Overview
Four Seasons Resort Mauritius at Anahita sits on a private peninsula wrapped in calm lagoon water and lush tropical gardens. It's a barefoot‑luxury escape where romance meets adventure: boat rides at dawn, bikes along palm‑lined paths, gentle waves lapping at the sand, and the warm glow of island sunsets.
The resort blends modern elegance with natural beauty — teakwood, volcanic stone, and open‑air architecture that invites in ocean breezes. During winter in the Northern Hemisphere, Mauritius is in its warm, sun‑kissed season, making it an idyllic tropical retreat.
- Best time to visit: May through December for warm, sun-kissed weather—ideal when Northern Hemisphere experiences winter.
- What to pack: Light resort wear, golf attire, swimwear, reef-safe sunscreen, sun hat, and elegant casual evening clothes.
Where to Stay
Every villa at the resort is its own private sanctuary. Expect your own garden, your own terrace, and your own pool — all designed for slow mornings, long conversations, and uninterrupted romance. Interiors feature soft neutrals, natural textures, and wide windows that open to the outdoors.
Lagoon‑pool villas offer sparkling water views, while island villas sit among tropical greenery for maximum privacy. Outdoor showers, deep stone tubs, and shaded daybeds make the villa experience every bit as memorable as the resort itself.
Golf
The Ernie Els–designed championship course at Anahita is one of the most beautiful in the Indian Ocean. It combines wide fairways, ocean breezes, volcanic rock formations, mangrove forests, and dramatic finishing holes along the water.
Golfers enjoy:
- Thoughtfully crafted holes blending challenge and scenery
- Practice facilities perfect for tune‑ups before a round
- Complimentary green fees for resort guests (seasonal)
- Transport arranged seamlessly for early‑morning tee times
Whether you head out for 18 holes while your partner embraces a slow spa morning or you both enjoy a shared round, playing at Anahita feels like a postcard come to life.
Day Spa
The Four Seasons Spa at Anahita is nestled on its own island, surrounded by tranquil lagoon water. Treatment pavilions float above tropical gardens, offering a sense of calm and privacy that begins the moment you arrive.
