Mauritius golf holidays

Anahita runs old sugar-estate stone walls down to the lagoon before Els hands you those last oceanfront holes, while Tamarina carves a path between Rempart Mountain and the bay. Six courses, one warm-water island, and a tee sheet that never feels rushed.

Mauritius is the rare golf destination where the course is only ever half the story. This is an island of lagoon-blue water, sugar-cane hills and a warmth that arrives the moment your day begins — and its golf has grown to match. From the dramatic gorge-side fairways of Tamarina Golf Club on the west coast to the championship layouts strung along the east at Anahita Golf Course and the Heritage Resort estate in the south, the playing here is genuinely world-class, set among resorts built for unhurried days.

What makes a Mauritius trip work is the pairing: the right course beside the right resort, the right side of the island for your dates. That is what we curate. We hand-pick each venue, we know how the estates fit together, and we build the trip around the way you actually want to travel.

We have arranged Mauritius golf since 1981. Every itinerary is hand-built and hand-priced around your dates, your group and the courses you want to play.

Why play golf in Mauritius

  • Three distinct golf experiences on one island — the cliff-and-gorge drama of Tamarina Golf Club in the west, the lagoon-edge layouts of Anahita Golf Course in the east, and the rolling estate golf of Le Chateau and La Reserve at Heritage Resort in the south.
  • Championship pedigree — Mauritius hosts world-class resort golf, with courses designed to challenge low handicaps while remaining a pleasure for the rest of the group.
  • Golf woven into the resort day — at estates like Constance Belle Mare Plage, Heritage Le Telfair and Anahita, the course, the spa and the beach all sit within the same world.
  • Winter-sun timing — Mauritius is at its warmest during our northern-hemisphere winter, so it plays as a genuine escape when courses at home are closed.
  • A trip for mixed groups — golfers, non-golfers and families are all looked after, which makes it one of the easiest destinations to bring everyone along.

The courses you’ll play

Tamarina Golf Club is the island's most theatrical round — set on the west coast within the Tamarina Golf & Spa Resort, its fairways thread between mountain, gorge and the Indian Ocean, with elevation and big sea views that make it unmistakably Mauritian.

Anahita Golf Course on the east coast is a lagoon-side championship layout, with several holes playing along and across the water — a course as much about beauty as about challenge, anchored by the resort and The Bay Club at Anahita.

In the south, the Heritage Resort estate is home to Le Chateau and La Reserve golf courses — generous, varied layouts rolling through the Bel Ombre nature reserve, served by Heritage Awali, Heritage Le Telfair and the wider Heritage golf and wellness world.

We'll match you to the courses that suit your game and your base on the island.

Where you’ll stay

Where you stay shapes the whole trip, so we choose your base around the golf and the coast you want.

In the south, the Heritage Resort estate gives you direct access to Le Chateau and La Reserve, with Heritage Awali Golf & Spa Resort and Heritage Le Telfair Golf & Wellness Resort as two distinct characters — one family-friendly, one quietly refined.

On the east coast, Anahita and The Bay Club at Anahita sit beside the lagoon course, while Constance Belle Mare Plage anchors the Links and Legend golf at Belle Mare Plage with classic five-star polish.

In the west, Tamarina Golf & Spa Resort pairs the gorge-side course with the beaches and sunsets of Tamarin Bay. Inland estates such as Avalon Golf Estate and Mont Choisy Le Golf add further options for the right itinerary.

Best time to play golf in Mauritius

Mauritius sits in the southern hemisphere, so its seasons run opposite to ours — and that is exactly what makes it such a rewarding winter-sun choice.

Our northern-hemisphere winter, roughly November to March, is Mauritius's warm season: hot, sunny days ideal for trading grey skies at home for golf and lagoon. It is the classic escape window, though it is also the wetter, more humid stretch, with the chance of brief tropical showers and the rare cyclone.

Our April to October brings the island's cooler, drier season — still warm and very comfortable for golf, with lighter humidity and steadier conditions. For many keen golfers, these shoulder months are the sweet spot. We'll advise on the right window for your dates and your tolerance for heat.

A sense of Mauritius

History & heritage

Mauritius is a genuine cultural crossroads, and you feel it everywhere. Settled and shaped over centuries by African, Indian, Chinese and European arrivals, the island carries French and British colonial threads alongside deep Hindu, Creole, Muslim and Chinese traditions — a blend reflected in its languages, its temples and churches, and its famously easy hospitality.

The capital, Port Louis, rewards a wander: a working harbour city with a busy central market, colonial-era architecture and a lively waterfront. Inland, the sugar-cane estates and nature reserves — including the Bel Ombre reserve around the Heritage Resort — tell the story of the island's plantation past. It is a destination where the welcome feels personal, and where golf sits naturally within a richer cultural day.

Food & wine

Mauritian food is one of the island's quiet pleasures — a true fusion built from its many cultures. Expect Creole curries and rougaille, Indian-influenced spice, Chinese-inflected street food and French finesse, all leaning heavily on just-landed seafood.

Around the resorts, dining ranges from relaxed beachside grills to refined restaurants; estates such as Constance Belle Mare Plage, Heritage Le Telfair and Anahita are well known for their tables and their cellars. Off-resort, the street food is a highlight — dholl puri, gateaux piments and freshly grilled fish at markets like the one in Port Louis. Rum is the island's signature spirit, distilled from local sugar cane, and a tasting makes an easy, characterful afternoon between rounds.

Beyond the fairways

There is far more to a Mauritius trip than the fairways, which is why it suits mixed groups so well.

  • The lagoons and beaches — snorkelling, diving, catamaran sailing and big-game fishing off the west coast near Tamarina.
  • Black River Gorges and the south-west — hiking, waterfalls, the sacred lake at Grand Bassin and the coloured earths of Chamarel.
  • Bel Ombre nature reserve — on the doorstep of the Heritage Resort, with trails, wildlife and quad or buggy safaris.
  • Spa and wellness — a defining part of the island, woven into resorts such as Heritage Le Telfair and Tamarina Golf & Spa Resort.
  • Port Louis and the markets — culture, shopping and history in the capital.

We'll fold the non-golf days into the itinerary so everyone in the group has their own kind of holiday.

Getting around & exploring

Mauritius is compact, but the coasts have distinct characters, and journeys between them take longer than the map suggests — the east, south and west each feel like a different world. Most of our guests settle into one resort base and let us arrange everything around it.

Private transfers are the easiest and most relaxed way to move: airport to resort, and out to whichever course you're playing that day. Many estates — the Heritage Resort, Anahita, Constance Belle Mare Plage — are large enough that you can spend whole days without leaving. For excursions or a change of coast, we'll arrange driver-guides or self-drive as you prefer. Driving is on the left, which UK visitors find immediately familiar.

Getting there

Mauritius is served by Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport in the south-east of the island, with direct long-haul services from the UK and connections via the Gulf and elsewhere. It is a long-haul flight, typically around twelve hours direct, which makes Mauritius a destination best suited to a week or longer.

Flights are arranged as a separate, ATOL-protected add-on to your holiday — we are a ground-only operator, so we tailor the land arrangements and can book your flights alongside them when you'd like us to. We'll advise on the routings and timings that work best for your dates and your chosen resort, and on the private transfer to carry you from the airport to your door.

Good to know

  • Flights are a separate, ATOL-protected add-on — Golf Planet Holidays arranges your ground itinerary, and we can book flights alongside it; they are never bundled in by default.
  • Plan for a week or more — the long-haul flight means Mauritius rewards a longer stay rather than a short break.
  • Drive on the left — familiar for UK visitors, whether self-driving or in a private transfer.
  • Choose your coast — west (Tamarina), east (Anahita, Belle Mare Plage) and south (Heritage Resort) each have a different climate, character and golf, so your base matters.
  • Winter-sun timing — warmest and most popular in our winter (Nov–Mar); cooler, drier and very comfortable for golf Apr–Oct.
  • Every itinerary is hand-built and hand-priced — there is no fixed package; we curate the courses, resort and transfers around your group and your dates.
  • We have arranged Mauritius golf since 1981 — our authority comes from four decades of curation and relationships, not a templated brochure.

Frequently asked questions

Golf holidays in Mauritius — answers to the questions our golfers ask most.

What is the best time of year to go to Mauritius?

Mauritius is a year round destination. For golfers, November to March is generally when the weather is cooler and the rainfall at its lowest. However in the Mauritian winter, from July to October, temperatures are around 20 degrees Celsius with even lower humidity levels, providing ideal conditions for golf.

How do I get to Mauritius?

There are direct flights from the UK to Mauritius with British Airways or Air Mauritius. Alternatively you could head to Mauritius from South Africa as a two-country holiday.

Is there plenty to do in Mauritius?

If you can drag yourself away from the fantastic golf courses,  there are plenty of water activities in the Indian Ocean. You can tour the island seeing the historic capital of St Louis or explore the abundance of natural wildlife.

Is a two-centre holiday a good idea in Mauritius?

If you are planning to stay in Mauritius for a fortnight or so, a two-centre holiday gives you plenty of opportunity to explore different areas of the island and play a range of the fantastic golf courses.  We can also help you with a non-golf option if you wish to immerse yourself in nature, staying in the centre of the island.

Are flights included?

Our golf holidays are arranged ground-only — hotel, golf and transfers. You can add flights through us, and those flights are ATOL protected as part of your booking.

How do golf holidays with Golf Planet Holidays work?

Every trip is tailor-made. Tell us your group, dates and the destinations you fancy, and we build a personal itinerary — hotel, golf and transfers — around them. There are no fixed packages to squeeze into; we shape the whole break to suit how your group likes to play.
