Cheking in: Anahita Golf and SPA Resort
If I have to describe Mauritius in 3 sentences, these would be: heavenly beaches, crystal-clear water with the most colorful fishes and lush vegetation. It has already passed 4 days since we got back from this dreamy island. We spent our holiday in Mauritius both on the West Coast and on the East Coast, where we stayed at Anahita Golf and Spa Resort.
Anahita Golf and Spa Resort is a 213 hectares resort on the East Coast of Mauritius, this area being well known for its spectacular beaches. Anahita is also one of the best five resorts on the island, offering everything you could wish for a dreamy and romantic escape: pools and private beaches, golf courses, SPA, water sports and gourmand culinary experience. All in a luxury-tropical Mauritian vegetation. I believe that a stay at Anahita Mauritius is an experience to have at least once in a lifetime: the romance of the sunsets spent in a place which gathered all the beauty of the island, the gourmet culinary experience or the cosy living apartments.
Once arrived there, we were welcomed by a friendly staff, then we were shown the facilities and we were led to our apartment. To have an idea for how big the resort is, from our apartment to the reception it was an approx. ten minutes walk. But there are shuttle cars which lead us from the restaurant to the apartment or to any other location within the resort. Although, walking alongside the tropical vegetation is also very pleasant. Our Junior Suite apartment was spacious with an attractive interior, having all the attributes to give us a memorable stay. The view from our apartment was towards one of the resort’s pools, where we spent a part of our first day at Anahita. Although I love the beach, sometimes nothing compares with a pool surrounded by palm trees and lush vegetation and we wanted to enjoy something we found only here.
There is a main pool as well, near the restaurants area, surrounded by the palm trees and overlooking the ocean, but also the Beach Resort and a private beach located on the Île aux Cerfs. Every pool is equipped with towels, so don’t worry if you forget your own towel in the apartment.

There are also a shopping area with many charming boutiques selling local products, souvenirs and much more.

The culinary experience
The culinary experience at Anahita is a must try for gourmets, there are five restaurants and one bar, with local and international specialties, served à la carte or live cooking, all in a pleasant and exquisite interiors.
The breakfast is served at Origine Restaurant, which is the main restaurant of the resort. I loved the abundance of tropical fruits and natural juices, the breakfast there was all I needed for a perfect start of the day. For the dinner we experienced live cooking, from all the specialties served, we choose Mauritian food since we wanted to experience the island to the fullest. Among the local specialties which we tried during the dinner, my favorite were palm tree heart and octopus salad with lemon pickles as starters and grilled seafood as main course. Of course the dessert was delicious as well.
There were also a Sega Show, which is a traditional dance, part of Mauritian culture, being the local expression for enjoying life.
Boat ride to Île aux Cerfs
Île aux Cerfs, the Paradise Island how it is called, is accessible by boat shuttle directly from the resort. The private beach of Anahita on Ile aux Cerfs is pure heaven: crystal clear water, sandy beach and lush vegetation which are everyone island dream. My favorite activity to do in Mauritius was spending a day on this island, “landed in Paradise” was my first feeling since I arrived there.
From the moment we arrived to the moment we left we felt amazing, the experience of Anahita wouldn’t be the same without its friendly staff. I hope to return one day.
