Alteo and Sunlife are pleased to announce that, as from 1st July 2025, Sunlife has been appointed as the new management partner for Anahita Golf & Spa Resort and Anahita Golf, located on the east coast of Mauritius. This agreement marks a strategic step in the ongoing development of Anahita as a leading lifestyle and golf destination in the Indian Ocean and reflects the shared vision of both organisations to further enhance the destination’s local and international standing.

For over 15 years, Anahita has been a flagship project for Alteo, representing its long-term commitment to sustainable and integrated development in the region. Anahita embodies Alteo’s vision of “Making the East an Everlasting Place to Grow”, where lifestyle, leisure and local heritage coexist in harmony. The collaboration with Sunlife thus brings renewed energy to the destination, combining Sunlife’s operational excellence, regional partnerships and hospitality expertise to support Anahita’s future ambitions.

François Eynaud, CEO of Sunlife, stated: “We are proud to welcome Anahita into the Sunlife portfolio. This marks a key milestone in our growth strategy and reflects our ambition to offer travellers and residents greater choice in how they experience Mauritius. Our mission remains — to ‘Radiate the Magic of Mauritius’ through thoughtful service, authentic moments, and innovative hospitality.”

Fabien de Marassé Enouf, CEO of Alteo added: “Anahita has always been a flagship development for us. This partnership with Sunlife ensures the continued growth and international recognition of the destination while preserving its core values and providing fresh momentum for the future.”

Since its opening, Anahita Golf & Spa Resort has built a strong reputation as one of Mauritius’ leading integrated hospitality destinations, offering a  combination of residential, resort, and golf experiences in one unique setting. The property, under the leadership of General Manager Christophe Ramdiane, currently includes:

• A luxury resort with spacious suites and villas (2 to 5 bedrooms), focused on privacy and
  personalised service
• A wide range of leisure and wellness amenities including a marina, nature trails, spa, and water sports
• Direct access to Île aux Cerfs Leisure Island & Golf Club, enhancing the destination’s appeal

Anahita Golf, under the direction of General Manager Tristan Freslon, is home to:

• An 18-hole championship golf course designed by Ernie Els, offering panoramic views of the lagoon and coastline
• Practice facilities, golf academy, and clubhouse services
• Direct access to Île aux Cerfs Golf Club, creating a unique dual-golf experience

With its distinctive blend of resort hospitality, golf excellence, and long-stay residential living, Anahita aligns strongly with Sunlife’s ambition to offer a broader, more diverse range of experiences to guests visiting Mauritius. As a lifestyle destination, Anahita complements the Sunlife group’s existing portfolio, which includes Sugar Beach, La Pirogue, Long Beach, and Ambre, each with its own identity and appeal whilst also creating strong synergies with key stakeholders in the region (Four Seasons, Ile aux Cerfs, Shangri-La Le Touessrok Resort) offering guests a new market-defining lifestyle and sports destination. The operational and marketing golf synergies with Ile aux Cerf Golf Club will enhance this unique golf destination.

Alteo and Sunlife are working closely together to ensure a smooth transition for team members, homeowners, guests, and partners. A five-year  development roadmap is being finalised, with planned investments to upgrade infrastructure and enhance amenities, further strengthening Anahita’s position as a world-class destination.

Both Alteo and Sunlife remain committed to supporting the sustainable development of the East, preserving Anahita’s unique sense of place, and contributing to a resilient and diversified Mauritian economy.
