Golf and Chill at Beachcomber Resorts Mauritius

From Tee Time to Tide Time in Tropical Paradise

Some sounds have a magnetic quality. The beat of a drum, the swoosh of the ocean and the ping of a perfect golf shot. They have the ability to make time stand still, causing all other things to fall away. Laced with cerulean waters, Mauritius is a place to hum to the sound of your own tune, whether you seek an exotic getaway, family indulgence or championship golf. Here, lush, volcanic landscapes cascade into sea vistas and amongst them lie some of the Indian Ocean’s most compelling golf experiences, anchored by the Beachcomber Resorts. Guests have privileged access, complimentary transfers and preferential green fees to two exceptional courses: Paradis Golf Club and Mont Choisy Le Golf. For those who prefer other activities, land and non-motorised water sports as well as all kids clubs are complimentary at all Beachcomber Resorts.
