CITIZENS ONLY
Hidden behind its mature tropical setting, this extraordinary beachfront property in the north of Mauritius is a home unlike any other — rich in character, atmosphere and architectural presence. Designed almost 30 years ago by acclaimed Allister Macbeth, the residence reflects a bold architectural style defined by dramatic volumes, steeply pitched roofs, deep-toned timber finishes and intimate, cocoon-like living spaces.
The home was conceived to embrace privacy, texture and scale, creating an environment that feels grounded, artistic and deeply connected to its natural surroundings. Generous sea-facing living areas open onto a long veranda overlooking the garden and ocean beyond, while the principal en-suite bedroom enjoys peaceful coastal views. A feature library, closed chef’s kitchen, separate guest bedroom and bathroom, and outdoor laundry complete the main living spaces.
Upstairs, two open studies sit beneath the striking rooflines, offering beautiful volume and the opportunity to further enhance the home with an additional bathroom if desired. Separate from the main house is a fully equipped en-suite studio, above a wine cellar and double garage.
Although set slightly back from the shoreline, the property still enjoys magnificent sea views, and an option for direct access to a sandy beachfront, and the rare sense of space that only larger coastal plots can offer. The existing residence offers a unique opportunity for an inspired renovation — retaining its bold architectural identity while introducing lighter, more contemporary elements to transform the home into a spectacular modern coastal retreat.
Equally, the generous beachfront land presents exceptional redevelopment potential for a boutique hotel or luxury beachfront apartment project in one of the most sought-after regions of the island.
A rare canvas filled with character, scale and possibility — ready for a new vision to bring it to life.
