Angsana Balaclava’s striking fusion of Western, Oriental and African motifs perfectly complements its award-winning spa. Calm your mind and muse on your surrounds while indulging in a menu of time-tested treatments, from relaxation and weight management to Ayurvedic Tri Dosha top-to-toe renewal.

Leap into your day with a plunge into the waters of the infinity-edge lap pool followed by a quick work-out at the fitness centre, and then abandon yourself to the sea: windsurfing, water skiing or deep-sea fishing. Surface for lunch at the Passion Grill, just a few steps away from Baie aux Tortues beach. Boasting an open-grill kitchen and a swim-up bar, float with your drink while chatting to the chef as he prepares to your liking the speciality seafood. Then curl up sleepily on a rattan lounger and seek refuge from the sunshine with a holiday read. Finally, spoil yourself with a manicure at Angsana Balaclava’s beauty salon – by now, the shadows are lengthening and it is time to consider dinner.

Wander across to the Sylea Bar, which is ideally located next to the alfresco terrace of Angsana Balaclava’s Oryza restaurant, and ask for the cocktail menu: Sylea is the perfect spot for a pre-dinner drink.

Candlelit Oryza, with its volcanic lava walls and rich teak highlights, has an open-sided terrace that is the perfect spot to enjoy its signature Mauritian-Asian fusion fare. Or you may have a sudden yen for the gourmet French, Indian and Creole dishes that will seduce you the moment you sink into this deep-red, delectable, spiced-orange world. But of course there is romantic – and then there is romantic, with Angsana Balaclava offering an in-villa service should you wish to dine in the privacy of your suite or picture-perfect ‘destination dining’. Consider for a moment the tranquil promise of a moonlit, white-sand beach as the sun sinks gently below the horizon… dine à deux under the stars, anywhere on the resort, secure in the attentive service of your steward – an exceptional and intimate dining experience that blends the magic and regal splendour of Mauritius with the delectable creations of Angsana’s chefs.
