LIVE FULLY SEGA SHOW The Sega dance is originated from the ritual music of Madagascar and the mainland of Africa, and it is the Musical Expression of the Mauritian Way of Life: joy and liveliness. Many singers had thought of also bringing forward the English version of the Sega songs but later resolved not to proceed with it so as to preserve the uniqueness and cultural richness of the local music of Mauritius. The original instruments are fast disappearing, making way for the more conventional orchestra ensemble. However, all along the coastal fishing villages, the traditional instruments such as the “Ravanne”, “Triangle”, the “Maravanne” and the traditional guitar are still being used.

Every Saturday, a contemporary artistic experience is performed at Mystique Bar & Lounge

WHAT TO DO IN THE NORTH Grand Baie is the Mauritian centre for sailing activities. Visitors can join a yacht tour, a catamaran cruise or even charter a private yacht for a day here. Conditions for sailing are usually excellent and yachts can be chartered to cruise around Mauritius or to visit some of the northern offshore islands. SSR Botanical Gardens are one of North Mauritius’ most visited tourist attractions. Famed for their giant Victoria Amazonica Water Lilies whose gargantuan leaves expand as wide as three meters in diameter, and for the amazing Talipot, a plant that flowers only once every 30 to 100 years !

KIDS DIG IN. PARENTS CHILL OUT

All parents know that hungry kids can be tough to please and tough on wallets. That’s why we created the SPG®Kids Pass program for our members. For a flat daily rate, children aged 12 and younger can enjoy all-inclusive access to a variety of dining options, including children’s menus, buffets (where available) and beverages. Options are available throughout the day, so both the timing and choices are up to you. It’s just one more way for kids and the grown-ups who love them to enjoy every meal.

LEARN MORE ABOUT... BALACLAVA & TURTLE BAY Turtle Bay known to old seafarers since centuries as a safe and secure anchorage where they could replenish fresh water and food on their voyages to and from the east. Between 1598 and 1710, the Dutch tried several times to establish a colony. The captains of the Dutch East India Company gave it the name “Schildpatt’s Baai”. The abundant ebony forests which covered the northern part of Mauritius provided best ship building material to repair broken masts or damaged vessels. In 1735, the first Governor of the French East India Company, Mahé de Labourdonnais, decided to establish Port Louis as the main harbour of the island, instead of Grand Port. Turtle Bay then became more significant. Around 1740, a naval arsenal was built, as well as an iron foundry and a gunpowder factory. In order to procure water for the workshops, a dam was built across the ‘Rivière Citron’ in 1743. This dam is still existent today. 8th May 1748, Admiral Boscawen anchored in Turtle Bay with a fleet of 23 British ships, in an attempt to take over Mauritius from the French. However, they got under heavy fire from the cannons of the Turtle Bay and Tombeau Bay batteries and never managed to land. After 4 days the fleet left, anxious to reach India before the monsoon season. Facing the resort, Turtle Bay was the first zone to be proclaimed a national marine park. Sheltered from the South East trade winds, this part of the island is ideal for snorkelling and diving, given its very rich marine environment. Endless varieties of corals, fish and turtles live in harmony in this underwater protected paradise.


PLAY WELL It is an extensive service offered to our youngest guests throughout the resort. This is where we create a world of fun and laughter for children. Hidden away in our exotic tropical garden, the Westin Kids Club Discovery Room® is the hub of activities for kids aged 4 - 12. Supervised activities like traditional island storytelling and nature walks ensure that your children leave with unique, wonderful memories and type specimen book.

LAUGHTER IS EVERYWHERE Located in the lush garden, our on-site Westin Kids Club Discovery Room® is the hub of activity for kids aged 4–12. When your kids spend the day at the Westin Kids Club, they’ll receive a Discovery Pack® filled with everything they need to explore Turtle Bay. Children go home with memories they can’t make anywhere else.

My tip is the fantastic stargazing activity, I have never seen so many beautiful stars above! And if you’re lucky, you can even see a shooting star! WOW’.

SIGN UP Sign up for family-friendly activities like fireside storytelling, sand castle competitions and movie nights. Or enjoy a Parents’ Night Off so you can relax and reconnect with each other while the kids make new friends, play games or sing karaoke.

MEET WITH: GINO, OUR ENTERTAINMENT MANAGER

Hello and Welcome to sunny Mauritius, my name is Gino and I was born to entertain you... the hardest task ever, and I like it :) Having joined Starwood Hotels & Resorts since 2008 and building my team of crazy folks since the opening of The Westin Turtle Bay Resort & Spa, I confess that I love working within such a beautiful property. As a native Mauritian, I enjoy creating fun experiences for our guests and team members. Like Obelix (the French cartoon character), I felt in the cauldron of entertainment since my childhood. I also believe that music is THE universal language especially when it comes to guitars. Feel free to meet with me for a local music initiation around a refreshing cocktail. My favorite color is...i just realized that I don’t have a favorite color... but as long as it brings happiness and fits the decor, it should work for me! Italian and Chinese dishes remain my favorites, so feel free to call me for lunch :) Have fun! Gino
