View from villa in Mauritius

Mauritius, the pearl of Indian Ocean, with its beautiful white sandy beaches, crystal clear water, lush mountainous landscape and spectacular scenic beauty, attracts holiday homeowners from all over the world.

Amid the beauty of this unspoilt paradise, a rare opportunity to own freehold vacation property in a breathtaking natural sanctuary has arisen. Discover a truly privileged hideaway: Anahita The Resort. Set to become one of the world’s premier resort destinations, Anahita World Class Sanctuary, which opened in 2008, brings together the best of tropical lifestyle and luxury indulgence in one superb residential resort.

The setting is almost unthinkably beautiful. Situated on the island’s pristine east coast, it is the only world-class IRS (Integrated Resort Scheme) property to stretch as far as six uninterrupted kilometres of coastline. This unique haven, located on a stunning 213-hectare site opposite the famous Ile aux Cerfs, is enveloped by a clear blue lagoon, lush indigenous forests and the mountains, as well as a sensational 18-hole designer golf course. It is host to the only Four Seasons Resort in the southern African region.

The deluxe resort will consist of 325 freehold homes designed by international architects WATG, including elegant villas and Four Seasons Private Residences. Each exclusive villa boasts dazzling views, whether of the immaculate fairways, the turquoise waters of the lagoon and ocean, the majestic mountains or the forest.

The premium 2-5 bedroom villas at Anahita capture the island’s blissful elegance in authentic New Mauritian-style architecture, while combining the ultimate in luxury and comfort with seclusion, privacy and natural, untouched beauty. Relish open-air veranda living and private plunge pool, while enjoying superior benefits and comforts, such as a private chef cooking at your home. As well, you can have in-villa services tailored to your needs by a Private Villa Host who can prepare breakfast or arrange your cocktail party.

Mauritius is an increasingly popular destination with golfers. The masterpiece championship golf course at Anahita, designed by South Africa’s famed Ernie Els, boasts an exquisite setting. The world-class course is set against a jaw-dropping background of rocky outcroppings, large native trees and panoramic views of the Bambou Mountains and Indian Ocean.

The Ernie Els Championship Golf Course, built to USGA standards, is a magnificent and challenging 18-hole, par-72 course. With six ocean-side holes affording the most amazing views, and all complemented by The Four Seasons Golf Academy covering every aspect of the game from techniques to equipment, it could be the ultimate golf holiday experience.

Featuring a prestigious hotel, fine dining venues and a first-class spa, Four Seasons Resort Mauritius at Anahita forms an essential part of the incomparable Anahita experience, bringing legendary style and service.

There is a private beach plus double infinity pool, tennis courts, boutiques, childrens’ club, fitness centre and watersports, including sailing, kayaking and jet skiing. In addition there is a PADI-certified diving centre, plus big-game fishing. Domaine de l’Etoile, 15 minutes away, offers quad and mountain biking and horseback riding. There is also an optional rental programme available to residence owners.

Freehold real estate ownership on Mauritius is just beginning. As one of the world’s most desirable locations, Mauritius offers significant attractions for overseas purchasers. Anahita is one of the Mauritian government’s Integrated Resorts Schemes (IRS), which provides freehold property ownership, automatic residency to foreign property owners and their dependants and certain financial benefits.

Anahita offers an exceptional property investment on an island that enjoys a growing reputation as a safe tropical haven, luxury holiday and golf destination. This is elite resort ownership and high living at its finest on the glamorous island of Mauritius.

Price: From USD1.8 million.

The best of Mauritius

Buyer benefits include permanent residency, no inheritance tax, no capital gains, 15% income tax and freehold home ownership

Villas Valriche Mauritius

Mauritius is an exotic mix of French, British, Indian and Creole cultures. No wonder the food is so good and the people so colourful and warm. Regular direct flights, an excellent year round climate, the breathtaking beauty of the island as well as political and economic stability make this island the ideal destination in which to own a home.

Amongst Mauritius real estate, Villas Valriche is truly an outstanding development. It was voted Best Development and Best Golf Development at the Europe & Africa Property Awards 2009 in association with CNBC Arabia. It was also ranked one of the Top 10 Best Luxury Developments in the World by Homes Overseas Magazine, 2009.

Only 40 minutes from the airport, Villas Valriche is set in 210 hectares of lush, tropical landscaped grounds bordering the spectacular Le Golf du Château championship course, overlooking a stunning lagoon and with the picturesque hills of the Valriche Nature Reserve behind. In addition to the existing Peter Matkovich-designed golf course, there are extensive beach, dining, Spa and leisure facilities that are already fully operational.

Owners can choose from 22 variations of elegant plantation-style villas with spectacular sea and golf course views. These luxury villas all have infinity pools, large terraces, air-conditioned bedrooms, state-of-the-art communications and private landscaped gardens.

To provide total peace of mind, there are even bank completion guarantees – although with Phase 1 infrastructure in place, no debt and no bank borrowings and 30 villas due to be handed over to their owners within the next 3 months, it is arguably the best-placed Mauritius property development to deliver on its promises.

Villas Valriche is an approved Integrated Resort Schemes (IRS) development, which means that freehold property owners and their dependants are provided automatic permanent residency, with the added attraction of substantial fiscal benefits including low income tax, no capital gains and no inheritance taxes.

Prices from US$1.1 million.
