If you’ve ever fancied swinging a club in a place that feels like a dream come to life, Le Morne Peninsula in Mauritius might just be your ticket.
Imagine this: fairways that sweep gracefully along a bay where the water is so blue, you’d swear someone cranked up the saturation, all set against a jaw-dropping backdrop of rugged mountains. It’s the kind of course that makes you pause mid-round, just to soak it all in.
Welcome to the Paradis Beachcomber Golf Resort & Spa, where luxury and leisure go hand in hand.
Think championship golf on a course that feels like it was plucked from a movie set, paired with fine dining that’s a treat for the taste buds, private villas offering all the seclusion you could want, and views so stunning they’ll have you reaching for your camera at every turn. This isn’t just a golf getaway; it’s an experience you’ll never forget.
If this doesn’t qualify as a golfer’s paradise, I don’t know what does.
Swinging Through Paradise
Let’s start with the showstopper: the course itself. Designed by David Dutton and Tony Johnstone, this 18-hole beauty has been around since 1992, making it the first of its kind on Mauritius.
You’ve got fairways that wind right up to the water’s edge, greens that make you feel like you’re putting into the horizon, and the mighty Le Morne Mountain looming over it all like some kind of natural course guardian.
The course kicks off with a grass-covered practice range, conveniently located right outside the clubhouse and staring straight down the line at the first tee. And then you’re off!
The layout is mostly straight, with a few sneaky doglegs and strategically placed bunkers to keep things interesting. When you reach the par-3 6th, you’ll feel Le Morne’s full presence.
The mountain is right there, giving you a quiet nod of encouragement—or maybe judgment—as you face the 142-yard uphill shot. It’s one of those holes that sticks in your memory long after the scorecard is forgotten.
The 7th, a par-5 dogleg right, leads you to a raised green with water lurking on the right, just to keep you honest. At the 8th, there’s a tight drive to contend with before a water-crossing approach to a green guarded by bunkers.
And the 9th? This one is a real gem, with water running along the right side, daring you to go for it on your second shot.
Luckily, there’s a halfway hut at the turn offering skewers of fresh fruit to get you recharged for what’s next
The Back Nine: Where the Magic Happens
Just when you think you’ve seen it all, the back nine serves up a masterclass in golf course design.
As you approach the 12th, the course treats you to an ocean view, and it sticks around for the 13th as well.
And then comes the 16th hole, which, honestly, could be the most fun on the course.
It’s a short par-4, but you’ll need to decide just how much of the Indian Ocean you want to flirt with to reach the peninsula green.
It’s an all-or-nothing moment that just might become your best story of the trip.
Finally, the course wraps up with the grand 18th. This dogleg right goes over water to a raised green ringed by palm trees, with bunkers ready to catch any lazy approach shots.
It’s the perfect finish to a round that’s equal parts challenge and postcard-worthy scenery. And with greens as well-kept as these, you’ll feel the putts roll true from start to finish.
