Enjoy variety on your Mauritius golf trip
Mauritius may be a tiny tropical island but despite its size, it offers a plethora of wonderful things to see and do off the course. Blue lagoons and white sandy beaches are merely the tip of the iceberg. Mauritius is bustling with life, boasting unique flora and fauna, and is home to a fantastic African culture, cuisine and architecture, it is the place to be.
With that in mind, there is so many possibilities on a Mauritius golf trip... here are a few of our favourites:
All-inclusive golf holiday Best for: Stress-free luxury, value and convenience
Mauritius is the ultimate all-inclusive golf holiday destination. The island is full of five-star resorts that boast incredible value when you consider the quality of food, location, facilities, and beachfront locations on offer. And while it can often seem like more on the front end, going all-inclusive is often the easiest option and can often end up cheaper when you're not having to spend much while you're away.
- Most resorts in our collection offer all-inclusive packages. Check with our Golf Travel Experts to find the best option for you.
Half board golf trip Best for: Golfers on the go,
If you plan to spend your afternoons exploring the island, playing multiple rounds, or trying local cuisine off-site, half-board can be a smart alternative. It includes breakfast and dinner, saving on costs without locking you into three meals at the resort. It’s an ideal option for those booking excursions or tee times throughout the day.
Golf & spa Best for: Relaxation, wellness & couples retreats
Guests looking for some much-needed R&R time will be overjoyed with the choice on offer. We offer a collection of four and five-star golf & spa resorts such as Constance Belle Mare Plage, Heritage Le Telfair, and Anahita Resort, each of whom have their own unique treatments. After a day on the course, visitors can unwind in lavish spas that offer treatments inspired by local traditions and international therapies.
Golf & beach Best for: Water lovers, sun-seekers, families
Mauritius is fringed by idyllic beaches, many of them private or semi-private to your resort. Enjoy lazy days by the water, or try your hand at kayaking, paddleboarding, sailing, and snorkelling - often included with your stay.

Golf & gastronomy Best for: Foodies, rum lovers, culture-curious travellers
Take a trip to one of the colourful local markets and test your taste buds on the world’s finest rum. We recommend the lively Port Louis central market. At night, you can choose from a wide selection of both African and international restaurants to experience the finest cuisine.
Golf & adventure Best for: Active travellers, nature lovers, couples
Adventure seekers should grab a speedboat and get out onto the crystal-clear waters where they can swim with dolphins or visit the island's two white South African rhinos. Alternatively, you can hike among the mountainous regions, rainforests and waterfalls. Take a look at our review of a 10-night couples stay where they do all of this and more.
