Named after the infamous battle site in the Crimean war, Balaclava is located by the mouth of the Citronne River and was once the flourishing estate of a rich and famous family. Today, its ruins form part of the Maritim Hotel, but can be visited for those interested who are not staying at the hotel too. Behind Balaclava, the terrain drops dramatically down to the river, and the remnants of an ancient mill and a powder depot which are haunted by the ghost of a white lady who is said to have been seen in the area for decades
Luxurious five star hotel Grand Mauritian is located a bit further down south.
