Of course, a getaway to Mauritius starts with choosing a hotel that fits your taste. Whether you crave local, characterful décor or sleek, design-forward interiors, and whether your palate leans toward standout gastronomy or simple comfort, the island’s hotels have you covered. But when the goal is to devote long hours to fine-tuning your swing, sometimes the course itself becomes the star of the show. On that front, Mauritius stands out as one of the most beautiful golf destinations on Earth. Now you just have to pick from our admittedly selective list.
Heritage Le Telfair Golf & Wellness Resort
Head to the southwest of the island, inside the expansive Bel Ombre Estate, to settle into this five‑star property, a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World. A charming, old sugar‑plantation vibe envelops 158 suites spread across village-style layouts.
A colonial architectural shell is echoed in the contemporary décor: pale parquet floors, four-poster beds, rattan lounge chairs, and colors that nod to the surrounding nature.
Beyond the friendly brasserie lies a restaurant that veers toward the East, another that hints at the Mediterranean, reserving the Bel Ombre Castle housed in the old plantation for gastronomic menus.
If you’re traveling with family, you can safely entrust your little ones aged 3 to 17 to dedicated clubs. It’s the ideal setting for a few hours of submarine‑themed snorkeling or a yoga session, a spa afternoon, or a discovery tour of the Heritage Golf Club. Designed by Peter Matkovich—a reference in the field—it rewards with spectacular views of the mountains, lakes, streams, trees, and groves. It’s a notably technical course, offering five tee options on each hole and strategically placed bunkers that demand thoughtful play. A couple of years ago, it added the Reserve Golf Links, the region’s first contemporary links course by the ocean. It’s very demanding, and the Louis Oosthuizen–Peter Matkovich collaboration promises major golfing thrills.
Undoubtedly one of the island’s most beautiful golf hotels.

LUX* Grand Gaube
Golf not your thing from the start? Or you’d like to ease in gradually? That’s the idea behind this five‑star resort perched on a peninsula tucked into tropical gardens, inevitably overlooking a lagoon.
Here there’s no intimidating, cliff‑hanger Par in your face; instead, you’ll find a proper driving range right at the entrance, perfect for couples or families just getting started.
Think you’re ready for the big leagues? The Nine at Azuri is a nine‑hole, Par 3 layout that’s ideal for a bit of bragging, and for the more ambitious, the hotel has a partnership with the Mont Choisy course for a bigger challenge.
But you’ll need a bit of willpower, because Grand Gaube promises a full escape that nudges you toward leisure. Right away you’ll notice the retro‑chic design imagined by interior designer Kelly Hoppen in the styling of each room, suite, and villa. The space itself is generous: 51 m2 for the smaller units. Warm parquet floors, light‑filled spaces with bright accents, a freestanding tub—sometimes even outdoors—in the suites, and a terrace or balcony to enjoy the sea breeze.
The dining options also invite you to linger: a main restaurant that feels like sampling a market’s stalls, a beach club for vibrant Mediterranean‑inspired lunches, a lobster shack under a centuries‑old banyan, a Turkish mezze with a splash of raki, and a signature restaurant promising bold Peruvian flavors.
For a moment of calm and deep serenity, spend a few hours at the spa: three pools ranging from invigorating to warm, twelve treatment rooms, a hammam and a sauna, and a dedicated mindfulness session to recharge your spirit.

Tamarina Golf & Spa Boutique Hotel
What we love about this four‑star hotel? Its sense of privacy. Located on Mauritius’s western coast, 25 kilometers south of Port Louis, it faces the Tamarin Bay and sits near the village of the same name.
It offers just 50 keys with a simple, effective décor, lively color accents, and local materials; two restaurants including the Club House, several bars, and even a wine cellar.
A massage using organic products or a yoga session? Head to L’Acacia Spa.
Want family adventures? Casela Nature Park invites you on a safari.
And don’t miss the opportunities to greet the resident dolphins, which are plentiful in the bay. You can also paddle, play tennis, take surf lessons, or simply unwind on the splendid beach.
No missing the golf yet. Don’t be fooled by the beauty of its setting. Each hole tries to dizzy you—literally—as you take in the Rempart mountain and Tamarin Bay. This championship Par 72 course, laid out by architect Rodney Wright on a former game reserve, is notably technical—and renting a cart is wise. The greens are neatly cut, the fairways widely spaced but can tighten quickly, and there are multiple tee options to suit all levels. Clinics and lessons can be arranged for those who want to improve.

Anahita Golf & Spa Resort
On the east coast, opposite Île aux Cerfs, sits this five‑star property sprawled over 213 hectares. It counts 94 expansive suites and 28 villas—from 60 to 330 m2—in a highly contemporary design sprinkled with Mauritian touches, four restaurants blending world cuisines with local specialities, a stunning Thémaé spa of 800 m2, a club that delights children and teenagers, and, of course, a plethora of land and water activities.
And the golf? A gem: an 18‑hole, Par 72 course carved by South African champion Ernie Els, whose pristine balance between land and sea scenery promises thrilling moments. Five tee sets, broad fairways, and six holes right along the ocean make it a true championship test at 7,500 meters. It’s the kind of course that invites you to savor every shot. You can also train at the Academy’s practice facilities, improve with 55 practice balls included, and enjoy a green fee per night per person. After your round, you can unwind at the Club House bar. And, just five minutes by boat, you can also explore the championship 18‑hole course on Île aux Cerfs, also a Par 72, designed this time by Bernhard Langer.

Hôtel Paradis Beachcomber Golf Resort & Spa
The setting first: this five‑star resort spans 150 hectares on a private peninsula and is crowned by the Morne Brabant mountain, a UNESCO listing. The 7 km of beach facing a turquoise lagoon is among Mauritius’s most beautiful shores.
Rooms and suites, nestled in charming buildings tucked into lush gardens, appeal to lovers of clean, refined ambiance. Light tones, abundant brightness, and space: a minimum of 50 m2. Then there are the restaurants—opulent buffets, salads enjoyed with your feet in the sand, grilled fish that flirt with seafood, and of course Creole flavors.
And then there are the villas facing the sea, their décor inspired by the surrounding vegetation. A dedicated butler, and you can even request a private chef: it’s hard to leave such a set‑up! Perhaps you’ll also want to linger at the spa, a serene sanctuary that offers pampering.
