Sports and leisure activities Balaclava

In the park of the Maritim hotel, in the middle of nature, a stone's throw from the sea, this well-equipped centre welcomes riders of all levels, tourists and residents alike, for rides or lessons with a qualified instructor. A dozen horses (mostly former champions) share the stable, plus 2 ponies for the younger ones. There is a choice of rides in the cane fields or by the sea, and the possibility for riders of a good level to swim in the lagoon with the horses

This 9-hole, PAR 29 course was laid out and designed by Australian golf champion Graham Marsh in the extensive grounds of the Maritim Hotel. Hotel residents and out-of-town guests alike can enjoy this new, intermediate-level course, where each hole can be played from 2 different tees. Pros are on hand for lessons at all levels and, in addition to a Club House overlooking the tropical vegetation, the club is equipped with driving range and putting green, and a driving range lit at night.

Located in the heart of the Maritim hotel and its huge range of activities, this fine club, open to all, offers various types of diving (including wreck diving), the full PADI course curriculum and packages for all levels, from beginner to advanced. Services are of the highest quality (with the emphasis on safety), Scubapro equipment is regularly renewed, and a shuttle bus takes divers within a 5 km radius. In general, 2 dives are offered per day: one at 9am, the other at 1pm. Training courses are also available for children and the disabled.
