Contoured over an idyllic peninsula on the southwest corner of the island, the 18 hole course at the Paradis Golf Club offers stunning vistas of a turquoise coloured lagoon on one side and the brooding bulk of Le Morne Mountain on the other.
Built within the grounds of the 150 ha. Resort, golfers can challenge the course by day, relax at the exclusive Spa by Clarins in the afternoon and listen to the seductive sounds of the sega during dinner.
Palms and flame trees line many of the 18 fine fairways at the 6828 metre Ernie Els designed Four Season Golf Club Mauritius at Anahita. A 130 year old tortoise silently watches the proceedings from just beyond the 9th hole at this very service oriented golf course.
