Anahita World Class Sanctuary is one of the most privileged residential hideaways on earth. Located along a beautiful coastline on the paradise island of Mauritius, this superb selection of private residences has been developed especially for discerning homeowners who are ready to live the life they’ve always wanted in the home of their dreams.


The cascading gem of residential real estate is spread over six kilometres hugging the majestic shoreline between a vast turquoise lagoon, immaculate golf fairways and the bustling village of La Place Belgath. Once complete, Anahita will comprise 320 luxury residences including both villas and apartments, all conceptualised by an elite team of London-based architects and designers who have earned much international praise and awards for the development.


The estate’s new Mauritian style, which blends effortlessly with the environment, merges both indoor and outdoor living. Each freehold property has an exceptional view, whether on the fairways of the golf course, the clear waters of the lagoon or ocean, the roaming mountain range or the natural verdant forest.


In 2002 the government of Mauritius introduced the Integrated Resort Scheme (IRS) for provision of upmarket residential properties, with a view to catering for the multifaceted demands of the economy. The opportunity in the property development sector as provided by the IRS attracted the attention of CIEL Properties Ltd, who began the process of developing Anahita World Class Sanctuary.


The success of the Anahita project can be attributed to the support from the government of Mauritius, as well as the role played by the Board of Investment, the diversified and growing services sector that attracts many foreigners, the creation of an enabling and attractive environment for doing business, and the safe and stable economy.


Interested buyers can select from three, four or five-bedroom villas, each with its own living and dining areas, fully equipped kitchen, large veranda, private pool and garden. Or buy an individual plot of land and construct the home of your dreams, inspired by a set of guidelines. Here you may use an architect of your choice or select from a team of Anahita-endorsed architects and designers. Once you have made Anahita your home, you will experience all kinds of refined luxury and elegance – it’s a lifestyle choice complete with all the extras.


With all kinds of activities on and off site, Anahita offers the most extraordinary full resort-living experience. A selection of customised services awaits you and your family. Meals can be prepared in-villa in the privacy of your kitchen by a professional chef, for instance, or a reservation can be made at a gourmet restaurant in the resort.


Other benefits include the Anahita Wellness Centre, which offers massages under the coconut grove or in the privacy of your residence. There is also a fine selection of boutiques, an incredible infinity pool and all the beautiful beaches close by. Or get down to the fitness centre that boasts a tennis courts and a kids’ club.


Lovers of water sports can indulge in a number of different activities such as kite surfing, water skiing, sailing, boating and fishing. There’s also horse riding, quad biking, nature walks or archery, located on a private and secluded nature reserve 15 minutes by car inland.


A major draw card and highlight of the estate is Anahita’s 18-hole, 72-par golf course designed to USGA standards by South African champion Ernie Els.


“We’re very proud of the golf course that we’ve created here in this beautiful ocean-side setting in Mauritius. It is an exciting project to be involved in, and right from the start we knew this was an amazing opportunity to build something really special,” says Els, looking out over the course, as it winds its way through native trees and across rocky outcrops, offering unforgettable views of the Indian Ocean. “We wanted to make sure this course had all the right ingredients for a memorable day’s golf. We wanted to maximise the impact of this wonderful scenery. We wanted it to be a challenging and varied design that would appeal to players of all abilities. We wanted it to feature classic and innovative design touches to ensure that every hole is distinctive.”



With a number of attractive purchasing options at Anahita as well as the benefit of certain tax incentives and capital appreciation, new homeowners now have the great opportunity of making their dream home a reality. Come live in paradise – Anahita welcomes you!
