Mauritius

Why Choose Mauritius for Your Golf & Spa Holiday

Mauritius sits in a category of its own among Indian Ocean golf destinations. The island's east coast — where the lagoon is at its calmest and the beaches at their most unspoilt — is home to some of the finest luxury resort golf in the world. The courses are maintained to an exceptionally high standard, the tropical scenery is genuinely spectacular, and the pace of island life creates an unhurried quality that makes even a competitive round feel like a pleasure rather than a pressure.

The spa culture in Mauritius draws on island traditions — coconut, volcanic stone, tropical botanicals — that you won't find replicated in European destinations. Combined with the warm Creole hospitality that defines the island's best hotels, it creates a spa experience that feels specific to the place. Mauritius rewards those who make the journey properly: a minimum of seven nights lets you settle in, explore both the golf and the spa, and actually feel the distance from home.

Multiple restaurants, an exceptional wine list and the consistently warm service that Constance properties are known for complete the picture.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time for a golf and spa holiday in Mauritius?

May to December is the dry season and the most popular time to visit — warm temperatures of 24–28°C, lower humidity and reliable sunshine make for excellent golf conditions. January to April is the wet season, with the risk of tropical cyclones peaking February to March. May and June offer a particularly good balance: comfortable temperatures, little rain and fewer visitors than the July–August peak.

What is the golf like in Mauritius?

Mauritius has a small but impressive collection of championship courses. Constance Belle Mare Plage has two 18-hole layouts — the Links and the Legend, both designed by Rodney Wright and Peter Allis — set across coastal and inland terrain with Indian Ocean views. Maintenance standards are consistently high, playing conditions excellent, and the combination of tropical vegetation, ocean breezes and dramatic mountain backdrops makes every round memorable.

How long is the flight from the UK?

Approximately 11–12 hours from London Heathrow, with Air Mauritius and British Airways operating direct services. Mauritius is a genuine long-haul destination, so most guests stay for 7–10 nights to make the most of the journey. Belle Mare on the east coast is around 45 minutes from Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport.

Is Mauritius suitable for non-golfers?

Mauritius is one of the great Indian Ocean holiday destinations regardless of golf. The lagoon at Belle Mare is calm, clear and ideal for swimming, snorkelling and watersports. Spa treatments draw on island traditions — coconut oil, volcanic stone and local botanicals — that feel specific to the place. Creole cuisine, local markets, botanical gardens and dolphin-watching excursions give non-golfers a full and varied holiday alongside those on the course.

What spa facilities are available?

The U Spa at Constance Belle Mare Plage has 25 treatment rooms across two levels, with a comprehensive menu of body treatments, facials and ritual programmes inspired by island traditions. Hydrotherapy facilities, steam rooms and a dedicated relaxation pool complement the treatment offering. It works equally well as a post-round recovery session or a full day of spa-only indulgence.
