Maritim Resort & Spa Mauritius, hotel in Mauritius
The Maritim Resort & Spa Mauritius is a hotel in Terre Rouge on the island of Mauritius, spread across a large estate with gardens, beaches, and historic ruins. The property features spacious rooms with wood accents, several restaurants and bars, a spa surrounded by tropical plants, two pools, and various sports facilities.
The grounds were originally known as the Ruins of Balaclava and date back to the 1700s, after which it became a protected national monument. The old structures still visible today shape the resort and connect its history to the island's past.
The name Terre Rouge refers to the reddish earth of the region, shaped by the island's geological character. Visitors can observe this natural coloring in the landscape around the property and understand the connection between the place and its setting.
The airport is about 60 kilometers away and can be reached in about an hour by car; alternatively, a helicopter pad is available on the grounds. The resort offers a wide range of activities including diving, horseback riding, tennis, and water sports, as well as excursions to nearby attractions like waterfalls and natural sights.
The resort houses The Distillery, a bar with the island's largest rum collection, where visitors can learn about Mauritius's rich rum tradition. This unusual collection makes it a place where history, craftsmanship, and relaxation come together in a distinctive way.
