In keeping with the spirit of the Resort, the Spa at Four Seasons Resort Mauritius at Anahita is designed as a contemporary, natural retreat with the emphasis on the traditions of Mauritian culture. Located on the secluded, southern edge of Ile aux Chats, the over-water spa offers regionally inspired rituals and therapies that reflect the island’s multicultural heritage.

The Spa features twelve over-water treatment rooms, including eight for couples, named after the islets visible from the Resort. The stilted treatment rooms back onto mature, wild mangroves with wide sliding doors that open to immerse guests in the sights and sounds of the surrounding nature. Each couples’ treatment room has its own private steam room and semi-outdoor shower. In addition, two of the couples’ suites also have private saunas and wet areas for Vichy treatments.

Treatments on offer are holistic addressing the body, mind and spirit and aim to introduce guests to all different levels of Mauritian culture. Therapies and rituals combine the island’s strong healing traditions with treatments inspired by its African, Indian, Chinese and European roots. Many of the ingredients used come from the local environment, including vanilla, ylang ylang, volcanic basalt rock, sugar, molasses and coconut.

The Spa’s signature treatment, the Sugar Cane Therapy Massage, incorporates sugarcane sticks for a deep and relaxing massage a first for the island of Mauritius. Traditional Mauritian music heightens the sensory experience of some of the rituals with the birds in the tropical canopy above providing their own accompaniment.

In keeping with the spa’s holistic intent, yoga is offered every morning and a juice bar features endless combinations for cleansing, energising and refreshment. The adjacent Salon offers manicures, pedicures, facials and hairstyling. There is also a boutique stocked with the beauty and wellness products used in the Spa, for guests who want to continue their pampering and healing experience back home.
