Anahita, Mauritius
This June sees the unveiling of one of the world’s most privileged and exclusive island hideaways. Mauritius is a paradise of incomparable beauty and Anahita now invites Black Card readers to experience the ultimate tropical holiday in their own private Mauritian residence.
Anahita World Class Sanctuary provides guests with the easy luxury of hotel living, but within the incredible space of a private home. Why restrict yourself to a hotel when you could retreat to your own Mauritian residence complete with a round-the-clock Villa Master, concierge and daily maid service? Pascal Prigent, General Manager of Anahita, comments “Anahita is the ultimate playground, a stunning natural site of 213 hectares with lush vegetation and incredible views across the blue lagoon and majestic mountain peaks. We have ensured that anything is possible for our guests, from being whisked across the island by helicopter to the concierge-run private residences - bringing veranda living into the 21st century.”
Each home embodies the ‘New Mauritian’ style – contemporary yet evocative of island tradition, its interior design entwining with the outdoors to immerse residents in Anahita’s splendid natural setting. Soothing colours and textures create a sleek, informal elegance with light, airy rooms extending on to large ocean-facing verandas complete with relaxing plunge pool. Every whim is catered for – from gourmet fitted kitchens to luxurious bath tubs with views to the lagoon, golf course or distant mountains. The surrounding tropical gardens offer direct access to the lagoon promenade.
Anahita provides Black Card readers with all the necessities for serious relaxation – a personal Villa Master, fully stocked fridge, in-room massage treatments, gourmet destination restaurant, fine selection of boutiques, incredible infinity pool, fitness centre with tennis courts and professional kids and teens club. In addition, an 18-hole championship golf course has been designed by Ernie Els, making the most of the spectacular terrain. 
Simply relax, or choose from fishing in the lagoon to trekking in lush forest, kite surfing on the coral barrier reef or visiting Port-Louis to revel in the buzz of the Indian Ocean’s oldest racetrack. La Place Belgath is Anahita’s vibrant village centre, complete with bustling Mauritian market place stocking fresh local produce. Pick up your vegetables, fine wines or cigars from the ‘Epicerie Gourmande’ or perhaps a home-made ice cream or custom-made blend from the coffee shop. A jeweller provides bespoke pieces, florist hosts weekly floristry classes, while an Arts and Crafts shop specialises in locally made products – immersing guests fully into “la belle vie mauricienne”.
The first phase of 70 stunning apartments – the ‘Anahita Residences at L’Adamante ‘ – are now available for Black Card readers and range from £569 per night for a two bed residence in low season to £927 per night for a three bed residence in peak season*. Anahita is developed by Ciel Properties Ltd.
