PEACE AND BLISS

In Sanskrit, the words Shanti and Ananda mean peace and bliss, and this exciting new spa venture by the Ananda group offers just that. Set in 35 acres of tropical gardens, surrounded by tree- covered hills and looking out towards enticing coral reefs, this destination spa on the south coast of Mauritius is already garnering high praise.

THE SHANTI ANANDA EXPERIENCE

This is a holiday with a difference. The Shanti Ananda experience encompasses not only physical rejuvenation but also a revitalisation of the senses using traditional Indian therapies drawn from Ayurvedic and yogic traditions. In a 50,000-square-feet spa surrounded by tropical forest and calming waters, experienced therapists offer holistic programmes for mind and body.

OCEAN VIEWS

Spacious suites and villas on the beachfront offer spectacular ocean views from private balconies, as well as large private courtyards and outdoor showers. Inside, tropical woods and island styling give the rooms a luxurious elegance. There are separate dressing rooms and large bathrooms, while the Luxury Villas have their own private swimming pool and garden.
