Comprised of 28 luxury mountain-side villas and a residents' club on a 10-hectare (25-acre) site, the resort's villas will each have generous living areas, en-suite bedrooms, and an infinity pool. The villas will be set on 2,000- to 4,000-square-meter plots to give owners a sense of seclusion. The living spaces have been designed with a strong connection to the outdoor decks and pool, while every room will have an unobstructed view of the ocean. Living rooms will open directly onto private pools; the breeze flowing over the infinity pool will be one of many passive sustainability options used to cool the interior spaces. The residents’ club will provide 24-hour concierge services and will house a lounge, restaurant, gym, spa, lap pool, events lawn and yoga pavilion. Double-height spaces will create a dramatic entrance with views out to the Indian Ocean

CHALLENGE The challenge was to design villas on the steep Tamarin Mountain that would blend into the site allowing for breathtaking views of the ocean from each room. Care needed to be taken to limit the impact on the environment and create tropical elegant villas that embodied Mauritian living.

SOLUTION WATG used a design approach that enhances the beauty of the site by creating architecture that is sympathetic to its surroundings and follows the site's natural contours. The architectural style embodies the essence of Mauritian living with a contemporary design that incorporates the use of traditional materials including local stone, slate and wood. The walls around the villas are designed with black lava rock indigenous to the region.

SIZE 26 acres; 26 villas
