The hotel lies on a private beach front estate known as Balaclava along Turtle Bay ideally located between Port-Louis (12 km) and Grand Bay (12 km), on the North-West coast, which is the sunniest region of Mauritius.
The distance to the airport is 60 km. New trunk roads provide easy access to the hotel.

Immersed in the calming ambience of a tropical hideaway, "Balaclava" is a historical estate dating back to the 18th century, with fascinating natural scenery. On the northern border flows Citron River, over dams and cascades into a shallow lagoon integrated in the lush tropical vegetation.

Mysterious ruins remain to be explored as witnesses of the colonial times. Walkways and footpaths allow for long walks through the luxuriant garden of the estate with its magnificent views over the impressive mountain range of Mauritius.

“Turtle Bay" is the first Marine National Park in Mauritius with well preserved underwater life. There are excellent snorkelling grounds right off the beach.
Aquamarine warm waters and secluded golden sandy beach in front of the hotel is about 500 m long well protected by a coral reef. The bay has excellent conditions for all kinds of water sports.
