The Vibe: What Makes Oberoi Street So Special?

The prevailing aesthetic is “effortless island chic”—think elegant resort wear, flowing dresses in unique prints, high-quality linen, handcrafted leather accessories, and delicate jewelry. It’s a style that is both sophisticated and perfectly suited to the tropical climate.
