Mauritius may be the easiest couples golf trip on earth. The courses are built into the beach resorts, golf often comes with the room, and while one of you plays the other has a lagoon, a spa and the warm Indian Ocean. These are the six resorts we recommend first for couples, where the golf is real and the holiday is paradise, ranked.

On a couples trip to Mauritius the resort matters as much as the course, so we judged the whole stay: the hotel and the beach, the spa and the dining, and how well a non golfing partner is looked after, then the golf itself. The island makes this simple, because almost every good course belongs to a five star beach resort and is included with the room, so the golfer plays and the holiday carries on around them.
Every designer and detail here was checked at the time of writing, and the order is our editorial view, weighted for couples. Heritage leads on the strength of its golf, its hotels and its setting at Bel Ombre, but Anahita, the island round at Ile aux Cerfs and the long beaches of the east and west each shape a different trip. Tell us what the two of you want and our concierge builds and costs it, room, golf and transfers together.
The island's premier golf address and our first pick for couples. The Peter Matkovich Le Chateau course runs through valleys with the ocean on the high points and has hosted the Mauritius Open on the DP World Tour, while the newer La Reserve links alongside it adds a second eighteen. It sits within the Domaine de Bel Ombre and its cluster of five star hotels, spas and beaches, so the whole trip lives in one beautiful place.
Ernie Els built Anahita along the east coast lagoon, a polished par 72 with several holes hard against the water and the island of Ile aux Cerfs offshore. It serves a Four Seasons resort and the Anahita estate, so the standard of lodging, spa and dining is among the highest on the island. Cool, contemporary and beautifully kept, it is a superb couples base on the quieter east.
The most romantic round in Mauritius, and one of the most unusual anywhere. Bernhard Langer's course sits on its own island, reached by speedboat across the lagoon, and threads between forest, water and white sand with the sea in view from almost everywhere. It is as much a day out for a couple as a golf course, the kind of experience that becomes the story of the trip.
A long established luxury address on the east coast, where the Constance resort pairs the Legend course, cut through a former deer park and dense vegetation, with the neighboring Links and a famed beach hotel. It has hosted professional golf, the dining and wine cellar are renowned, and the two courses give a golfer variety without leaving the estate. A polished, classic couples choice.
Setting is everything here. The Paradis course occupies its own peninsula beneath the dramatic Le Morne mountain, a UNESCO landmark, with the lagoon on one side and the beach hotel on the other. The golf is gentle and scenic rather than fearsome, which suits the trip, and the southwest corner adds kite surfing, hiking and some of the island's best sunsets for the days off.
The sunny west coast option, set in the Tamarin valley between the mountains and the bay where dolphins gather offshore. The course rolls over open, savannah like ground with sea and mountain views, and the surrounding west coast, drier and warmer, offers dolphin swims, the Black River gorges and laid back beach towns. A relaxed, scenic base away from the resort strip.

The right beach resort for the two of you, golf included or arranged for the golfer, and the spa, the lagoon and the island for both: tell us roughly when you want to travel and what matters most, and one concierge builds and costs the trip to the head, with no obligation.
Heritage Golf Club at Bel Ombre in the south is our first pick: a Peter Matkovich championship course and a newer links beside a cluster of five star hotels, spas and beaches. Anahita on the east coast, an Ernie Els design at a Four Seasons resort, and the unforgettable island course at Ile aux Cerfs are the strongest alternatives.
Few places are better. The golf resorts are beach hotels first, so a non-golfing partner has the lagoon, the spa, diving, sailing and the dolphins of the west coast while the golfer plays. Many resorts include golf with the room, and the courses are built into the same estate as the beach, which makes a couples trip seamless.
Mauritius is a year round destination, but the cooler, drier months from roughly May to November are the most comfortable for golf, with warm days and lower humidity. The southern hemisphere summer, December to April, is hotter and wetter with occasional cyclone risk, though still popular for a beach focused stay.
Visitor green fees are an indicative 110 to 200 euro for 2026, with resort guests often playing free or at a large discount as part of the room rate, which is why the hotel choice drives the budget. We price the room, the golf and the transfers together. All figures move with season, so always confirm directly before booking.
