Beach at Four Seasons Resort Mauritius at Anahita

The Four Seasons Resort Mauritius at Anahita presents a mixed beach experience. The beach directly in front of the hotel consists primarily of pebbles and stones rather than natural sand, which reviewers consistently note detracts from its visual appeal and comfort. The hotel mitigates this by providing water shoes to guests, a practical solution that acknowledges the limitation. What distinguishes this property is privileged access to Île aux Cerfs, a nearby island accessible by boat, where the beach is genuinely beautiful and appears to meet expectations for a luxury tropical resort. This creates a two-tier beach experience: the main property beach is functional but not aesthetically compelling, while the accessible island beach delivers the scenic appeal typically associated with a high-end Mauritius resort. Whether this arrangement satisfies guests depends heavily on whether they view the island beach as a worthwhile alternative or see the primary beach as a significant shortcoming.
