Angsana Balaclava Hotel opens at Turtle Bay in Mauritius
Angsana Hotels & Resorts, the sister brand of Banyan Tree, has added the distinct flavour of Mauritius to its growing portfolio. Only a four hour flight from Johannesburg, and just 15 minutes away from the capital of Port Louis, Angsana Balaclava is ideally situated along the picturesque Baie aux Tortues or Turtle Bay - famed for its turquoise sea and sandy beaches.
The Angsana Balaclava is a charming and intimate 5-star boutique resort, featuring a spa, 51 suites and a villa with four bedrooms. Emulating a traditional Mauritian village with its thatched roofs and use of bespoke local artistry including wrought iron entrance gates, the expansive reception features an arched roof, natural stone floors, lava stone walls and teak wood furniture, with views of the ocean and mountains beyond.
Spa offers nine treatment rooms
Guests can choose between garden suites, spa suites or exclusive beach front suites, most of which feature private plunge pools. The resort's main public area features three overlapping swimming pools separated by waterfalls, leading from an expansive seawater pool complete with sand to a lap pool and wading pool below.
As for the Angsana Spa, it offers nine treatment rooms - a yoga pavilion, a restorative vitality pool with several different water jet stations and a hamman. Eight expert spa therapists, trained at the Banyan Tree Spa Academy in Phuket, offer Asian and Ayurvedic spa treatments using local ingredients from botanical coconut, ylang ylang and sugar cane to marine elements such as seaweed and mud.
