Maritim Resort & Spa Mauritius, a five-star luxury resort on Turtle Bay, blends colonial heritage with modern comfort and tropical serenity.
Set within a 25-hectare park on the historic Balaclava estate, the beachfront resort offers ocean-view suites, fine dining, and an award-winning spa.
For travelers seeking authentic Mauritian hospitality, Maritim stands as one of the island’s most elegant and heritage-rich destinations.
Over the years, this coastline has grown into a haven where manicured gardens, calm lagoons, and attentive service meet a thoughtful wellness program and vibrant dining culture. Maritim isn’t just a resort; it’s a living expression of Mauritius’s layered story, where history and modern comfort share the same view of the sea.
A legacy by the bay
The resort’s character begins with its setting, the Ruins of Balaclava, an 18th-century estate once central to Mauritius’s early trade. Today, Maritim’s grounds preserve that heritage through old stone walls, river estuaries, and a gentle waterfall winding through its gardens.
Walking the property feels like stepping through time, where nature softens the traces of sugar mills and colonial paths. This quiet sense of continuity gives Maritim a depth and presence few island resorts can match.
A setting apart
On the island’s northwest coast, Maritim enjoys one of Mauritius’s sunniest stretches. Turtle Bay’s lagoon is ideal for swimming, kayaking, and snorkelling, while its location, between Port Louis and Grand Bay, offers both access and privacy. Palm-lined trails, granite headlands, and tidal pools create a landscape that feels secluded yet welcoming, encouraging guests to slow down and let the island’s pace take over.
Rooms with character
Across its gardens, Maritim features 272 rooms and suites, including the Maritim Villa and several presidential suites. Interiors draw from the island’s colonial heritage, with wooden accents, open balconies, and calming sea or garden views.
Whether for couples seeking quiet or families looking to reconnect, each space is designed for ease, where comfort feels natural and unforced.
Dining that celebrates place
Dining at Maritim captures the island’s diverse spirit. From the fine-dining Château Mon Désir overlooking the historic ruins to laid-back beach grills and rooftop bars, each setting has its rhythm.
Menus highlight local ingredients, reef fish, tropical fruit, and island spices, paired with European influences. Every meal feels personal, whether it’s a seaside barbecue or dinner under the stars.
Wellness, leisure, and local care
Wellness sits at the heart of Maritim. The 3,500-square-metre Tropical Flower Spa offers treatments rooted in nature, from floral aromatherapy to hydrotherapy. Beyond the spa, guests can swim in two pools, ride horses, play golf, or simply rest by the bay.
The resort also stands out for its commitment to community, preserving the Balaclava ruins, supporting local artisans, and sustaining jobs for nearby residents. Recognition from TUI Holly and other global awards affirms its standing as both a luxury destination and a responsible steward of its heritage.
An enduring island retreat
What makes Maritim special is the balance it strikes, between memory and renewal, the past and the present. Here, stone ruins meet soft sand, and every detail feels quietly intentional. For travellers seeking fine dining, deep rest, and the warmth of Mauritian hospitality, Maritim Resort & Spa Mauritius remains a timeless retreat where the island’s soul still feels close enough to touch.
