Anantara Iko Mauritius Resort & Villas

Ile aux Aigrettes is an islet off the south-east coast of Mauritius. It functions as a nature reserve and a scientific research station. It is also a popular visitors attraction - both for tourists and for Mauritians.

The Sacred Lake, also known as Ganga Talao, represents the mighty Ganges river in India. You will find it hidden in the southwest mountains, surrounded by colorful temples and Hindu gods. Ganga Talao attracts a lot of people to Mauritius. Many people visit the site to pray, meditate, play with local monkeys or simply to walk by the lake and enjoy the beautiful surrounding view.

It is nestled in the peaceful village of Cluny. There, you’ll find no skyscraper but infinite patches of sugarcane fields and lush forest. We’re grateful that Mauritius still hides such little treasures! Throughout recent years, the village of Cluny has seen several tourists around; stopping by locals to question “Do you know the way to Eau Bleue Waterfall?”… Depending on your language, the local might be able to help you, as long as he/she understands “Eau Bleue” then you are definitely sorted. The waterfall originates from the nearby river and comes out on three different levels of the terrain (although the main waterfall is of interest to most of the visitors). All three waterfalls at Eau Bleue are spectacular as you’ll relish on the azure blue color of the pond

Avalon is an open, rolling layout designed by Peter Matkovich that is surrounded on all sides by breath-taking views. To the south is the ocean, where early starters can catch the rising sun as they start their game. A peek in the opposite direction provides a view of the majestic mountains that surround Grand Bassin – the largest natural lake in Mauritius, which was created by a now-extinct volcano. The elevated nature of the course means that low clouds and cooler, breezy conditions are often to be expected. This was incorporated into the course’s design, with Matkovich creating a perfect balance of holes playing both with and against prevailing winds. Very few trees line the course, adding to its feeling of openness and playability, while numerous Tree ferns supplement the local flora and add a soft theme to the unique layout.
