Intercontinental Resort Mauritius is a complete upscale resort with super facilities.

Description & Location

Intercontinental Resort Mauritius was recently further enhanced and now has the reputation for being one of the top resorts on the island – which is saying something with standards being so high.

It combines chic elegance, excellent on-site activities and a naturally beautiful and picturesque location, nestled in the heart of lush tropical gardens, with a private stretch of soft, white sandy beach and beautiful forested mountains providing a stunning backdrop.

It is located on the northwest coast at Balaclava, one of the most historical sites (the little village was actually named after the battle in the Crimean War fought 1853/56, ironically fought against the Russian Empire).

The lively resort town of Grand Bay—known for its boutique shopping—is a 20-minute drive north. The capital, Port Louis, with its colonial buildings and markets, is a 25-minute drive south. The historic Pamplemousses Botanical Garden is just a 10-minute drive away.

The airport is 55 minutes away, a scenic drive across the island from southeast to northwest.

CHIC CHECK

Many people associate Intercontinental with being a strong commercial brand, but the Intercontinental Resort Mauritius (and their resort in Danang Vietnam) nicely illustrate they also do leisure rather well.

The resort has all-round attractions for multi-generational families, as well as romantic couples, as there are several secluded areas, like the dedicated infinity pool overlooking the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean.

This northwest location tends to be shielded from the high winds experienced on the east coast during our summer (Mauritius winter) months.
