About Renting a Car at Balaclava The Westin Hotel
Balaclava on northern Mauritius is an excellent starting point for exploring the island, and from here you'll reach Port Louis in approximately 20 minutes' drive south along the M2 highway. Remember that Mauritius has left-hand traffic, which is good to keep in mind before you get behind the wheel. North along the coast, you'll find the popular beaches at Grand Baie and Pereybere, just a couple of kilometers away, with crystal-clear water and lively restaurants.
If you want to experience the island's interior, you can drive south toward the dramatic crater lake Trou aux Cerfs in Curepipe or the colorful earth formations in Chamarel, approximately an hour's drive away. Mauritius's best weather occurs during the dry season from May to November, perfect for excursions along coastal roads and up into the lush mountains.
We compare prices from all major providers at Balaclava The Westin Hotel so you can see the total cost upfront - including insurance, fuel terms and any extras. Most bookings include free cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup, giving you flexibility if your plans change.
