Mastering the technique and enjoying your first unaided ride across the water is an unforgettable moment. But it takes hours of building confidence, muscle memory and skill before you get to that point (unless you\u2019re lucky enough to be a natural, of course). Which means that you\u2019re going to end up in the water a fair few times before you get up and riding. And you\u2019ll be using muscles you never even knew you had. After the first couple of days, before your body fully adjusts to this new pursuit, it\u2019s natural to feel a little sore.<\/p>\n<p>All of which makes learning in a luxury beachside resort highly recommended. What better way to soothe aching muscles or mentally revise what you\u2019ve learned that day than with a massage or relaxing soak in a luxurious spa? What can be more enticing to get up the next day and try again than having your accommodation just yards from the beach? And how better to celebrate your eventual conquest of the basics than by sipping sunset cocktails by the stunning resort pool?<\/p>\n<p>With this in mind, here are five of our favourite luxury beach hotels where you can learn to windsurf.<\/p>\n<h5>St Regis, Le Morne, Mauritius<\/h5>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"3983\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.planetwindsurfholidays.com\/blog\/romantic-experiences-windsurf-holiday-st-regis-mauritius\/st-regis-mauritius-resort\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.planetwindsurfholidays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/st-regis-mauritius-resort-e1517999187845.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,534\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"st-regis-mauritius-resort\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.planetwindsurfholidays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/st-regis-mauritius-resort-250x167.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.planetwindsurfholidays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/st-regis-mauritius-resort-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3983 size-full\" title=\"st-regis-mauritius-resort\" src=\"http:\/\/www.planetwindsurfholidays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/st-regis-mauritius-resort-e1517999187845.jpg\" alt=\"st-regis-mauritius-resort\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\"><\/p>\n<p>The family-friendly <a href=\"http:\/\/www.planetwindsurfholidays.com\/hotels\/mauritius\/le-morne\/the-st-regis-mauritius-resort-1127\">St Regis<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.planetwindsurfholidays.com\/countries\/mauritius\/mus\">Mauritius<\/a> boasts an impressive array of all-inclusive activities, as well as luxury accommodation at unbeatable prices.
