For a spot of luxury at a very reas-
onable price, go for this endearing holiday home owned by the Montocchio family.
There's a certain beachy charm about the place with its weathered white-wood exterior
and slap-shut colonial shutters. The semidetached house sleeps 10 people and has stun-

Located in Beau Champ, slightly south of Trou d'Eau Douce, the Four Seasons Resort is
part of a vast luxury complex known as Anahita. The draw at Anahita is the clutch of IRS
bungalows, which offers foreigners the chance to purchase their very own piece of para-

day villas. The design scheme plays with local materials, like tropical timber and volcanic
rock, while seamlessly integrating every modern convenience. Four stone-cut pools, a spa
and a stunning golf course are also big draws.

are undoubtedly aplenty, the resort distinguishes itself from the rest of the five-stars with
