Fort is a family-friendly luxury property located right on the beach of Balaclava Bay, on the northwest coast of the island. Tons of features cater to guests of all ages, with two heated infinity pools, land and water sports, an activity-packed kids’ club, and entertainment such as dance performances. Multiple beach areas are lovely and lined with loungers, but the coastline is rocky and not great for swimming. Four excellent restaurants offer buffet and a la carte dining, and an all-inclusive package is available for meals and drinks. Attractive and spacious rooms have swish amenities such as stone bathtubs and separate showers, flat-screen TVs, bathrobes, and furnished balconies or terraces with ocean views. However, some past guests have complained of maintenance issues and unpleasant odors in rooms. Travelers wanting a resort with a better beach should consider LUX* Belle Mare, which has similar offerings.

The two-and-a-half-pearl Cocotiers Seaside Boutik Hotel offers all the trappings of a boutique beachfront hotel with zero pretense. Budget travelers looking for just enough amenities to cement a beachfront vacation will find a soft-sand beach, free water sports, a lovely outdoor pool, and an airy restaurant/bar with free breakfast. But, those seeking anything beyond adult-friendly relaxation will need a car or taxi to venture off-site. All 48 rooms border on austere in terms of decor, but come with mini-fridges, flat-screen TVs, and furnished balconies/terraces (with optional ocean views). While it lacks a beach, Le Palmiste Resort & Spa offers more amenities and a more central location for around the same rates.
