Overview

 
A classic five-star beach resort set in a huge tropical estate on Turtle Bay, on the sunny north-west coast of Mauritius. Maritim Resort & Spa pairs colonial-style architecture with a long sandy beach, a spa, a kids’ club and an unusually wide choice of sports, all within around 25 hectares of gardens and nature park – a relaxed, spacious choice for families and couples alike.

Gardens running down to the calm water of Turtle Bay: at the Maritim there is always room to spread out, from the beach and pool to the shady paths of the estate’s nature park. Maritim Resort & Spa Mauritius sits on a private beachfront estate in Balaclava, between the capital Port Louis and the resort town of Grand Baie, each around 20–25 minutes away by road. The bay in front of the hotel is a protected marine area with gentle water for swimming and snorkelling, and the north-west coast is one of the driest, sunniest parts of the island.

Map & location



Balaclava, Turtle Bay, north-west Mauritius

Balaclava is a quiet, green corner of the north-west coast, where rivers run down to Turtle Bay – named after the turtles early sailors found here. The Maritim’s estate fills a large stretch of the shore, so the resort feels secluded even though Port Louis and Grand Baie are both close.

Port Louis has the Caudan Waterfront, the central market and the Aapravasi Ghat World Heritage Site, while Grand Baie is the island’s liveliest resort town, with boat trips to the northern islets. The Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam botanical garden at Pamplemousses, famous for its giant water lilies, is a short drive inland.

  • Pamplemousses botanical garden about 7km
  • Port Louis (Caudan Waterfront) about 8km
  • Grand Baie about 11km
  • Flic en Flac beach about 26km
  • Approx. transfer time from airport about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes from Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International (MRU), on the other side of the island.

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


A large outdoor pool sits in the gardens near the beach, with loungers and parasols around it and plenty of shade from the palms.

The beach itself is a long, sandy stretch on Turtle Bay. The water inside the bay is usually calm, and the marine area makes snorkelling straight from the shore rewarding.

Spa, sports & wellness


The spa is set in the gardens, with a sauna and a menu of massages and beauty treatments. Typical facilities include:

• Spa with sauna and treatment rooms
• Fitness room
• Hairdressing salon
• Games room
• Bike hire (extra charge)
• Free Wi-Fi

Activities


The Maritim is known for the amount there is to do on site. Typical options include:

• Snorkelling and water sports on Turtle Bay
• Walking and cycling trails in the nature park
• Kids’ club and playground for younger guests
• Boat trips from Grand Baie to the northern islets
• A day in Port Louis for the market and waterfront
• Visiting the Pamplemousses botanical garden

Guest services


Guest services typically include:

• 24-hour reception
• Room service
• Currency exchange
• Laundry service (extra charge)
• Car hire desk and parking
• Meeting rooms

If anything is especially important to you – accessibility, a quiet room or a special occasion – tell our team before booking and we will check the latest details with the hotel.

Food & drink


The resort has a main buffet restaurant for breakfast and themed dinners, plus à la carte options for evenings out, with Mauritian, Creole and international dishes. Bars by the pool and the beach serve drinks through the day.

The estate is self-contained, but Grand Baie and Port Louis are close enough for a dinner out if you want to explore.

FAQs

Where is Maritim Resort & Spa in Mauritius?
It is in Balaclava on the north-west coast, on Turtle Bay. Port Louis and Grand Baie are both around 20–25 minutes away by road, and the airport is around an hour or a little more by road.
Is the Maritim good for families?
Yes. It has a kids’ club and playground, a big estate to explore, calm water in the bay and family room options.
Is the sea calm at the Maritim?
Turtle Bay is a protected bay and is usually calm, which suits swimming and snorkelling. Conditions change with the weather, so follow the beach team’s advice.
Which meal plans can I choose?
The holiday offers on this page show the meal plans available for each date, and our team can check other options for you.
Is the north-west coast a good choice in the UK winter?
Yes. The west coast is sheltered from the trade winds and tends to be drier and sunnier, and November to April is the Mauritian summer, with warm sea temperatures.
