1508 London has revealed a first look at the refurbished villas and residences for Four Seasons Resort Mauritius at Anahita.
The design firm was appointed to create an immersive and sensory environment for guests by establishing a seamless connection between the interiors and the island’s natural landscape and rich culture. Located on the east coast of Mauritius, between turquoise lagoons, lush tropical vegetation and the majestic Bambou Mountain, the resort brings to life a natural blend of beach elegance and cultural authenticity.
The design approach is a fusion of luxury and nature, celebrating the lush landscapes, vibrant culture, and energy of Mauritius. The spaces were envisioned as a ‘living canvas’, integrating the island’s raw beauty, by blending luxury with functionality, emphasising the harmony between the structure and the natural surroundings while honouring the unique culture, identity and location of the resort.
The light-toned, down-to-earth colours, materials and natural finishes, reflect the beauty of the beach and surrounding environment, creating a sense of connection to nature. At the same time, vibrant colours and patterns inspired by the colourful culture and heritage of Mauritius, breathe energy into the areas, in addition to handcrafted elements that emphasise the ties with local traditions and craftsmanship. Each space invites guests to connect with their surroundings, creating an immersive experience defined by subtle, thoughtful details and a profound sense of place.
“1508 London is proud to have reimagined the Four Seasons Resort Mauritius at Anahita to embody a harmonious fusion of the timeless luxury synonymous with the Four Seasons brand and the enchanting, vibrant landscape of Mauritius,” comments Anthony Taylor, Design Principal at 1508 London. “The refurbishment focuses on seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor spaces, utilising light-toned materials and natural finishes that echo the island’s coastal beauty.
“Central to the design is the concept of ‘Understated Beach Elegance’, where tactile and sensory experiences take precedence. We’ve replaced the previous dark and functional layouts with a lighter, more open design, incorporating framed walls, rich wood details, pops of colour and artworks inspired by the ‘living canvas’ of Mauritius. This approach establishes a cohesive visual identity across every room and veranda, inviting guests to immerse themselves in the beauty of their surroundings.”
