Mauritian resort group Sunlife has launched the Anahita Private Villa Collection, a portfolio of luxury villas in Mauritius that combines the privacy of a standalone home with the services and facilities of a five star resort. The multi-bedroom properties sit within the Anahita estate on the island’s east coast and can now be reserved directly through a dedicated online booking platform.

For UK business travellers, the launch adds a flexible new option for incentive trips, senior leadership retreats and extended bleisure stays in one of the long-haul market’s most reliable winter sun destinations. Rather than booking a block of hotel rooms, a company or group can take an entire villa, giving colleagues private space to work and meet alongside resort-grade dining, wellness and leisure facilities.

What the Anahita Private Villa Collection includes

Each villa in the collection has been designed with generous indoor and outdoor living areas, a private swimming pool, landscaped tropical gardens and contemporary architecture. Sunlife says the properties are aimed at families, groups of friends and bespoke luxury escapes, and are equally suited to longer stays, a format that will interest remote workers and executives adding leave to a business trip.

Practical details have been built around arriving guests. Breakfast, lunch and dinner can be pre-booked before travel, and each booking comes with tailored concierge services, useful for groups juggling meetings, tee times and airport transfers on a single itinerary.

Villa guests also receive privileged access to the facilities of The Bay Club at Anahita. These include the Ernie Els Championship Golf Course, the Bernhard Langer designed Ile aux Cerfs Golf Club, the private beach on Ile aux Cerfs, a selection of restaurants and bars, GLOW Spa and Wellness by Sunlife, and a range of sports and leisure activities. For organisers of golf-led incentive travel, two championship courses attached to a single estate is a significant draw.

Direct online booking for the first time

Sunlife says the collection’s dedicated booking platform is the only official website in Mauritius offering online reservations for this premium portfolio. That matters for travel bookers and executive assistants, who can now secure multi-bedroom villas, pre-arrange dining and confirm concierge support in one place rather than negotiating through third parties.

“We are delighted to introduce the Anahita Private Villa Collection, offering guests a new way to experience luxury in Mauritius,” said Sunlife’s Ramesh Jeenarain. “This collection combines the exclusivity of a private home with the exceptional facilities, personalised service and unique experiences that define Sunlife.”

The launch marks another step in Sunlife’s stated ambition to offer hospitality that combines luxury, authenticity and flexibility, whether guests are travelling for a family celebration, a golf escape or an exclusive tropical retreat.

Why luxury villas in Mauritius suit business travellers

Mauritius has quietly become one of the more practical long-haul choices for UK travellers mixing work and leisure. Direct flights from London, a time zone just three or four hours ahead of the UK and year-round warmth make it well suited to combining business travel with leisure without the jet lag penalty of destinations further east.

The villa launch also reflects growing investor confidence in the island’s high-end accommodation market, which has seen new luxury villa developments on the west coast alongside established resort brands. For those planning ahead, Mauritius regularly features among the best options for a last-minute winter sun break, and the new collection gives groups a private-villa route into that market with resort infrastructure already in place.
