Anelia Villas & Spa

A short distance from its sister property, Anelia Villas & Spa offers a more private residential experience for guests who prefer the sense of having their own home in Mauritius rather than a hotel room. The villas — ranging from one to three bedrooms — are arranged in a garden village with private pools, outdoor dining terraces, and kitchenettes stocked each morning with fresh tropical fruit, local bread, and coffee. The architectural style is contemporary Mauritian: wide verandas, louvred shutters, natural stone floors, and ceiling fans that make air conditioning feel almost unnecessary. Guests share access to the spa and beach facilities with the adjacent resort, but the villa compound has its own quiet: no corridors, no lobby foot traffic, just birdsong and the sound of water from your own pool. The location near Mont Choisy puts you on a beach that stretches south toward the wetlands of Rivière du Rempart, a favourite of early-morning joggers and reef fishermen. The spa treatment menu is identical to the main Anelia property, with the honey and vanilla wrap and deep-tissue lomi lomi massage among the most-requested. Anelia Villas suits extended-stay guests — a week or two who want to cook sometimes, swim on their own schedule, and feel genuinely settled rather than perpetually checked-in. The combination of independence and hotel services, including daily housekeeping and a concierge, is neatly balanced.
