The dream hotel where to put your suitcases on the east coast of Mauritius
Sheltered from the trade winds, on the east coast of Mauritius, the Four Seasons Resort Mauritius admirably uses the space of its peninsula to offer a superb view of the sea.
Upon arrival, the blue of the Indian Ocean stands out in the background. Here, there is no question of overloading the decor, of competing with nature, whose starkness underlines the beauty. The variety of places and atmospheres is obviously one of the major assets of this resort. We choose one of the 136 villas with swimming pool, scattered over the vast 26-hectare estate between dream beaches, lush mountains, mangroves and turquoise lagoons e. Everyone has their share of blue sky and can rub shoulders with infinity in complete privacy. As for the cuisine, the pots are filled with Indian spices, Creole and African recipes, but also with Japanese-style raw fish found at Umi.Zaka , which takes its concept from its name. In a very different register, L'Acquapazza is an elegant restaurant that offers Italian specialties made from freshly caught seafood. Like linguine al Ricci de mare made with garlic, dried cherry tomatoes, toasted breadcrumbs, fresh sea urchin and lemon zest. Familiar territory in unknown territory. Pure delight. All orchestrated by the starred chef Marco Garfagnini who explores the flavors of this region with a very singular talent.
We go there for…
Superlatives abound when we ask golfers about their perception of the Anahita Golf Club course . Indeed, there are countless enchanting panoramas that flow along this route. Just opposite, designed by the legendary Bernhard Langer , the Ile aux Cerfs course is just as exceptional. It can only be reached by boat, after a short trip of about ten minutes in an arm of the sea of about one kilometer. The course offers dream views of the lagoon and its turquoise waters. Unforgettable ride guaranteed. The more athletic can do lengths in the fitness center's semi-Olympic swimming pool or make the Indian Ocean their playground by practicing one of the many water sports. Your choice of windsurfing, paddleboarding, kayaking, introduction to water skiing, diving and snorkeling to discover the coral reef. Ultimate chic, the 2,000 m 2 Spa erected on stilts is a true architectural marvel, in the graphic and soft purity of wood, lava stone and water. Massages and facials are done in collaboration with South African brand TheraNaka , a premium organic brand made with organic and sustainable ingredients like marula, immune-boosting rooibos and rehydrating Kalahari melon. Here, the expert hands of practitioners alternate lymphatic drainage , effleurage and pressure on the legs and back using a bamboo roller. The sound of the waves takes over, tensions are released, serenity invades every part of the body. And, the icing on the rest, huge and comfortable meridian-cradles, scattered around the lagoon, invite you to take a siesta. We only have one desire then, to lie down on one of the sublime beaches for another sweetness of life. The seventh heaven is not very far away, and we say to ourselves that paradise must have Mauritian accents.
