Own a luxurious island home on Mauritius
- Exclusive Anahita Resort Announces: L’Adamante -

 

Mauritius – Owning your dream home in the heart of the Indian Ocean can become a reality with the release of L’Adamante - the first offering available at the luxurious Mauritian residential resort, Anahita. Become a part of the world’s most beautiful and exclusive island hideaway, L’Adamante, which begins sales to a limited number of overseas residents from 21 June 2006.

 

Anahita occupies a 213 hectare swathe of land, stretching for 6km along the island’s eastern coastline – a stunning natural site lush with vegetation, offering incredible views of languid volcanoes and majestic mountain peaks. “Anahita is the realisation of my vision to create one of the world’s most beautiful residential hideaways, said  Nicolas Vaudin of Ciel Properties’ developing Anahita. “Our incredible homeland offers the ultimate surroundings - a touch of luxury necessary to ensure every second spent at home on the island is perfect. It offers a taste of the real Mauritius for families to share for generations to come and will be one of the most sought after addresses on the planet.”

 

L’Adamante hugs the shoreline at the heart of this estate, a name inspired by ‘Adamantine’, a brilliant lustre of diamonds, and taking its origin from the Latin ‘Antis’ or ‘magnet’, depicting a close community. “The spacious homes are harmoniously arranged to blend perfectly into nature, carefully preserving the site’s natural beauty,” Nicolas continued. Only 70 families will be able to call these stunning residences home, each one serviced by a six star concierge not only available while on the island, but accessible from any corner of the globe.

At L’Adamante, anything is possible. From fishing on the black rocks to trekking in lush forest, kite surfing on the coral barrier reef or visiting Port-Louis to revel in the buzz of the Indian Ocean’s oldest racetrack. Within easy walking distance of the luxurious residences is the hub of Anahita, La Place Belgath, a bustling Mauritian marketplace reached by a calm lagoon promenade. Other nearby amenities planned include a future Four Seasons Resort, spa, gourmet destination restaurant, selection of boutiques, incredible infinity pool, fitness centre with tennis courts, kids club and an 18 hole championship golf course designed by Ernie Els, making the most of the spectacular terrain.

 

L’Adamante’s design deliberately entwines with the outdoors, immersing residents in Anahita’s splendid natural setting. Each two and three level building embodies the ‘New Mauritian’ style – contemporary yet evocative of island tradition, capturing the essence of the island experience. Soothing colours and textures create a sleek, informal elegance using natural materials including solid local timber and indigenous lava stone. Light, airy rooms extend on to a large veranda facing the ocean and featuring a relaxing plunge pool. Every whim is catered for – from gourmet fitted kitchens to luxurious bath tubs with views to the lagoon, golf course or distant mountains. The surrounding tropical gardens offer direct access to the lagoon promenade, with the deep blue expanse so close that it feels part of the immediate grounds.

 

L’Adamante, Anahita’s first residence, will be available for purchase in June 2006 and it is anticipated owners will be able to move into their tropical island home from December 2007 when the properties will be completed. Pricing is still to be finalised, however it is anticipated that the residences will start from US $800,000 For more information regarding Anahita please visit www.anahitamauritius.com or call +230 202 2250.
