Location
Angsana Balaclava sits on the island’s quiet north-west coast, in a sheltered bay just outside Port Louis. The setting feels tucked away, with calm waters and golden sands, yet you’re within easy reach of the capital and Grand Baie.
Rooms
There are just 54 suites and villas, each designed with a blend of contemporary Asian style and Mauritian charm. Expect wide terraces, outdoor showers, and private pools in many. Guests love how the spaces feel both luxurious and restful, with large windows opening to gardens or the sea.
Amenities
Wellness is at the heart of Angsana Balaclava. The spa is one of the island’s best, offering hydrotherapy, yoga pavilions, and tailored treatments. There’s an infinity pool overlooking the bay, two restaurants celebrating both Asian flavours and Mauritian cuisine, and a relaxed beachfront bar.
Activities
You can snorkel or kayak in the calm lagoon, try diving or sailing, or simply enjoy a sunset cruise. Cooking classes, yoga sessions, and guided cultural tours add to the experience, while golf and lively beach towns are within easy reach for a day out.
Sustainability
Angsana is part of the Banyan Tree Group, known for its strong environmental ethos. The hotel minimises single-use plastics, supports reef conservation, and works with local communities on cultural and craft initiatives. Guests will notice refillable amenities, menus shaped by seasonal island produce, and eco-friendly spa products.

January
January is prone to cyclones and rain, so if you're looking for a beach holiday this is not a reliable time to travel.
February
February is the most active period during the cyclone season in Mauritius, so we would avoid travelling at this time
March
In March the weather is hot and humid, with sporadic rainfall as the end of the cyclone season comes to a close. It is a popular time for travellers as the temperatures aren't too high.
April
If you're wanting to travel in April expect hot weather with temperatures rising to 30 degrees with increasing humidity levels.
May
May is one of the best and most popular month to travel to Mauritius, with temperatures hovering over the 25 degrees mark, with easing humidity making for a comfortable climate.
June
During June the temperatures cool to 24 degrees due to the trade winds on the east and south coast of Mauritius, offering warm and sunny days.
July
The temperatures cool again in July, as the trade winds pick up making some of the more open beaches less sheltered and breezy. It is a popular time to travel due to the summer holidays starting in the Northern Hemisphere.
August
Much like July, August experiences increased winds with warm days perfect for watersports and the islands more sheltered beaches. During the evenings temperatures become cooler and you may appreciate a few more layers.
September
In September the trade winds die down and temperatures rise once again, making it the perfect time for snorkelling as diving as the water clarity increases thanks to the calm weather conditions.
October
October is the islands driest month with temperatures exceeding 25 degrees. If you love nature Mauritius is overflowing with exotic flowers and wildlife as everything comes into bloom, making it the best time for mountain hikes and trips to the country's national parks.
November
In November temperatures start to rise again, as does the humidity as the country progresses into its cyclone season. The weather can be unpredictable with small rain showers, meaning it is still a good time to travel to Mauritius.
December
As the festive season looms, December is one of the busiest months for visitors in Mauritius. As humidity builds up, heavy rain showers occur helping lowering the humidity and clearing the heavy skies.
