Four Seasons Resort Mauritius at Anahita: Private island pool villa sanctuary on the Indian Ocean with Ernie Els golf and overwater spa

Spanning 64 tropical acres on the secluded east coast of Mauritius in Beau Champ (framed by Bambou Mountain and turquoise Indian Ocean lagoons, just 45 minutes from Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport), Four Seasons Resort Mauritius at Anahita opened as the island’s premier all-pool-villa luxury palace. Designed by WATG with traditional thatched roofs and private plunge pools in all 136 villas, the sanctuary includes exclusive access to a private beach on the idyllic island of Île aux Cerfs. Featuring the acclaimed open-air Italian restaurant Acquapazza, the pan-Asian dining room Beau Champ, four outdoor heated swimming pools, an 18-hole championship golf course designed by Ernie Els, and a serene overwater Spa, this property is Mauritius’s ultimate luxury grand palace.

Arrival introduces travelers to unvarnished Mauritian island warmth and turquoise lagoon splendour: personal hosts greet guests beneath high thatched pavilions in Beau Champ before entering the open-air lobby with reflection pools, tropical flowers, and chilled Mauritian vanilla-infused iced tea. Day-one logistics focus on coordinating bespoke Mauritian marine, golf, and island pursuits: taking the complimentary private boat shuttle to the pristine exclusive beach on Île aux Cerfs (15 minutes away), playing 18 oceanfront holes on the Ernie Els championship golf course (steps away), swimming in the four outdoor heated lagoon swimming pools, indulging in sugarcane and tropical essential oil therapies at the overwater spa, enjoying craft rum cocktails at Umi.Zaka Bar, and reserving dinner at Acquapazza.

Palace living balances active lagoon discovery with serene overwater wellness: the spa features 12 private overwater treatment suites set on wooden stilts over the mangrove lagoon, steam rooms, saunas, 4 pools, and therapies utilizing organic Mauritian sugarcane, coconut, and marine algae. Dining is an extraordinary Franco-Mauritian and Italian culinary summit: contemporary Italian gastronomy at Acquapazza (featuring fresh Indian Ocean lobster, handmade pasta, and Grand Crus), French-Mauritian seafood at Beau Champ, Asian street food at Umi.Zaka, and beach barbecues at La Plaz on Île aux Cerfs.

Accommodations comprise 136 standalone private pool villas styled in natural stone, teak, and private furnished sun decks with plunge pools ranging from 70 to 800 square metres. Each residence features sweeping views of the turquoise lagoon, ocean, or lush gardens, plush king beds with custom linens, and marble bathrooms with deep soaking bathtubs and outdoor garden showers.
