The Shanti Ananda is located at Riviere des Galets, Chemin Grenier on the southern coast of Mauritius and is the tropical Indian Ocean sister establishment of the original in the Himalayas, Ananda. It was the first Mauritian destination spa resort. The setting benefits from being surrounded by verdant hills, turquoise waters and white sand beaches, together with the resort’s 36 acres of landscaped tropical water gardens create an intimate, tranquil atmosphere.


	Accommodation comprises Junior Suites with ocean views, four units to a villa, two on the ground known as Beach Front with outdoor showers and two on the first floor; all with large balconies and private courtyard. There is a separate dressing room with a walk-in wardrobe and dressing table. Luxury Villas and Suites have heated private swimming pools and dining salas with private gardens and courtyards, the latter also have airy living rooms.

A two-bedroom variation would be ideal for a family or friends traveling together and additionally has a jacuzzi. The exclusive Presidential incorporates all of the above with a third bedroom, spiced baths, broader courtyards and landscaped gardens in a capacious 800 square metres while a personal butler will attend.

The Spa features an extensive range of Ayurvedic and an array of other treatments informed by the Hindu self-realisation philosophy of Vedanta in a 70,000 square foot spa located on a landscaped island centred on an alluring tea pavilion.

The elaborate menu of body and beauty treatments integrate traditional Indian teachings of the 5,000 year-old Ayruveda tradition and Yoga combined with Greek seawater Thalassotherapy and is delivered in twenty-five treatment rooms with dedicated areas for each discipline laid out around landscaped water gardens. Watsu (water shiatsu) finger-based massage treatments are offered in a salt-water pool. Consultants will prepare bespoke programmes themed as wellness and nurturing packages. Moreover, there are nutritionists and personal trainers available to give holistic guidance on diet and lifestyle. The following facilities are offered: a couples spa therapy suite, scrub and hydrotherapy rooms, Yoga pavilions, Oriental spa treatments, beauty salon specialising in facials, manicure and pedicure, anti-aging, meditation rooms, spa aromatherapy, body wraps, Swedish and therapeutic massage, hot stone, Thai, Hawaiian, Japanese, Javanese, Balinese, Chinese rituals, Tai-Chi-Chuan and reflexology.

The Yogi ‘havan’ ceremony is noteworthy: an ancient Indian fire ritual performed on the beach while visiting disciplinary masters hold special classes. Otherwise, facilities include an infinity rim-flow pool overlooking the ocean, tennis courts, heated lap pool and glass gymnasium while activities extend to golf on an 18 hole, par 72 championship course, water sports such as sub scooters and parasailing to zip line wire trailing and trekking.

In terms of cuisine, menus are customised to personal tastes as served in the Pebbles and Da Maurizio Restaurants and Red Ginger lounge bar. Guests may want to avail themselves of specific shopping trips and cooking classes. A Children’s Club set in its own grounds with a toddlers’ pool offers numerous activities such as arts and crafts with toys and games.

The resort has considerable romantic appeal to honeymooners. There is an emphasis on catering with gourmet candlelit and private beach dining in addition to spa therapies tailored for couples. From the Sanskrit, shanti means ‘supreme peace’ while ananda translates as ‘infinite bliss.’
