Island idyll
Black River really does have it all. Fabulous beaches and great water
sports are a given, and there are a number of retail, restaurant and
entertainment venues in the surrounding areas. Moreover it is only about
40 minutes’ drive to the capital city of Port Louis. Even more exciting
– it’s a mere two-minute drive or 10-minute jog to Black River Gorges
National Park where you can mountain bike, trail run or hike. There
you can marvel at the fabulous forests and the tumbling waterfalls,
and identify a surprising range of beautiful birds, many of which are
endemic.
There are lots of great places to invest and to live
all over the country, but island-style living really is
all about the beach, the sea, and mucking about
in boats.
So, if you’re thinking of acquiring property in
Mauritius, consider buying on the ocean’s edge. La
Balise Marina, the only residential marina on the
island, is a good choice. With a waterfront residence
and a boat of some kind – perhaps a kayak, an ocean-
going yacht, or something in between – you’re all set for
a lifestyle of oceanside bliss.
Style
So far, about 100 units have been sold, built and delivered, and
the developer has recently launched the sale of 16 off-plan freehold
waterfront apartments. These premium and deluxe apartments, which
measure 128 square metres or 203 square metres, have two and
three bedrooms and bathrooms respectively. Thanks to an exclusive
partnership with the world leader in furniture design and distribution,
purchasers have the opportunity of having their apartments furnished by
Roche Bobois.
Lifestyle
With the beautiful mountains of Black River Gorges as
a backdrop, the 12.8-hectare development is a swirl of
waterways on the edge of the ocean. When completed, it
will comprise 143 freehold apartments, duplexes and
freestanding villas.
Overlooking the gentle waters of the marina, the first-floor
apartments at La Balise Marina have generously sized terraces,
and enjoy access to a shared pool surrounded by beautiful
gardens. Ground-floor units also have a private pool. All of them
have direct access to the sea through private or shared moorings.
Situated in the seaside village of Black River on the west coast, La
Balise Marina provides home owners with a wide range of facilities,
including the Sunset, a stylish, relaxing venue with a bar, a restaurant,
a large infinity pool and a spa accessible to both residents and the
general public.
