LOCATION: The Maritim Hotel lies on a 25 hectare private estate known
as Balaclava along Turtle Bay (between Port Louis and Grand Baie) on the north-west
coast of Mauritius, which is the sunniest region of Mauritius. The distance to
the airport is 60km (45 min) and to Port Louis 12km (15 min). New trunk roads
provide easy access to the Maritim Hotel. The 'Balaclava' Estate is a historical
estate dating back to the 18th century, with a fascinating natural scenery from
Mauritius. On the northern border flows Rivière Citron, over dams and cascades
into a shallow lagoon flanked by lush tropical vegetation of Mauritius. 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 most picturesque mountain range in Mauritius. 'Turtle
Bay' is the first Marine National Park in Mauritius with well preserved underwater
life. There are excellent snorkeling grounds right off the beach. The white sandy
