Luxury 10,000 sq. ft home in Mauritius on sale for… Rs500 million

A luxury 10,000 square-foot house in Mauritius, the Villa Charlotte, is currently on the market for $10.8 million (Rs500 million).

Villa Charlotte is located on Mauritius’s eastern coast in the luxury resort and spa development known as Anahita. Located roughly 35 minutes from the international airport at Port Louis, the property includes six bedrooms, each one with an en suite. The project features an array of individual pavilions all connected by lushly landscaped pathways. 

The owner, David Rich-Jones, CEO of Richstone Properties and the Richstone Collection, said he personally oversaw the development and construction of the property.

“We decided on building the accommodation across different buildings, more in the style of an island hotel than as a traditional villa, and this really is unique on the island,” Rich-Jones was cited as telling David Kaufman of the specialist media platform, Robb Report.

At the centre of the home’s grounds is a 82-foot swimming pool complete with eco-friendly salt-water filtration system. Inside, there’s a large open-plan kitchen and a main family room, which serves as Villa Charlotte’s main gathering space.

On one side, this grand room is open to the pool and the elements just beyond, while up above it is capped by a soaring roof. Off to one side is a circular alfresco lounging pit, with a curved and dreamily comfy built-in couch and BBQ. 

There are a pair of bedrooms on the ground floor, followed by four more on the top floor, including the oversized primary suite. A spa and gym, an entertainment suite and staff accommodations round out the villa’s all-in-one offerings.
