On the east coast of Mauritius, lapped by turquoise waters perfect for water sports, this relaxing Resort is filled with lush greenery and dramatic views everywhere you turn. Each stylish villa and residence features its own private garden and pool – just like the home for the Resort’s resident giant tortoises. After a day exploring the Indian Ocean or playing unlimited golf at both the Ernie Els-designed course and Bernhard Langer signature course, unwind at the award-winning Spa and raise a glass at one of the exciting dining venues. Mauritius is teeming with opportunities for your next day’s adventures.

Four pools include a tiered infinity pool on sheltered Bambou Beach and a 25-metre lap pool (where endemic Mauritian fruit bats swoop to feast on fruit trees at dusk). The Four Seasons’ focus on unique high-end experiences is reflected in the activities on offer, from boxing lessons from an ex-Mauritian champion at the fitness centre to daily snorkelling in Eau Bleu, a translucent stretch of turquoise teeming with tropical fish, accompanied by a WiseOceans guide. 

Exceptional dining is offered in four restaurants. On the waterfront, Aquapazza, where the Sicilian chef’s signature dishes include linguine ai ricci di mare with local sea urchin, is one of the best contemporary Italian restaurants on the island. Modern French bistro, Beau Champ, offers culinary experiences from a Chef’s table to a wine pairing dinner on Saturdays (with 500-plus wines), as well as a sumptuous breakfast buffet that includes the likes of crêpes and waffles and international fare (à la carte options are also available) on its overwater deck, overlooking a live aquarium.
