On the East Coast, where the lagoon unfolds its palette of blues under the breeze, a new destination is taking flight. Anahita Golf & Spa Resort becomes The Bay Club at Anahita — a transformation that goes far beyond a simple name change. The property embraces a coastal-driven philosophy: a freer, more fluid, more contemporary way of living by the sea. Here, luxury follows the rhythm of the waves, the art of slow living sets the tone, and every moment seems to extend the beauty of the landscape.
A domain in constant dialogue with the bay
The Bay Club unfolds like an open territory, designed to blend seamlessly with the natural curves of the bay. Buggy rides glide between tropical gardens and pathways that suddenly open onto the lagoon. Boat shuttles link the various areas, forming bridges between land and sea. Coastal trails invite leisurely strolls, offering shifting perspectives depending on the time of day.
This new identity does not erase Anahita’s heritage. On the contrary, it highlights what has always defined it: a deep symbiosis between architecture, nature, and the lagoon. The Bay Club embraces this essence, modernizes it, and makes it more inclusive, more intuitive, and more aligned with the expectations of today’s travelers.
Sunlife reinvents seaside elegance
By joining Sugar Beach, Long Beach, La Pirogue, and Ambre, The Bay Club becomes the fifth member of the Sunlife collection. But it stands as the most coastal and airy of them all. The graphic codes — deep blues softened by pastel tones — tell a story: that of a serene lagoon, gentle tropical nature, and a mindset that encourages slowing down.
The resort feels like a small, vibrant community. Guests move from the marina to the beaches, from the gardens to a restaurant terrace, always guided by the presence of the sea. The atmosphere is chic, yet never rigid. Elegance is worn lightly, like a pareo floating in the wind.
Suites and villas: discreet luxury
The Bay Club offers a collection of accommodations defined by privacy. The Junior Suites create a soft, cocooning atmosphere — ideal for a quiet escape. The Prestige Suites unfold into generous, light-filled spaces, with private pools extending the terraces and panoramic views embracing the bay.
The Deluxe Villas welcome families with space, freedom, and serenity. The Prestige Villa embodies the pinnacle of The Bay Club experience, with its private butler and the feel of an exceptional seaside home. A selection of private villas is also available for seasonal rental, perfect for those seeking total independence while living the Anahita experience.
In all of these spaces, luxury expresses itself without ostentation — in fluid layouts, mastered quietness, natural light that flows freely, and the comforting sensation of feeling at home in an extraordinary environment.
A must-visit golf destination
By bringing together Anahita Golf and Ile aux Cerfs Golf Club under the Sunlife Golf Cluster, The Bay Club positions itself as a reference for golf enthusiasts. Anahita Golf, designed by Ernie Els, stands out with its wide fairways, open lagoon views, and technical layout seamlessly integrated into the landscape. Ile aux Cerfs Golf Club, imagined by Bernhard Langer, offers a spectacular experience set on a lush islet accessible only by boat.
The arrival of professional golfer Thomas Levet as head of the Academy in 2024 brought a fresh dynamic to the domain — a sporting energy that reinforces its appeal. Here, golf is not merely played — it is learned, improved, and shared in a setting that forms an integral part of the experience.
A new art of living under the direction of Christophe Ramdiane
Since March 2025, General Manager Christophe Ramdiane has shaped a vision centered on simplicity, well-being, and the pleasure of being by the water. For him, The Bay Club is a place where everyday life unfolds like a timeless interlude: breakfast with sunrise views, a round of golf followed by a seafood lunch, a spontaneous swim in the late afternoon, a sunset painting the bay in pink and gold.
“The Bay Club at Anahita is an extraordinary playground,” he says. “We want to offer a complete, sincere, generous lifestyle — where every detail matters and where everyone finds their own way of savoring the place.”
A launch that opens a new chapter
Unveiled at Place Belgath before partners, residents, and guests, the new identity marks a foundational milestone for Sunlife. For Joelle Edwards-Tonks, Chief Commercial & Operating Officer, The Bay Club symbolizes a promise: more space, more calm, more authentic moments.
She sums up the group’s vision simply: allowing every visitor to feel both transported and at home, immersed in the beauty of the Mauritian coastline, carried by an atmosphere that celebrates the art of living softly.
