Part of the Anahita Wilderness Sanctuary which borders one of the country’s largest lagoons, Four Seasons extends from the mainland over wooden bridges to its own private island (the top residences at the resort can be found here).

Public areas are flanked by thatched pavilions that open into the Mauritian warmth, while at night, strategically lit pathways give the resort an ethereal atmosphere.

When not busy on a tropical treasure hunt or taking part in regatta sailing, you’ll likely find children in the Lord of the Rings-inspired kids’ club Hobbit Village.

A place of thatched roofs and Hobbit height furnishings where they are encouraged to express themselves in the mini amphitheatre and discover new skills and confidence as a pâtissier in the bakery. This is where they go to learn about their newfound surroundings and most importantly, themselves.
