MAISON DE PRESTIGE Trou 18 Bliss restaurant A few kilometres from the picturesque fishing village of Trou d’Eau Douce, Anahita came to life in 2008: a heavenly living space where each villa is a work of art, and each hotel a must. In this soft cocoon of remarkable proportions and vast spaces, we cultivate the Mauritian art of living like no other. An art gallery, delicatessen, clubs for kids and teenagers, a boat-house, a private shuttle to île aux Cerfs and its magnificent golf course and private beach... Life is sweet at Anahita! “We are pleased to note the immense popularity of Anahita’s real estate. Out of the 325 estate units, more than 200 have already been sold” says Patrice Legris, CEO of Alteo Properties Ltd (the land developer). Anahita blends success and discretion marvellously. L’Adamante, Lunea, Solaia, The Gardens, The Fairways, Amalthea… all these evocative names reflect the success and variety of residential moods. Enthusiasts will love the next development phase that is set to be carried out in the northern region of the estate. French architect, Jean-Michel Wilmotte, a great name in European architecture mainly for the magnificent museum of Islamic art in Doha and the much-talked-about Russian Orthodox Cathedral in Paris (recently inaugurated quai Branly), places his signature designs on 8 prestigious villas. Remarkably spacious residences... right on the beachfront; simply exceptional added value in the luxury villa market in Mauritius. With Anahita, you can either select your villa model off-plan or build your own in accordance with a very precise outline specification. The choice of view adds a real dilemma: on one side, the legendary île aux Cerfs (Deer Island), and the other, the majestic and staggering mountain ranges of the eastern region of the island! Art has a prominent place at Anahita and this philosophy of life where beautiful things can be fully enjoyed, is bearing fruit: “Charmed by their lifestyle at Anahita, many of the initial owners have reinvested in the new development project. Very attractive capital gains have been realised during the resale. Living proof that Anahita represents a high-quality investment”, affirms Patrice Legris. And there is every reason to be. This site gives off an incredible feeling. It is way more than an idyllic place to spend luxurious holidays; Anahita offers a real lifestyle to the villa owners and clients of the 2 estate hotels, both chic and relaxed: Anahita the Resort and Four Seasons Resort Mauritius at Anahita. Recently renovated, Anahita the Resort hotel features 2 new brightly decorated restaurants situated on the beach, and a prestigious reception hall which can be used to host conferences and private parties. “We wish to offer unique experiences and at the same time strengthen our position in the 5-star hotel industry in Mauritius”, explains Patrice Legris. Themae, our latest curiosity stirring addition, is the trendiest Spa brand in Paris and New York, and cultivates an innovative spirit where tea is given a place of honour in this new spa at Anahita! Anahita owners love beautiful... and g ood things. The new Anahita Owners Club aims to host themed events on wine, fine cuisine and golf, but also wants you to live original and typical Mauritian experiences: from the famous spit-roast pig for a party among friends to an exclusive day on a fishing boat. What about golf ? From the magnificent 18-hole beachfront course to the privilege of participating in the prestigious Pro-am tournaments, such as the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open, a major event on the Mauritian golfing calendar. Golf enthusiasts all agree: Anahita is heaven on Earth! …And us as well! Our visit ends on the beautiful white sandy beach... Seated at the bar-restaurant terrace, a cup of coffee in hand and facing the breathtaking view of the glittering lagoon; we have fallen under the charm of this place. For a moment, time stood still at Anahita. ANAHITA Contact p.162 ÉDITION 2017 85
