The Four Seasons Mauritius Gets a Seriously Decadent Makeover

Your vacation should look better than your living room.

Mauritius calling! That mythical place travel influencers whisper about while casually sipping cocktails under palm trees that conveniently match their nail polish. But even paradise, it seems, occasionally needs a facelift. Enter: the “extensive enhancement project” (a posh way of saying “we made everything prettier”) at the Four Seasons Resort Mauritius at Anahita. After 16 glorious years of five-star islanding, the resort has decided it’s time to up the ante — and call in the big design guns. London-based studio 1508 London was tasked with turning this tropical icon into a “living canvas.” Yes, you heard that right. Your Instagram stories are about to get a lot more artistic.

So, what’s new? Think less “generic beach chic,” more “Understated Beach Elegance” (translation: it’s still expensive, but now with more natural fibres and fewer throw pillows). The designers have blended light-toned materials, rich wood details, and the kind of soothing colour palette that screams, “I do yoga on the veranda every morning,” even if you’ve just been inhaling room service pancakes.

The villas and residence rentals are now an immersive experience — or, as we like to say, a masterclass in making your actual home feel wildly inadequate. There’s an emphasis on Mauritian craftsmanship, local textures, and an “outside-in” vibe that makes you feel one with nature, without having to actually, you know, camp. According to Martin Dell, the resort’s General Manager and resident visionary of tropical refinement: “There are many stories to be told and many memories to be made here.” Translation? We’ve made the place so gorgeous, even your in-laws will be impressed.

And designer Anthony Taylor of 1508 London is no less poetic, describing the revamp as a balance between “timeless luxury” and “coastal beauty.” (We assume he said this while reclining on an artisanally handwoven lounger, casually sipping a coconut.)

The resort plans to fling open its perfectly curated doors again in early November, just in time for those of us who believe winter is something to flee, not endure. Bottom line: If you like your villas sun-drenched, your interiors tastefully tropical, and your vacations filled with subtle design flexes, the reimagined Four Seasons Mauritius at Anahita might just be your new spiritual home. Just don’t forget to book early — beauty like this doesn’t stay secret for long.
