"Sometimes two words are enough to escape to enchanting imaginary lands. Legend Hill… and the mind is already flying away willing to make you believe in magic. Mauritius is a land of legends. The tropical climate, the beauty of the coasts and the turquoise lagoon, picture-postcard landscapes.The lush vegetation is coated with mystery and seems to shelter unknown treasures and enigmatic creatures. Each place is remarkable and is filled with its own history and myths, inspired by the shape of a rock, the force of the water falls or the bubbling of a hot spring. The island even has its own sea monster and its elves. Legend Hill welcomes you to get a full taste of real life in Mauritius. Villas, apartments and penthouses are nested in a refined and privileged environment.The two restaurants - gourmet and bistro chic - take you to a unique culinary journey, while your gaze is lost into the wide, exploring lyrical landscapes. Both developer and contractor, the Groupe MJ Développement brings together all the necessary abilities to better anticipate your expectations. Our willingness to be ambassadors of the excellence gave us the opportunity to build an exceptional resort over an unforgettable land. Excellence is our raison d’être. Excellence is in our DNA."

MICHAËL RUEL & JEAN ETCHEPAREBORDEchairman & ceo mj développement

Michaël Ruel and Jean Etchepareborde, real estate developers have known how to forge deep links within Mauritius. With more than 20 years of experience in the business of real estate and hotel operation, they like to be at the heart of the action, and lead a strong policy of sponsorship in culture, sports and charity in France as well as in Mauritius. MJ Développement was created in 2007 by these two friends and includes among its shareholders a strong French industrial: Jean-Louis Desjoyaux (CEO of Group Piscines Desjoyaux, world leader in the construction of swimming pools). Following a certain number of leisure travels to Mauritius, the first project was launched in Rivière Noire in 2014: Marguery Exclusive Villas. 40 luxury villas with a private pool and a concierge desk located within a dynamic resort (club house

open all year long). An immediate success. In 2017, MJ Développement starts a new project up North, 10 minutes away from Grand Baie. Mythic Grand Gaube (delivery 2019) is located on a 2.2 ha property, at 550 metres from the beach : 14 villas with their private pool, 12 apartments and 3 penthouses. The main pool provides an amazing panoramic view on Coin de Mire. This success mostly relies on solid relationships with French and Mauritian partners. "Our goal is to do our job differently. The business is evolving, the market has widely changed over the past years, and today’s customers are more and more demanding. We succeed because we handle all our real estate projects from A to Z."

PIERRE-YVES SERRET,architect (architects studio)

JEAN-MICHEL & SOPHIE REMAZEILLES,decorators

Sophie and Jean Michel Remazeilles are masters at creating atmospheres by combining spaces, lights, travel spirit and cosy furniture that calls for peace and tranquillity.Living in Legend Hill is a promise of absolute delight passing by hours and days. Houses are built on top of a hill, as eagle nests hidden within a generous nature. The Queen there, is the view. The view of a deep blue sea, so intense that you could spend hours admiring it. The constructions meet the landscape and are hardly noticed. Space, height, wood, rough concrete, large windows, promontory decks, infinity pool: chic and charm. Legend Hill opens on the nature and seems to have always been there, like a balcony over the ocean. Beautiful outside and beautiful inside. The elegant

decoration comes in noble materials and in shades of sand, khaki, black and white. These sober colours were selected for their purity and brightness. For the Legend Hill project, we have chosen to recreate the spirit of traditional South African Lodges with furniture combining noble and hardy woods and shimmering organic ethnic fabrics, because after all, this is Mauritius, where gentleness is a way of living. It seems that it’s holidays every day. The housings are so beautiful, so spacious, so comfortable, that you never you want to leave.

Legend Hill in a few words

"... The hillside Architecture can’t be improvised and requires the best of the Architect:

Two lines to draw the contour of the building –sober and discreet–Two perspectives to master the sublimeAnd in between, a life divine horizon"

THIERRY NAÏDU,ceo of the group phoenix hotel collection /operating partner of legend hill

Thierry Naïdu was born in Mauritius and arrived in France when he was 10. He grew up "between a kitchen and a hotel". He went to a hotel school in Bordeaux and started his career by replacing his mother at the head of a one-star restaurant. He has always been passionate with gastronomy in hotels and his goal was to manage hotels entirely. That is how he became director of La Chèvre d’Or in 1991. At that time, it was a well-known one-star restaurant with 14 rooms. He wanted to make it a prestigious hotel. He acquired houses in the village to get to 37 rooms. "I did my best to provide international visibility". In 1998, he decided to obtain a second star for La Chèvre d’Or. Two years later, the restaurant got it. Discreet, efficient, attentive, always calm despite the numerous calls coming, Thierry Naïdu applies the philosophy of Phoenix Hotels Collection, a company founded in 2010, dedicated to the management and consulting of luxury hotels. He’s the CEO now. He managed the development of International Luxury Projects, among which the Royal Mansour in Marrakesh, considered as one of the most beautiful hotels in the world, as well as the magnificent Finca Cortesin in Spain.His goals are to share his international experience, to operate in all the different areas of luxury hotels and to bring careful service and integrity.

This chef two stars Michelin will lead the culinary universe of the resort.

Thierry Naïdu will oversee life and activities in the resort. He will be working with MJ Holidays, subsidiary of Groupe MJ Développement (developer and contractor of Legend Hill), dedicated to hotel operation.

OUR PRESTIGIOUS PARTNERS

Perfection in stars: Executive chef of the restaurants of the hotel La Chèvre d’Or, Arnaud Faye has been immersed in refinement for being starred for over 17 years. His leitmotiv is passion.It all started in his grandfather’s vegetable garden. Arnaud Faye was born in Clermont-Ferrand where he learnt how to work with fine products. "I enjoyed eating any seasonal vegetable. I spent hours playing with toy dishes!". He was a resident at the Chaise Dieu hotel school where he discovered the gastronomy of Paul Bocuse and Bernard Loiseau. He earned his recognition among the stars: from kitchen help to station chef and finally chef. He worked in two-starred and three-starred restaurants: La Pyramide, le Buerehiesel of chef Antoine Westermann, Le Relais with Bernard Loiseau. This is how he became so keen on perfection and discipline and so aware of how to experience flavours. His turn came when he became chef at the Espadon (Ritz Hotel in Paris), where, hardly two years after his arrival, the restaurant got his second star. During the time where the Ritz had to close for works, Arnaud Faye became sous-chef at the Mandarin Oriental, alongside Thierry Marx. He then went to Chantilly at the Auberge du Jeu de Paume.

Six months after his arrival, he received the first star. A year after, he got the second one. Four years later, he joined La Chèvre d’Or. "I had never worked in Southern France. I discovered another way of cooking, by the Mediterranean Sea, flooded by the sun. I have the chance to work with very fine small local producers from Italy, from Nice and all-around Var". An aromatic cooking to enjoy while admiring the sea.

On the one hand, nature, whose active principles, essential for skincare, marry fragrant notes, colours, aromas, harmony and unique multi-sensory effects. On the other, science, with its rationality and an approach that is all about effectiveness. The extraordinary result of this philosophy is an innovative line of cosmetics for the face and body. A true burst of vitality.Thanks to a fusion of the Oriental energetic pharmacopeia and the most modern Western phytotherapy, the cutaneous ecosystem is protected, the skin’s beauty is nourished effectively, and the spirit is promoted with harmony. The rules of beauty are redefined.

MJ Developpement THE STRENGTH OF A FRENCH DEVELOPER

The MJ Développement Group is a French estate development company created in 2007. Among its shareholders is a well-known industrialist: Jean-Louis Desjoyaux, CEO of Piscine Desjoyaux, world leader in the construction of swimming pools and spas.

The MJ Développement Group brings together all the abilities in order to design, develop and market high-quality real estate products.Through its wide range, the Group provides housings meeting expectations of all types of buyers: first-time home buyers, main residence ownership, secondary residence ownership, vacation home ownership, or investment. Whether providing villas with pools, prestige real estate, tourist residence, apartments, senior residences or villages with concierge and medical services, our main goal is to meet the customers’ expectations with high-quality projects.

The Group is particularly careful about the location of its projects and always makes sure to choose the right spots. The focus is on urban areas, which prove to be demographically and economically dynamic, such as Île de France (around Paris), Côte d’Azur, Languedoc-Roussillon and Aquitaine (Southern France from

East to West), Savoie (French Alps) and Mauritius.

The company, which manages the projects from A to Z, differentiating itself from mass production competitors, appoints, in every step of the development, trusted partners to provide housings combining comfort, warmth and beauty.

MJ Développement has built a sustainable development approach in the design and implementation of its programs. It consists in limiting the environmental impacts of construction through ecological solutions depending on the location, the weather conditions or the nature of the project, while ensuring the occupants comfortable and healthy living conditions.

One of the main specificities of The MJ Développement Group is a real estate product with touristic purpose: at the seaside or "at the foot" of the slopes. Such products are valued by international tour operators among which Booking.com, TripAdvisor, Thomas Cook, TUI, Exotismes, Pierre & Vacances Tourisme, Expedia, Hotels.com, Locasun, etc...
