Four Seasons Resort Mauritius at Anahita

A long sweeping road flanked by palm trees and the golf course ends at a simple,stylish main lobby facing the lagoon, a prelude to your days ahead. There is a slight feel of suburbia but with three different onsite restaurants and two beaches on either side you have plenty of privacy.

Soft, natural colour pallets are used throughout, with contemporary tropical furnishings and a charming outdoor garden shower. The ocean villas are the reason you stay here, with each having an unobstructed ocean view from a private plunge pool and sitting area-you are never going to want to leave your room.
