Mauritius counts two villa collections managed by a global hotel brand, both on the east coast. Four Seasons Private Residences at Anahita (Beau Champ): renovated 2-3 bedroom resort villas from USD 2.3M sold by RIVEO, plus a resale market of original villas from €1.67M to €4.9M, inside a 213-hectare golf estate with an Ernie Els course, under the IRS scheme. One&Only Private Homes at Le Saint Géran (Pointe de Flacq): a new collection of 52 beachfront villas from about USD 1.74M to USD 13.6M, sold off-plan by the developer under the PDS scheme, on the peninsula of the historic hotel. Choose Four Seasons for an operating resort with a proven rental programme, golf and immediate resale liquidity; choose One&Only for a brand-new beachfront villa on a developer payment plan. Both grant full freehold and the residence permit from USD 375,000.
Where they differ: product, timing, position
Four Seasons Anahita is an existing address. The resort opened in 2008, closed seven months in 2025 for a complete renovation and reopened on 11 December 2025; the villas are resort villas under shingle roofs, from 203 m² to 630 m², on plots of 1,000 to 4,000 m², set between the golf, the mangroves and the lagoon facing Île aux Cerfs. You can buy a renovated villa from RIVEO or an original villa on resale, visit it, and see its rental history. One&Only Private Homes is a new build: 52 villas from 2 to 6 bedrooms on the Saint Géran peninsula, sold off-plan with a payment plan and delivered in phases — you buy a plan and a brand, not yet a house.
Position also differs. Anahita is a full estate: two golf courses, a village, neighbourhoods, an owners' club, and the Four Seasons villas sit inside the resort at its heart. Le Saint Géran is a hotel peninsula: the villas line its beach and lagoon, with the hotel's restaurants, spa and beach club as the daily setting, but no golf on site and a smaller residential community.
Money, rental and exit
Entry price favours One&Only on paper (from about USD 1.74M for a 2-bedroom villa off-plan) against USD 2.3M for a renovated Four Seasons villa; but on resale the Four Seasons market starts at €1.67M, which brings both within the same band for 2 bedrooms. Rental: Four Seasons runs a mandatory pool with 56 nights of owner use and years of operating statements; One&Only announces a rental programme managed by the hotel, with terms disclosed at reservation. Charges: both apply estate or resort charges quoted per villa.
Exit is where the two differ most today. Four Seasons Anahita has an observable resale market — ten villas publicly listed on 9 September 2026 across seven agencies — so pricing and liquidity can be read. One&Only Private Homes has no resale history yet, as deliveries are recent or pending; its liquidity will be established in the coming years. Both are sold freehold to foreigners under an approved scheme (IRS at Anahita, PDS at Saint Géran) and both grant the Mauritian residence permit from USD 375,000. GADAIT advises on both and represents the buyer only.
