On Le Chaland Beach, Anantara Iko Offers Privacy, Space, and a Softer Pace

Tucked away on the Le Chaland Beach running along the southeastern coast of Mauritius, Anantara Iko Mauritius Resort & Villas is a dream coastal vacation framed by forest, lagoon, and the sky.

A mere 15-minute scenic drive from Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport, this untouched corner of the island country brims with crystal-clear water, lush sugarcane fields, and historical landmarks. Here, privacy is the real luxury.

The two and four-bedroom pool villas boast tropical gardens, spacious living areas, private pools, and kitchens for chef-hosted barbecues or in-villa dining. Should you prefer suites, pick the spacious garden or ocean-view suites, each featuring separate living rooms and private balconies. The wider resort offers 170 contemporary rooms, suites, and villas with gorgeous garden or ocean views.

Discover Creole, French, Chinese, and Indian flavours at the resort’s nine dining outlets and bars. Dinner at Sea Fire Salt celebrates produce and precision via seafood-led tasting or sharing menus. Here, pairings can be guided by the sommelier, who can also shortlist bottles in advance for larger tables or intimate celebrations.

There’s even 1884 Wine Cellar where vino is poured in an intimate room. The Designer Dining facilitates bespoke culinary experiences. It can be a chef at the grill for a family celebration, a candlelit course progression by the pool, or a paired dinner that moves from 1884 to the terrace as the evening opens up.

If you wish your island holiday to be centered around holistic wellness instead, there is forest edge yoga followed by a nourishing beach breakfast. Or opt for sophrology sessions, recovery focussed rituals, and a traditional Turkish hammam experience at the Anantara Spa.

Beyond wellness, you can even avail of interactive Mauritian cooking classes at Spice Spoons, spend your days taking up guided reef-friendly snorkelling trips inside the adjacent Blue Bay Marine Park, learning about coral awareness, and going for beach clean-ups and local reforestation programmes. Later, join a catamaran cruise, wander Mahebourg’s market streets, take coastal trails to Pont Nature, or tee off on golf game drives at Avalon Golf Estate.

Anantara Iko Mauritius Resort & Villas is the place for quiet moments. Take casual strolls on the pristine Le Chaland beach, immerse in the local culture, and savour lazy, balmy days under the Mauritian sun.
