Property details

A charming hotel on Mauritius’ dreamy northwest coast, moments from a pristine sandy beach - includes breakfast, dinner, optional all-inclusive, a spa discount, and more
  • Serene setting: Nestled amid swaying palm trees and lush vegetation on the banks of the Tombeau River, Ocean’s Creek Beach Hotel makes for an idyllic Mauritius retreat. Moments from the sandy shores and turquoise waters of Le Goulet Beach, this peaceful bolthole has everything you need for a invigorating escape, from verdant grounds and extensive leisure facilities to laid-back vibes and light-flooded guest rooms with views of the surrounding scenery.

  • Island eats: Le Jardin is the hotel’s airy all-day eatery, serving abundant buffet offerings at breakfast, lunch and dinner. Choose between the inviting indoor dining area and a beautiful outdoor terrace, and come evening opt for rich open-kitchen or à la carte offerings. Elsewhere, The Rum Shed is a must for succulent steaks, grilled favourites and local flavours, while the swim-up Pool Bar and Tam Tam Bar are on-hand for refreshing cocktails between sunbathing sessions.

  • Wellness oasis: Work up a sweat in the state-of-the-art fitness centre, and perhaps cool off with a dip in the tranquil outdoor pool and whirlpool (we won’t judge if you want to go down the slide). After that, get your spa fix at the intimate Shanti Wellness area, complete with a Himalayan salt sauna, a steam room and treatment rooms. And while you kick back, the dedicated kids’ club offers all manner of adventures to keep the little ones smiling.

How to get there

Located in Balaclava on the northwest coast of Mauritius, Ocean’s Creek Beach Hotel is about an hour’s drive from Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport, and the hotel offers an airport shuttle service for an additional fee.

Location and what's nearby

Le Goulet Rd, Balaclava, Mauritius

Boasting a centuries-old history as a stopping-point for merchant ships and a privately-owned estate, the surrounding area of Balaclava on Mauritius' northwest coast continues to be an island highlight. When you aren’t sinking your toes into the pristine sands of Le Goulet Beach, you’ll also be close to the secluded and wildly beautiful Turtle Bay, a protected marine park where water sports opportunities and sublime panoramic views await at every turn.

Stick around the hotel for a range of fun activities like wall climbing, archery and bocce, or perhaps go for a soothing yoga session and a friendly game of badminton or beach volleyball. You’ll find golf, fishing and cycling opportunities all in the vicinity, while local attractions like the Pamplemousses Botanical Garden and the Sugar Museum are also within easy reach. The surrounding area also hosts many of the island's finest beaches like Grand Baie, Trou aux Biches, Pointe aux Canonniers and more, while the famous Notre-Dame Auxiliatrice church in Cap Malheureux is one of the island's most iconic buildings. And for a taste of the island’s enchanting natural scenery, head south to the Black River Gorges National Park for magical waterfalls, breathtaking hikes and colourful wildlife.
