Set on a peninsula between the historic village of Mahébourg and the protected lagoon of Blue Bay Marine Park, Preskil Island Resort is a fully renovated hospitality destination shaped by its exceptional natural setting. The project repositions the resort as a contemporary yet grounded environment, where architecture, landscape, and experience are closely interwoven.
The design approach is anchored in placemaking — creating a sequence of spaces that support both social interaction and individual retreat. From arrival across the bridge to the distributed public areas, the resort is conceived as a collection of interconnected moments, each responding to different rhythms of use and types of occupancy.
Spatial planning balances openness and intimacy. Generous communal areas encourage gathering and shared experiences, while quieter, more secluded zones offer privacy and calm. This layered approach allows the resort to accommodate a wide range of guest expectations, from family-oriented activities to more reflective, restorative stays.
Architecture and interiors are developed in continuity with the landscape. Material choices, textures, and spatial orientations are carefully considered to reinforce the connection between built form and the surrounding environment. Natural light, ventilation, and framed views contribute to a sense of comfort and coherence throughout the resort.
Outdoor spaces play a central role in the overall experience. Beaches, gardens, and circulation paths are integrated as extensions of the architecture, shaping a fluid transition between interior and exterior. This continuity enhances the perception of place, grounding the project in its coastal and cultural context.
The transformation of Preskil Island Resort reflects a considered approach to hospitality design — where the quality of space, connection to nature, and clarity of experience come together to create a destination that is both enduring and distinctly Mauritian.
