Three iconic resorts for ultimate luxury
The Indian Ocean is a paradise renowned for its turquoise waters, pristine beaches, and some of the world’s most luxurious escapes. Among these jewels, three resorts stand out for their unparalleled offerings, innovative designs, and commitment to creating unforgettable experiences.
The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands
A Symphony of Elegance and Discovery
Nestled in the North Malé Atoll, The Ritz-Carlton Maldives at Fari Islands redefines island luxury. Accessible by a scenic 45-minute speedboat or a 10-minute seaplane ride from Malé, this resort combines modern architectural brilliance with the serene beauty of the Maldives.
Designed by Kerry Hill Architects, the 100 villas – spread across overwater and beachfront locations – offer private infinity pools, sun decks, and a lavish collection of personalised amenities.
The exclusive Ritz-Carlton Estate sets the bar even higher with its expansive 1,500-square-metre layout and ultra luxury furnishings.
The resort features seven exquisite dining venues, including the Eau Bar, which serves sustainable seafood paired with organic cocktails, and the intimate Summer Pavilion specialising in Cantonese cuisine.
Guests can unwind with luxurious treatments by Bamford at the ring-shaped Ritz-Carlton Spa or embark on eco-discovery programmes with Jean-Michel Cousteau’s Ambassadors of the Environment.
The resort also offers activities ranging from aerial yoga to water sports, ensuring every moment is tailored to indulgence and adventure.
Four Seasons Resort Mauritius at Anahita
Tropical Tranquility and Vibrant Experiences
Set against the stunning backdrop of the Bambou Mountain on Mauritius’s east coast, the Four Seasons Resort Mauritius at Anahita offers a blend of natural beauty and sophisticated comfort.
The sprawling 64-acre resort features 133 villas and residences, ranging from one to five bedrooms, each with private pools, thatched roofs, and lush tropical surroundings.
The resort boasts a stunning 11-acre private island with three secluded beaches and an idyllic retreat with an exclusive beach at Ile aux Cerfs.
The resort offers five distinct restaurants and a lagoon-front bar. Culinary experiences include everything from Mediterranean flavours at Bambou to Asian-inspired delicacies at Umi.Zaka, and Indian delights at Chatkar.
Guests can enjoy world-class golfing at two championship courses—complimentary for resort’s guests—and indulge in the award-winning spa that floats serenely above the lagoon.
With family-friendly facilities such as the Hobbit Village Kids’ Club and a wide range of activities for teens, as well as romantic experiences for couples, this resort is designed to meet the needs of all travellers.
North Island, Seychelles
Barefoot Luxury in a Pristine Sanctuary
For those seeking privacy in harmony with the environment, North Island in the Seychelles offers a sanctuary of laid-back elegance. Located 30 kilometres from Mahé, this intimate island features just 11 handcrafted villas designed using locally sourced materials.
Each villa has two bedrooms: a main bedroom and a second bedroom, which is versatile and can be transformed into a cosy lounge when the villa is occupied by one or two guests.
All villas boast expansive interiors, private plunge pools, and panoramic views of the turquoise ocean.
The Island Piazza is the natural focal point of the island, where elegant buildings cluster around a magnificent Indian almond tree. Further up the mountain is a 45m-long pool that overlooks the ocean, providing the perfect spot to take in the stunning horizon views.
North Island is renowned for its environmental initiatives, including the “Noah’s Ark” project, which reintroduces endangered species to the island.
Guests can participate in guided snorkelling or scuba diving to explore the rich marine biodiversity or enjoy serene treatments at the island spa overlooking the azure waters.
