Why Are Golf Estates So Popular in Mauritius?
Mauritius, renowned for its white sandy beaches and turquoise lagoons, is also a premier destination for golf enthusiasts. With a deep-rooted golfing heritage dating back to 1844 when it became the third country in the world to adopt the sport during British rule Mauritius continues to attract international players and investors alike. Today, the island features ten 18-hole and three 9-hole championship golf courses, many of which are internationally acclaimed for their design, location, and lifestyle offering.
Golf in Mauritius is more than just a sport—it’s a lifestyle. Each golf estate is carefully designed to offer a world-class experience that blends luxury living, scenic beauty, and premium amenities. Whether you’re retiring, relocating, or investing, these estates offer the perfect balance of leisure and lifestyle. According to Top 100 Golf Courses, Heritage Villas Valriche ranks second in Mauritius, Mont Choisy is placed ninth, and Azuri Golf Course was recently awarded World’s Best Par 3 Golf Course at the 10th World Golf Awards.
Mont Choisy Golf & Beach Estate – Grand Baie
Located in the vibrant north of Mauritius, Mont Choisy Golf & Beach Estate is ideally positioned between the lively town of Grand Baie and the serene 1.5km stretch of white sand beach at Mont Choisy. This prestigious estate has become the most sought-after address in the north of the island. More than just a place to live, Mont Choisy offers a welcoming community atmosphere where residents enjoy a championship 18-hole golf course designed by Peter Matkovich, a modern clubhouse, a growing retail hub, and access to wellness facilities.
