Sublimely situated on a beautiful stretch of sand of Cap Malheureux – as if it was one of the first bungalows to be erected on the north coast of Mauritius, chaperoning the Coin de Mire like a sentinel – Villa Zebra Moon beckons you in to its glorious timber and stone spaces, that set the scene for an extraordinary Balinese-inspired beach holiday.
Having been recently renovated by the renowned designer, Daniel de Robillard and decorated by Shenaz Currimjee, this hideaway still retains its original, inimitable features, that ardently honour the island’s heritage and diverse cultures. Yet showcases its finest attributes in a lavish fashion. Bestowing those extra layers of luxury and contemporary necessities we all love to lap up when holidaying in the tropics. Savouring the island’s hedonistic ambience of laidback island-life, surrounded by natural wonders.
Villa Zebra Moon generously tiers itself across the lush garden that leads directly onto the beach. A dreamy infinity pool merges with the horizon, accompanied by a spacious deck and plenty of lounging areas to recline beneath the rays, listening to the palms sway in the Indian Ocean breeze. Five luxurious bedrooms that are all beautifully styled in the home’s running theme of a refined beach house, scatter themselves around the two levels of the villa. The dining, living and entertaining spaces meander around one another, adorned in luxury furnishings and signature art by the esteemed Mauritian legend Vaco Baissac. The kitchen is nicely secluded from the main areas, and a delightfully stocked wine cellar for the connoisseurs of the travelling team adds to the fun. With uninterrupted views of the beautiful blue ocean engulfing almost every room, to enhance the pacifying inspiration of the place.
Sail away with the romance of Grand Baie vibrant island bliss
The property’s perfect location allows for all of the seaside activities to unfold, from the villa’s doorstep. Following a refreshing early morning swim in the sea (or the beautiful swimming pool) you’ll enjoy a walk or a coffee on the sand. As the ocean wildlife greet the day with you. You might head into the nearby town of Grand Baie for some grocery or boutique shopping. Some days you might like to dine out for lunch or pack a picnic and head off on a boat to one of the neighbouring islands. Maybe some snorkelling and sailing, paddle boarding and exploring the pristine waters of Coin de Meir and Gabriel Isle. There’ll be plenty of time to savour the environment of the villa. Long afternoons and evenings on the terrace, dipping in and out of the pool and sipping delicious cocktails. Occasionally you’ll enjoy the culinary delights of a private chef, being fully-catered for as you gather around the outdoor table on the deck. Then hit the town’s thriving nightlife, just for a change of scenery. That’s the wonderful thing about Villa Zebra Moon. You can be delightfully secluded in your own island sanctuary, having all of your needs met. As well as being at liberty to tap into the social scenes of the Mauritian St. Tropez. Whatever floats or island-life boat.
