Inspired by the surrounding tropical gardens, sugarcane fields, and mountains, the 190 guestrooms, including 38 suites, will embrace the natural beauty of the resort’s scenery. The Westin Turtle Bay Resort & Spa, Mauritius will also offer five dining venues, including an all-day dining restaurant, two specialty restaurants, a pool restaurant and bar, as well as a lobby lounge. And 340-square-feet of event space will complete the amenities.
