Whether your time at Anahita is for yourself, you and your partner or the extended family, there will be accommodation to make your stay special. Villas to suites to suit your every need.
Our hotel rooms were modern in its straight line appearance and decorated in whites and neutral colours made for a relaxing stay, and importantly a cool relaxing place to get away from the intensity of the sunshine, when needed. There was an efficient buggy transfer service from your room to the main area where restaurants, bars and shops were located.
You could dine in the clubhouse as it overlooks the 18th, as we did for lunch. But for dinner we were treated to a fish buffet in the Origins restaurant, Being a buffet, of course there was something for everyone. Rainbow displays, of pretty much everything to get you salivating. Origins is the same restaurant we dined in for breakfast, with its cool ocean side tables.
The golf
A nice big easy start as the course takes you away from the clubhouse inland until thrusting you onto hole 4, a Par 5 377/517 meter hole that tantalises as each shot gets closer to the green before easing you seaward and back into the tropical ocean blue scenes Mauritius is best known for.
The course had undergone its maintenance and therefore the cut and scarified grass was left to dry and go brown just off the fairway, sadly this did give it a shabby appearance, but digging beyond that temporary facade, it was it really good condition. Tining, aerating and cutting of the grass is just one of those things - which every golfer would rather see than not.
Hole nine was in interesting nugget of a golf hole, with its snaking man-made water trench dissecting the fairway as it wiggled along almost the length of this par 4. At some stage it comes into play. But you can chose when that might be by going either left, right or straight off the tee.
Two loops of nine with a welcome half way drinks station splits up the course nicely.
Hole 14 was another one of interest. As playing in the Cotswolds, there was a wall running almost the length of the bottom part of the fairway. It could come into play and again a hole that gave you choices, depending on your ability. This par 4, SI8 319/419 meter hole is one to think about.
The par 3 hole 17 86/144 metres and the photo opportunity all instagramer’s would love. Huge Hollywood style letters to stand by as you snap away at yourself posing in front of this wonderful backdrop.
Closing on 18, like many with a wide fairway this had a sight dog leg right as it neared the clubhouse and skipped along the waters edge as a nice gentle par 5 closing hole.
Anahita is in a lovely location on the East side of Mauritius, a place for all, a place for seclusion or a place to party.
