Following a seven-month renovation, Four Seasons Resort Mauritius at Anahita reopens completely transformed. Located on the east coast of Mauritius, the resort entrusted its overhaul to two international firms, 1508 London and Elastic Architects, to blur the line between the buildings and the lagoon.
- A major seven-month renovation to transform the property
- A dual architectural signoff led by 1508 London and Elastic Architects
- Enhanced natural immersion in the heart of the east coast of Mauritius
An Architectural Dialogue Reimagined with Mauritian Nature
After seven months of intensive work, the iconic address on the Mauritian east coast reopens its doors, revealing a deeply reimagined aesthetic. The architectural intervention was designed to blur the boundaries between the built structures and the surrounding tropical ecosystem. This comprehensive transformation favors a subtle harmony between the living spaces and the estate’s lush greenery.
The layout highlights raw, noble materials sourced locally, such as volcanic stone and warm wood varieties. The color palette draws direct inspiration from the coastline, featuring sand tones and botanical shades that echo the lagoon landscape.

The Creative Synergy of Two Exceptional Studios
To undertake this comprehensive overhaul, the property brought together two complementary international experts. British firm 1508 London was tasked with the interior design of the villas, residences, and the Oseyan spa, breathing a refined and warm residential spirit into them. Meanwhile, the teams at Elastic Architects reimagined the communal living areas and restaurant design.
Open structures encourage a fluid flow of air and light, offering direct perspectives of exotic gardens or turquoise waters from every living room and terrace.
A Reimagined Wellness and Culinary Experience
Beyond the updated decor, the guest experience is enhanced by modernized dining concepts and a redesigned wellness path. Set over the peaceful waters of the lagoon, the Oseyan spa reaffirms its role as a holistic sanctuary in a refined setting dominated by natural materials. The dining venues now offer immersive atmospheres rooted in local culture.
This successful transformation allows the property to redefine the standards of high-end tropical luxury in the Indian Ocean.
Our take
A seven-month closure for a complete overhaul is a bold move in a destination where five-star competition is fierce. The decision to employ two distinct design signatures, one for private spaces (villas, residences, Oseyan spa) and the other for communal areas, avoids the trap of a generic resort and gives the property two complementary styles. Finally, the use of volcanic stone and local timber anchors the address in its island setting rather than relying on an interchangeable tropical aesthetic. Reservations can be made on the official website of Four Seasons Resort Mauritius at Anahita.
