MAURITIUS WINDSURFING HOLIDAYS

Why you'll love windsurfing in Mauritius!

  • Beautiful luxury hotels at affordable prices on or near the main windsurfing beaches
  • Excellent value for money
  • Mauritius offers impeccable windsurfing conditions largely due to the combination of incredibly reliable wind, perfect flat water, windsurf lagoons with world class waves at the same spot

The islands of Mauritius and Rodriques (also part of Mauritius) are set in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, just off the coast of south-east Africa. Planet Windsurf can arrange either direct flights to Mauritius from London or Paris (in Europe) or indirect flights via Dubai or Johannesburg if you are considering combining your stay with South Africa or Dubai.

If you asked any well-travelled windsurfer where is the best windsurf destination in the world, then Mauritius would be their answer! Mauritius offers impeccable windsurfing conditions, largely due to the combination of incredibly reliable wind, perfect flat water, windsurf lagoons with world class waves at the same spot, and stunning luxury hotels at affordable prices. A windsurf holiday to Mauritius is one of the best value luxury windsurf holidays available. The reason being that the windy season (May to November) coincides with the low season hotel prices as the bigger tourist market want to avoid the wind. Therefore, as windsurfers, we get the best of both worlds; amazing wind and the best prices!

At Planet Windsurf we know exactly when and where to travel in Mauritius to find the best windsurfing. We have experts travel to Mauritius every summer to make sure we have the most up-to-date hotel information and ensure that we only work with the very best Mauritian windsurf schools and resorts. It is of the utmost importance to us at Planet Windsurf that we select the correct location and hotel for your windsurfing level, budget and resort aspirations. It is always best to speak directly with us to discuss your holiday plans.

Our website is to be used as a point of reference but there is no substitute for speaking directly to an expert windsurf travel advisor. However, as a rough guide we would summarise as follows:

The best time to visit Mauritius for a windsurfing holiday is May through to December. However, the most reliable months are August through to October, but other months are very consistent too.

The southwest have the best conditions. If you want an exquisite luxury hotel with access to the premier kitesurf and windsurf location with flat water and waves then the St Regis in Le Morne is outstanding. Alternative to the St Regis is either LUX Le Morne or Dinarobin which are both a 15-20 minute walk to the windsurf centre. If you don't mind a short drive it opens up a large amount of other properties, including apartments, in the surrounding area. Two properties that are worth a special mention are the Chamarel Retreat (a stunning eco lodge with incredible views over Le Morne) and the Outrigger Hotel in Bel Ombre (a luxury hotel at affordable prices which is only 15 minutes drive away).

Mauritius is a beautiful island in the Indian Ocean, and it is around a 12-hour flight from the UK / Europe. Mauritius is widely recognised as one of the very best windsurfing destinations in the world due to its incredibly reliable wind combined with a great variety of windsurfing conditions, from down-the-line waves to a flat water lagoon, all from the same beach. Combined with stunning luxury hotels at excellent prices right next to the windsurfing area, it is no surprise that a windsurfing holiday to Mauritius is just about as perfect as it gets.

Planet Windsurf introduced Northern Mauritius in 2016 following an increased demand for an alternative to the most famous spot of Le Morne in the South of the island. Although we regard Le Morne as one of the best windsurfing locations in the world it can get quite busy, especially in high season. So if you want to enjoy the amazing wind conditions and atmosphere of Mauritius, but with far fewer windsurfers on the water, Anse Le Raie in Northern Mauritius is worth a look.  Another strong selling point for this part of Mauritius is the big range of amenities, shopping and nightlife that can be found a short drive away in Grand Baie.

As always, here at Planet Windsurf, we are very particular about the accommodation that we offer, and we will only recommend properties that we have personally checked and know to be good. We also make a conscious effort to avoid the ‘package holiday’ type of hotels, as although they can be cheap, they come at a price! In Northern Mauritius, we have some superb high-quality boutique style beachfront properties with fantastic facilities.

Bel Ombre is a beautiful beach resort located in the south-west of Mauritius that still has the atmosphere of authentic Mauritius. The windsurf spot here is perfectly located at the end of Bel Ombre, right in front of the Beach Club. This spot suits all windsurfing levels. The spacious lagoon has flatwater, as well as waves further out at the reef. This is the perfect spot for all windsurfers as it offers a range of good quality but affordable hotels and the Bel Ombre Windsurf Centre. The close proximity to the main windsurf beach and resort amenities suit holidaymakers travelling with non-kiting partners or families.
