Mauritius has firmly established itself as a world-class golfing destination, blending technical championship courses with the breathtaking backdrop of the Indian Ocean. From the dramatic volcanic landscapes of the Le Morne Peninsula to the lush, manicured greens of Bel Ombre in the south and the prestigious enclaves of Anahita on the east coast, the island offers diversity for every handicap. Resorts like the Four Seasons Resort Mauritius at Anahita and Heritage Le Telfair seamlessly integrate luxury living with sport, featuring courses designed by legends such as Ernie Els and Bernhard Langer. Whether you seek the challenge of island greens at Ile aux Cerfs or the serenity of coastal fairways, Mauritius delivers an unparalleled golf-and-stay experience.

Mauritius is rare among tropical destinations for its density of high-caliber golf courses attached directly to luxury hospitality. Unlike destinations where golf is an afterthought, properties like Shangri-La Le Touessrok and Constance Prince Maurice center the guest experience around the sport. The island boasts designs by golfing titans including Bernhard Langer and Ernie Els, ensuring that the technical play is as impressive as the panoramic ocean views. The unique topography—ancient volcanic rock, mangrove forests, and turquoise lagoons—creates natural hazards that are visually stunning and strategically demanding.
Golfing in Mauritius is defined by 'resort golf' at its finest—meaning impeccable service from bag drop to the 19th hole. Expect GPS-equipped carts, professional caddies available at premium courses, and world-class clubhouses serving gourmet cuisine. Most resorts included in our collection, such as One&Only Le Saint Géran, offer complimentary green fees to guests, making it an exceptional value for enthusiasts. The climate allows for year-round play, though the cooler, drier months from May to October provide the most comfortable conditions for an 18-hole round.

Explore All Mauritius HotelsFollowing a sweeping renovation in October 2024, Shangri-La Le Touessrok has shed its classic formality for a looser, 'Tropical Bohemian Chic' skin—and it wears it well. The property, perched on the windswept (and occasionally wild) east coast, now feels less like a hotel and more like a sprawling private estate. The real flex here isn't just the main resort, but the access it grants. A six-minute speedboat ride whisks you to Ilot Mangénie, a private island exclusive to guests where butler service extends to the sandbanks. For golfers, the Bernhard Langer-designed course on Ile aux Cerfs is a non-negotiable pilgrimage, offering 18 holes of dramatic ocean-view play that justifies the greens fees alone. Back on the mainland, the culinary landscape has shifted. The new TSK (Touessrok Soul Kitchen) mimics a Mauritian home with rotisserie meats that demand attention, while Kushi remains the reservation to fight for—try the Wagyu shabu-shabu if you can secure a table. The Frangipani Wing is the power move for accommodation, offering exclusive pool access and in-room check-in that bypasses the lobby entirely. While service can occasionally lag on ‘island time’ during peak breakfast hours at Le Bazar, the staff’s warmth is genuine. Verdict: The undisputed heavyweight for active luxury in Mauritius.
“Book a Frangipani Suite for complimentary evening cocktails and guaranteed access to the adults-only pool, but make your dinner reservations at Kushi and Safran two weeks before arrival—they book out fast.”

Anchored at the jagged foot of the UNESCO-listed Le Morne Brabant, this property feels less like a hotel and more like a curated island sanctuary. While the dramatic mountain backdrop commands attention, the resort’s genius lies in its refusal to compete with nature. Instead, it leans into a sophisticated 'mindful barefoot' ethos—think neutral tones, plantation shutters, and crisp linens that frame, rather than distract from, the turquoise lagoon. For golfers, this is strategic hedonism: you are minutes from the Paradis Golf Club’s fairways, yet far enough to escape the country club stiffness. Post-round, the recovery game is strong. Bypass the main pool for the adults-only infinity sanctuary at the LUX* Me Spa, perhaps pairing it with a Shirley Page oil massage. Dining here eschews the expected; skip the standard buffet for 'East', where the Tom Yum Goong rivals Bangkok’s best, or hunt down 'Vik’s'—a rustic shack where the sea urchin is harvested daily by the resort’s own fisherman and served with house-infused rum. It’s polished, yes, but with a salt-spray edge that keeps it authentically Mauritian.
“Book the 'Treehouse' dining platform at sunset for the best view of the kite-surfers at 'One Eye', or request a Sunset Junior Suite for direct sand access.”

If the typical golf resort is a bustling clubhouse with a hotel attached, Constance Prince Maurice is the hushed, hyper-elegant antidote. Designed by Jean-Marc Eynaud with strict adherence to Feng Shui principles, the arrival experience—a lantern-lit walk through mangroves—sets a meditative tone that feels miles away from the sport’s usual clatter. It is a sanctuary first, a golf destination second, yet the privileges are serious: guests command priority tee times at the adjacent 'The Legend' and 'The Links' courses, home to the MCB Tour Championship. The aesthetic here is 'barefoot aristocratic'. Suites are thatched-roof structures elevated on stilts, smelling faintly of spice and sea salt, equipped with Mac minis and expansive terraces. While the man-made beach has its rocky patches (a known quirk), the lagoon’s stillness is the real draw, best enjoyed from 'Le Barachois', the island’s only floating restaurant. Here, navigating the lantern-lit pontoon to dine on St. Brandon 'Faye Faye' crab isn't just dinner; it's theater. The service is telepathic, and the cellar houses 25,000 bottles—a collection so vast it requires its own sommelier team. For post-round recovery, the Sisley Spa’s thermal pool is the only correct ending to the day. **Verdict**: The ultimate 'play and stay' for couples who care as much about their Burgundy vintages as their backswing.
“Book the 'Lagoon Dinner' at Le Barachois specifically at sunset (6:30 PM) to watch the sharks—harmless, we promise—circle the illuminated pontoons below.”

If the One&Only Le Saint Géran were a person, she’d be the glamorous aunt who disappears to Switzerland for a 'tune-up' and returns looking twenty years younger. Fresh off a comprehensive late-2024 renovation and celebrating her Golden Jubilee in late 2025, the island's original ultra-luxury resort has managed to shed the dust without losing the soul. The arrival experience remains unrivaled—that stone breezeway framing the Indian Ocean is still the best framing device in the hemisphere—but the interiors now feel sharper, lighter, and mercifully devoid of colonial kitsch. While the 'Golf Coast' location draws the fairway set, the real sport here is navigating the culinary map. Tapasake remains the heavyweight champion, where the Marinated Cod with Miso is so tender it practically dissolves upon eye contact. For lunch, skip the buffet (which can feel a touch transactional for this price point) and head straight to La Pointe for the daily catch grilled over firewood—smoke, salt, and sea air is a winning perfume. The new Guerlain Spa is a serious upgrade, boasting one of the few heated lap pools on the island, a godsend for those who find the ocean’s seaweed days—a known issue on this coast—less than appealing. Service is where the Saint Géran plays its ace; staff members like Ash and Shubham don’t just memorize your drink order; they anticipate your mood. It’s expensive, yes, but for refined hedonism, the Dame still reigns.
“Avoid the 'fishbowl effect' of the ground-floor beachfront rooms. Request a second-floor Ocean Suite for genuine privacy, or commandeer a cabana at the adults-only spa pool for total seclusion.”

If refined colonialism had a handicap, it would be scratch. Heritage Le Telfair isn't just a resort; it's a defiant stand against the barefoot bohemia sweeping the rest of Mauritius. Here, in the wilder southern Bel Ombre domain, the vibe is strictly buttoned-up elegance—think white timber plantation houses, French windows, and butlers who remember your preference for Earl Grey over English Breakfast. The headline act is undeniably the golf. While the Le Château course provides the scenic championship pedigree, the newly minted La Réserve Golf Links (co-designed by Louis Oosthuizen) is the game-changer—literally. As the Indian Ocean’s first contemporary links course, it’s a windy, technical beast that recently snagged the resort the 'World’s Best Golf Hotel' title at the 2025 World Golf Awards. Off the fairways, the Seven Colours Spa offers a serious recovery session (try the Millésime rituals), though the gym feels like an afterthought for a property of this caliber. Dining is a high-stakes affair; 'Annabella’s' executes a flawless Mauritian breakfast, but the pièce de résistance is dinner at Le Château de Bel Ombre. Eating Rusa deer curry in a 19th-century mansion is atmospheric, though the bill might sting more than the mosquitoes. A word of warning: packing requires strategy. Trousers are mandatory for men at dinner—this is not the place for board shorts after dark.
“Book a table at Gin'ja for the Teppanyaki counter specifically at sunset; the Pan-Asian menu is solid, but the view over the citronella-scented lagoon is the real dish.”

Forget the 'resort factory' feel of the north; the East Coast is where Mauritius gets moody, dramatic, and seriously upscale. Fresh off a November 2025 renovation by 1508 London, the Four Seasons at Anahita has shed its former skin for a 'Living Canvas' concept that feels less like a hotel and more like a curated village of private sanctuaries. The Ernie Els-designed course is effectively your front lawn—immaculate, challenging, and blissfully free of the hoi polloi. Inside the villas, the new design language speaks in hushed tones of bleached timber and stone, a smart pivot from the darker woods of yesteryear. The standalone layout ensures you never hear a neighbour, though the Dyson-equipped bathrooms and heated pools might tempt you to stay indoors. Dining is a serious affair here: skip the buffet and head straight to Radici for 'La Nostra Carbonara'—rich, unapologetic, and worth the carb-loading. For dinner, Angara’s 'Maharaja’s Angara' feast is a theatrical masterpiece of tandoor precision. The only caveat? The man-made lagoon beach lacks the wild crash of the ocean, but a boat ride to the private club on Ile aux Cerfs fixes that instantly. **Verdict**: Ideally suited for the golfer who demands Michelin-level consistency with their back nine.
“Book a treatment at the overwater Oseyan Spa specifically in the late afternoon; the 'Epicutis' facials are legendary, and the sunset view from the relaxation suite is superior to any bar on the property.”

If Mauritius had a monarchy, this would be its palace. While newer resorts chase TikTok trends with floating breakfasts, the Royal Palm Beachcomber Luxury rests on a reputation so solid it recently retained its Forbes Travel Guide 5-Star status for 2025. It is the island’s unshakeable matriarch of taste—a place where the staff (styled as ‘Artisans’) outnumber guests three-to-one, ensuring your lounger is prepared before you’ve even finished your espresso. For golfers, this is the spiritual home for tackling the volcanic contours of Mont Choisy Le Golf, the Peter Matkovich-designed championship course just a short drive away. But the real sport here is doing absolutely nothing. Suites are studies in restraint, featuring walk-in wardrobes and baths stocked with Valmont amenities. Dinner at La Goélette is non-negotiable; order the Pan-fried Emperor Red Snapper with ponzu, a dish that perfectly encapsulates the hotel’s 'Old World' meets 'Tropical Zen' philosophy. It is not flashy; it is simply correct.
“Book a lunch table at Le Bar Plage specifically under the ancient Badamier tree. It offers the best natural shade and the most coveted view of the bay.”

Sugar Beach doesn’t just lean into its colonial plantation aesthetic; it owns it with theatrical flair. The arrival experience at the Manor House is pure drama—a sweeping Grand Staircase framed by rattan basket chandeliers so massive they dwarf the guests beneath them. For the fairway-obsessed, the resort’s 'Sunrise to Sunset' package is the real draw, granting access to both the rugged Tamarina Golf Club and the legendary Ile aux Cerfs. While entry-level quarters measure a snug 40sqm, the sea-facing suites justify the upsell with proximity to the sand. Dining is a high-wire act; skip the main buffet bottlenecks and secure a table at Buddha-Bar Beach, where the Black Cod and ‘Make a Wish’ cocktails rival any outpost in Dubai. Service operates strictly on 'island time'—charming if you’re lounging by the quiet South Pool, less so if you’re rushing for a tee time. Verdict? A sophisticated, photogenic basecamp for golfers who demand apres-golf glamour.
“Book the 'Maré Maré' restaurant for dinner well in advance to snag a table near the wood-fired oven—and ask for the Wine Spectator award-winning list.”
