Plan a Mauritius two-centre golf holiday across east, west and south coasts. Four 10–14 night itineraries from Belle Mare, Anahita, Tamarina and Heritage. Talk to Simon.
Mauritius is small enough to see twice, in two very different moods, on a single trip. Here are four two-centre itineraries our clients keep coming back to.
A Mauritius two-centre golf holiday is the trip I plan more than any other. The island is sixty-five kilometres by forty-five. A private chauffeur between most of the resorts I use runs to about forty minutes, so “isn’t it a faff to move?” has a short answer. No. One drive, done by tea time. The east, south and west coasts are three quite different holidays, and stitching two of them together is the difference between a fortnight by one pool and a trip you’ll still be describing at the bar next spring. The single-centre alternatives all live on our Mauritius golf packages page. Below are the four combinations I book most, with each resort’s ground-only from-price per person.
Why split a small island into two halves?
The geography does the work. Drive an hour from Constance Belle Mare Plage on the east coast to Heritage Le Telfair on the south and the soundtrack changes. The lagoon flattens. The cane fields rise. The air smells of woodsmoke off the Bel Ombre estate instead of seaweed off Belle Mare beach. Move on west to Tamarina and Mount Rempart fills the windscreen. Three coasts, three weather patterns, three quite different rounds of golf. Two weeks in one hotel and you’ve seen one Mauritius. Split the stay and you’ve seen the whole island, without unpacking more than twice.
East coast vs west coast vs south. What each one gives you
The east coast is the postcard Mauritius: long lagoons, white sand, the trade wind that keeps things bearable in February. Honesty compels a caveat here. That same trade wind makes the east genuinely blowy from June to September, and if a three-club wind ruins your fun, look west for those months instead. Belle Mare Plage, where ground-only prices begin at
The south coast at Bel Ombre is the green, hilly, slightly old-Mauritius half. Sugar history, the UNESCO Man-and-Biosphere Reserve up the slope, the Bel Ombre estate running 2,500 hectares from the cane fields down to roughly a kilometre of beach shared by Le Telfair and its sister property Heritage Awali. The golf is the reason most of my clients now choose this coast. La Réserve Golf Links, co-designed by Peter Matkovich and Louis Oosthuizen, opened on 1 December 2023 and was named World’s Best New Golf Course in 2024, Indian Ocean’s Best in 2025, and Golfweek’s number one in Africa for 2026. Le Château, the older Matkovich layout, sits a five-minute buggy ride away.
The west coast at Tamarin is the quiet one. Smaller hotels, drier weather, big skies over Mount Rempart. Tamarina, from
“Within a year of its December 2023 opening, the Matkovich and Oosthuizen-designed La Réserve Golf Links had taken the World’s Best New Golf Course title, and Golfweek now ranks it first in Africa for 2026.”
Itinerary A — Belle Mare plus Heritage Le Telfair (the headline pairing)
The headline combination, and the one I’d give most golfers. Seven nights at Belle Mare Plage on half board with complimentary green fees on the Legend and the Links. Baiocchi’s 1994 layout through indigenous deer-hunting woodland, and Wright and Alliss’s 2002 inland links with the old lime kiln next to the eighteenth. Then a forty-minute transfer south to Heritage Le Telfair on bed and breakfast, both Heritage courses included. Belle Mare is the long-beach, eight-restaurants, four-pools half. Heritage is the golf-trophy half. La Réserve is the course you’ll be talking about on the plane home. Belle Mare hosts the MCB Mauritius Legends and the MCB Ladies Classic. Le Telfair holds the World’s Best Golf Hotel 2025 trophy from the World Golf Awards.
Best for: Golfers who want the trophy course, the long beach, and the spa at both ends.
On-site golf: Legend + Links at Belle Mare, Le Château + La Réserve at Heritage. Four championship courses across the fortnight.
The numbers: ground-only, Constance Belle Mare Plage opens at
Itinerary B — Anahita plus Heritage Le Telfair (the four-course trip)
Four designers in fourteen nights. Week one goes to The Bay Club at Anahita, where
Best for: Architecture geeks. Four big names, four signature holes, four very different routings.
On-site golf: Els at Anahita, Langer on Île aux Cerfs (boat included), Le Château + La Réserve at Heritage.
The numbers: The Bay Club at Anahita starts at
Itinerary C — Tamarina plus Belle Mare (the Rodney Wright trip)
The connoisseur’s two-centre, and a good one for couples where one half plays and one half doesn’t. Start west at Tamarina Golf & Spa Resort for seven nights. Forty-nine rooms, La Madrague for the breakfast buffet over Tamarin Bay, dolphin-watching boats at dawn, and Rodney Wright’s 6,886-metre par 72 with the view of Mount Rempart from the seventh tee. Tamarina sits on Tamarin Bay with the proper swimming beach club a short shuttle ride away at La Preneuse. Its green-fee partnership programme means you also get reciprocal access at Sugar Beach, Sofitel So Mauritius, Maradiva and Paradis Beachcomber. Then a forty-minute transfer east to Belle Mare for seven nights, with the Legend and Wright’s own Links course. The same designer’s hand at both ends of the trip. The contrast between a 49-room boutique and a 278-key grand resort is the whole point.
Best for: Mixed couples (one plays, one doesn’t), boutique fans, anyone who wants the west coast quiet and the east coast scale in one fortnight.
On-site golf: Tamarina’s Rodney Wright par 72; Belle Mare’s Legend + Links (the Links also a Rodney Wright design).
The numbers: Tamarina from
The signature shots from each resort
Itinerary D — Heritage Awali plus Belle Mare (the all-in, low-effort one)
For clients who want the bill capped and the planning to disappear. Seven nights at Heritage Awali, where the all-inclusive ground-only price starts at
Best for: Clients who want it priced once, paid once, and never to see a bar tab, with championship golf still front and centre.
On-site golf: Le Château + La Réserve at Heritage (estate-wide access from Awali), Legend + Links at Belle Mare.
The numbers: Heritage Awali, all-inclusive at
The mechanics. Transfers, baggage and rest days
Everything below comes from booking these trips for fourteen years. The inter-resort transfer is always private chauffeur. Not a shuttle, not a hire car. Tamarina is fifty minutes from SSR airport; Anahita thirty to forty; Heritage Le Telfair fifty; Belle Mare sixty-five. That last figure is worth sitting with. Belle Mare’s is the longest airport run of the four, and after a night flight it feels it, which is one reason I often route clients to the east coast for week two rather than week one. The hop between any two resorts on the island runs to about forty minutes depending on the route. Baggage is handled at both ends by the resort concierges. Clubs travel separately if you want. The trick to making a two-centre feel like a holiday rather than a route march is to plan rest days around the transfer day. I block the move-day morning for the spa at the outgoing resort. Seven Colours at Le Telfair, L’Acacia at Tamarina, GLOW by Sunlife at Anahita, Constance Spa with Sisley at Belle Mare. The drive after lunch, and an early dinner at the new hotel. You arrive settled, not shattered.
How many rounds is realistic?
The question that decides whether a two-centre suits you. Most clients play five or six mornings out of ten, not ten of ten. Mauritius is hot by eleven, and the spa, the beach, the boat to Île aux Cerfs and the tasting at Chamarel Distillery are all part of why you flew this far. The maths for itinerary B above: three mornings on the Els at Anahita, one on the Langer at Île aux Cerfs, two at La Réserve, one at Le Château. Seven rounds across fourteen nights. Push for eight or nine and you’ll come home sunburnt and tired. For full course-by-course detail across all seven championship layouts, see our Mauritius championship courses guide. For the all-inclusive maths underlying itinerary D, see what’s actually included on a Mauritius all-inclusive golf package.
Simon’s quick take
- Best for: couples or fourballs taking ten to fourteen nights who want variety. Different golf, different food, different mood, without the airport faff of island-hopping.
- Worth knowing: every package we quote is ground-only. Flights are quoted separately (ATOL protection applies when we add them), and the inter-resort chauffeur on the day you move is a small added line you’ll forget you paid for by lunchtime.
- Simon’s tip: if you can choose, end the trip at the resort with the better spa rather than the better golf. You’ll want a long afternoon of nothing before the night flight home, and Seven Colours at Le Telfair is the one I send people to.
