The Four Seasons at Anahita opened recently and, in the usual Four Seasons manner, opened with ease and style. A lovely 45 minute drive north along the eastern coastal road of Mauritius guides you to the hotel, which is positioned within The Anahita Wilderness Sanctuary which stretches along 6 kilometres (4 miles) of uninterrupted shoreline and provides a thoroughly tranquil environment.
The property offers 123 spacious villas and residences all with their own private pools. The Lagoon Pool Villas (which I recommend) and Presidential Suite are located on a private 4.5-hectare (11-acre) island, Ile aux Chats, while the Mangrove Pool Villas, Garden Pool Villas and Private Residences are on the mainland. Ile aux Chats island is where the two beaches, main pool, beach restaurant and water sports are located so I really feel its worth spending a bit more and staying on the island. The rooms are lovely, contemporary in style and extremely comfortable.
With four restaurants, all delicious in their own right- from French to Mauritian, it’s unlikely you’ll get bored. The spa is also beautiful with treatment rooms located over the marshes and a treatment menu as long as your arm!
In terms of activities, we went up the Domain de L’Etoile. The area consists of 6,000 hectares (14,800 acres) of mountainous landscape – the best-preserved region of Mauritius. You can enjoy lush valleys, natural rivers and panoramic views of more than half the island. The domain is the habitat of several species of wild animals and is rich with indigenous plants and trees, including the most ancient ebony trees in Mauritius. L’Etoile offers a variety of excursions, including mountain biking, trekking, four-wheel-drive ranging, quad biking and archery.
