tour of Intercontinental Resort Balaclava Fort Mauritius!

The InterContinental Mauritius Resort Balaclava Fort is located along the beach fronting Balaclava
Bay, a secluded area looking out toward the Indian Ocean on the northwest coast of Mauritius.
It’s located an hour’s drive from Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport,
and a 20-minute drive from the capital of Port Louis, Mauritius’ capital.
Pools No hotel experience is complete without a
pool! There are two heated infinity pools in the resort, one with a kids' section.
Each pool has panoramic views of the bay and is surrounded by loungers. Both are heated
during the winter. The main pool is the centerpiece of the resort, and it has a smaller kids’
pool and the Sugar Cane Bar right next to it. The southern pool, which is a little more
serene, is next to Segala, with views going out to Port Louis. Chill out in the sun with
stunning poolside views!
Beach The hotel’s private Ville Valio beach on
Balaclava Bay is a little rocky, after a recent cyclone, there’s not much sand left, making
it difficult to play and swim in. There’s also coral, which makes it dangerous for children
and sometimes not swimmable. However, there are plenty of comfortable loungers across
the beach for guests to use, and a nearby beach bar. Guests can also borrow kayaking,
sailing, surfing, and snorkeling equipment, or make use of the beach volleyball and soccer
areas.
Speaking of Rooms which is an important part; The hotel’s 210 rooms come in a variety
of configurations and views, but all are ocean-facing and have a private furnished balcony or terrace.
All have a similar sophisticated design that’s modern, if a bit generic. Rooms come with
dark-wood furniture, beige tiling, and a mix of textiles and accents in soft earth tones.
Island-inspired artwork hangs on the walls, but overall, there’s little in terms of
unique decor. Standard amenities consist of laptop-sized safes, flat-screen TVs with international
satellite channels, bathrobes and slippers, minibars, and ironing equipment. The spa-like
bathrooms all feature separate (and huge) stone bathtubs and walk-in rain showers. Toiletries
and hairdryers are provided. The 100 entry-level Deluxe Ocean Facing Rooms
have some ground-floor units that open directly to the gardens. Not only that there are Forty
family-style rooms available, which sleep two adults and two kids in separate bedrooms,
as well as 40 Prestige Ocean View Rooms, which have a direct view over the ocean and Nespresso
machines (four capsules per day are included). If you are looking for a hokey moon resort,
the hotel got you covered! The 20 honeymoon rooms with an outdoor bathtub on the private
terrace, and 10 two-story, 3,229-square-foot Presidential Suites feature two private terraces
(one with a whirlpool bath), kitchen, and two 53-inch TVs. A perfect honeymoon spot
too!
