GKA were commissioned to provide full architectural services for a 4 star luxury hotel, boutique hotel and beach club development in Mauritius.

A combination of contemporary forms and traditional Mauritian iconography imbue the project with a rich grid of referential layers.

A prominent feature of the existing site is an established colonnade of trees known as the Almond Alee. The Alee will be used as pedestrian connection linking the resort hotel and beach club.

from the welcoming precedent of the Almond Alee, the buildings, hardscape and landscape of the Anantara IKO Resort & Villas rise with the natural contours of the land in a celebratory response to the Almond Alee, and remnant sand dune topography.

Flanked by the Beach Club and Resort Hotel, the lobby forecourt progressively steps in to form the Promenade and links the arrival point to the beach. The Promenade rises from the Almond Alee to the tip of the highest part of the remnant dune and then in diminishing presence and formality steps back down to the beach.
