Four Seasons Resort Mauritius at Anahita

Family stay and our 4th at the resort and first since the refurbishment. Absolutely superb experience Service Really wonderful across the entire hotel. Always personal, friendly and quick to support. Huge thanks in particular to: Maria - guest experience for all the support pre and during the stay. Completely amazing thank you! Vimla - from housekeeping in particular for dealing with the daily destruction in my kids room Avish and Akshaye - for superb help on the quiet beach Amit D - restaurant manager for all your help and for recommending and making me some special breakfast curries. Room We had 2 villas on the quiet beach where we stayed previously. Thanks for helping to return to these. These are beautifully located and spacious. With the renovations the rooms are now brighter. We really love this location Food There has been an overhaul of all the restaurants at the hotel. All are excellent in terms of food and service. As a family with 2 coeliac the choice and quality was very good - the hole made GF bread in particular was amazing. Angara - our favourite. You can have the traditional favourites but the innovative indian fusion dishes are simply incredible. Awase - beautiful location and ambience. Excellent food all round though the service a little slow. Chaloupe - breakfasts super with a wide ranging buffet and cook to order. Radici - good food and service Ti Pwason- nice to sit on the beach though would have preferred without the music. Fresh fish well cooked though portions a little small Golf Nice to have golf included. We played Ile aux Cerfs and Anahita courses. Anahita is more straightforward but Aux Cerfs is a challenge for players of my level though very pretty. Gym This has been refurbished with new equipment and weights. Plenty of cardio and the dumbells go >40kg which is great. Never too busy but could do with one more weight bench We didnt use tennis or spa this time. Incredibly highly recommended. Cant wait to come back for our 5th visit!

We had a great time at Four Seasons Mauritius. From check-in onwards, everything felt easy and welcoming. The property is beautiful, the rooms are spacious and very well done, and the overall vibe is relaxed luxury. Vidushi helped plan our activities and honestly made the whole stay very smooth. Everything was well coordinated and we never felt rushed. We also had a wonderful experience at Angara, the Indian restaurant. Chef Saravana is doing some really interesting things with Indian food, and Dipesh took great care of us at the table. Warm, friendly, and memorable meals. La Plaz, the private beach, was another highlight. It’s peaceful and well maintained, and the service there really stood out. The team, specially Baka and Satyam were attentive without being over the top, which made our beach time very enjoyable. Overall, it was a genuinely luxurious and comfortable stay. Great rooms, good food, beautiful surroundings, and people who clearly care about the guest experience. Would definitely recommend and would love to come back.

My four days at Four Seasons Mauritius at Anahita were unforgettable!! The arrival sets the tone. You walk into the lobby and that sweeping view just opens up in front of you. Beyond the setting, it is the people who make this place exceptional. At Angara, Chef Saravana’s approach to Indian cuisine feels refined yet comforting. Dipesh took such genuine care of us at dinner. At La Plaz Beach, Satyam, Sawan and Bakha made every afternoon by the water feel effortless. Manish at reception was consistently kind and helpful. Kamini deserves a very special mention. We were quite sunburnt one afternoon and the boutique had to close due to a water issue, but she still found Biafine for us and had it sent to our room. That thoughtfulness is rare. What I also loved is how much there is to actually experience here. The team organised snorkelling in the lagoon where we spotted wild seahorses. I explored the other side of the island and swam with dolphins in the open ocean. Just twenty minutes away, I even went swimming with horses. It felt like every day held something new. The private beach on Île aux Cerfs was another standout. Snorkelling in those clear lagoons was magical. The resort is beautiful, yes. But more importantly, it feels personal. You feel SO taken care of. You leave wanting to come back.

Overall We stayed at the property in January 2025 and experienced a deeply restorative time in many ways - yet also encountered shortcomings that were difficult to overlook. Having booked with the inherent trust that comes with the Four Seasons name, we expected the fundamentals to be impeccably fine-tuned. While certain aspects of our stay exceeded expectations, others unfortunately fell well below what one associates with this brand. Housekeeping & Maintenance After a long six-hour flight from India, it was disheartening to encounter issues almost immediately upon arrival. Following our first bath, the drains in the bath area overflowed, clearly choked. In the second washroom, there were ants present, along with a dead lizard. I documented these concerns and shared them with Neeraj, the duty manager - who truly deserves special mention. He is a gem: humble, sincere, deeply committed, and genuinely invested in resolving matters. Neeraj promptly involved the housekeeping manager and multiple staff members in an effort to address the situation. Despite these attempts, we discovered a dead cockroach the following day. While we fully appreciate that the resort is nestled amidst nature, this is not the experience one anticipates when choosing Four Seasons. Guests do not arrive here to share their private villas with ants, lizards, or cockroaches = especially when there are numerous other accommodations in Mauritius if such compromises are to be expected. Housekeeping standards unquestionably need to be elevated. A clearer understanding is required of why travelers choose Four Seasons in the first place: for assurance, peace of mind, and flawless basics - especially after long international journeys. Front Desk The front desk team had its shining moments. Nabi welcomed us with exceptional warmth and grace, Soovidha, too, was delightful - I still have the umbrella :). These personal touches were appreciated and memorable. Food & Beverage Outstanding - truly exceptional. Words scarcely do justice to the culinary and service excellence we experienced. The chefs and restaurant team brought magic to every meal. A heartfelt thank you to Awadh, Sonam, and Saravana, the three remarkable chefs, and to Govind, Abhay, Victoria, and Akiah for their impeccable hospitality. Even now, we find ourselves fondly reminiscing about the warmth, attentiveness, and sincerity each of you extended to us. Spa & Wellness Regrettably, the spa was a significant let-down. Writing this is not easy, but honesty is essential. The wellness center felt sub-standard and neglected- an unexpected contrast to the Four Seasons name. Several concerns stood out: expired products displayed for retail purchase, ants running around them, and an entrance that resembled a duty-free attar or perfume shop rather than a serene wellness sanctuary. The spa menu lacked both a sense of place and the richness of Mauritian wellness traditions. Most concerning was the lack of transparency: I had specifically asked to see the products prior to a treatment, only to later discover that the ingredients listed in the menu were being substituted because the original products were unavailable. This was communicated to me only after I questioned the authenticity of the treatment in relation to its stated ingredients. That said, Joelle deserves sincere appreciation. She was warm, thoughtful - going so far as to seek me out at breakfast to speak personally. Her generosity, empathy, and assurance that these issues would be addressed for future guests were deeply valued. Having experienced world-class wellness centers across many destinations, including properties outside the luxury tier of Four Seasons - this spa felt overlooked and under-curated, which was particularly disappointing. Closing Note To everyone who went out of their way to make our stay comfortable, thank you. Your readiness to assist, your smiles, and your willingness to resolve issues did not go unnoticed. However, I sincerely hope the bar is raised- particularly in housekeeping, maintenance, and spa operations. Guests travel long distances to arrive here seeking rest, rejuvenation, and ease - not to begin their stay by discovering that the basics are flawed. Proactive checks, thorough room inspections, and renewed attention to wellness standards would go a long way in ensuring future guests experience the Four Seasons as it is meant to be experienced.

Anahita in Persian means, "unspoiled / pristine / pure", and that's exactly what this stay was! Everything about this hotel exuded beautiful design planning and thoughtful little touches. From the no-fuss welcome process, to the luxurious room decor & thoughtful amenities, right down to the details like individual villas with beachfront [or Forest] views, a mini pool, all-day boat rides to Ile aux cerfs beach nearby. The best part though, was the staff. Totally approachable, ever-helpful, prompt and perceptive. The cook at the Indian restaurant was kind enough to create a Thāli (a combo plate meal) just for me and my folks. He prepared well-chosen, delectable stuff that wasn't even on the Menu, and he did this despite my request being a little outside timings of the restaurant. So, that was something truly special. However, the Breakfast experience was a little underwhelming. I felt, it needed a little more 'Mauritius' in it. Especially considering, Mauritius has a strong Indian history & culture in its cuisine. I'd have loved some Dosas / Appams / Idlis / Upma / Poha / Lemon Rice / Dholl Puri and such, but, disappointingly they weren't available. But i am not complaining. The rest of the stay experience more than made up for it. Thoughtful snacks in the rooms, a well-stocked minibar (which to my teetotaller delight, included a Heineken 0.0 (non-alcoholic)! The pricing i felt was a tad over-the-top, i felt, but since i don't holiday often, and also since the services and offerings were top notch in every aspect, i wouldn't complain.
