Villa Athena

Villa Athena is a premium class resort. The villas opened in December 2011 and on several travel review sites this resort received very good reviews. This can only emphasize the high quality features, the attention to details and the good services offered here. The villas are only slightly different from each other, all have the same high standard. Each villa has a private pool with a tropical garden.

Location
Situated in the north, about 2 minutes drive from Grand Bay, this resort gives you plenty of choices in reaching quickly the nearby beaches. If you rather prefer sandy beaches, these are only a few minutes drive away in Trou aux Biches and Mont Choisy. Those who prefer the small bays and good snorkeling places will feel at ease in the region of Péreybère and Cap malheureux. The east coast with its gorgeous secluded beaches can be reached from here in only about 30 minutes.
Grand Bay is located close to this property, therefore tourists will find plenty of opportunities here, everything from souvenir shops to great day trips. Due to the new highway to Mahébourg the entire island is also easy to reach from the north. Travel time to / from Mahébourg (airport) is approximately 70 minutes.

Service
Villa Athena is not a hotel, but provides similar standards and is managed likewise.
For example, there is daily cleaning service and upon request guests can have their cloths washed and ironed. The villas also feature a 24h manned security (concierge). Of course, the price includes bed linen and towels.

Tips / Suggestions
Our team recommends a car hire while in Mauritius. The pavements are not fully separated from the road. Anyone should experience a bus ride once, but for sure no one wants to spend ones holiday in a time-consuming bus. Guests of Athena Villas don't necessarily need a car because everything is reachable within walking distance.
