I recently had the chance to experience a dream getaway in Mauritius at the luxurious Heritage Le Telfair Golf & Wellness Resort. From welcome drinks on arrival to breathtaking sunsets by the ocean, every moment was designed for relaxation and romance.
Nestled in the heart of the Indian Ocean, Mauritius offers world-class golf, pristine beaches and warm tropical weather. For couples seeking a romantic getaway, Heritage Le Telfair Golf & Wellness Resort on the island’s southern coast is an ideal destination. It's no surprise it is considered one of the best golf resorts in Mauritius.
Blending elegant colonial charm with modern sophistication, this five-star resort is the ideal destination for both golfers and non-gofers, promising the perfect balance of world-class golf, wellness, luxury accommodation and fantastic food and drink.
Here are some highlights of our stay and what makes this five-star resort the perfect destination for a luxury couples' escape.
Getting from the airport to the resort was a breeze, thanks to the experienced sales team at Golfbreaks who organised transfers with Mautourco. This seamless journey set a relaxed tone, allowing us to start our holiday stress-free. It was the perfect way to kick off an unforgettable getaway.
Heritage Le Telfair is set along the tranquil Bel Ombre region, a place known for its untouched natural beauty. The refined accommodation is spread across both stunning tropical gardens and the seafront. Many of these spacious suites and villas open out to views of the turquoise sea, lush gardens, or the rolling golf course.
Each accommodation is exquisitely decorated with French windows, expansive terraces, and modern amenities. The resort also offers a personal butler service to cater to every couple's needs, ensuring every moment of your stay feels special.
On arrival, we were warmly welcomed with a refreshing drink at check-in, setting a relaxed tone for our stay.
Heritage Le Telfair Golf & Wellness Resort boasts two of the best golf courses in Mauritius. The original 18-hole course, La Chateau, is set in the heart of the resort, offering a classic golf experience amid lush surroundings. The latest addition, La Reserve Golf Links, elevates the experience further as the first links-style course in the Indian Ocean, promising an unmatched challenge and scenic beauty.
La Chateau
For avid golfers, La Chateau course is a highlight of the stay. This award-winning 18-hole championship course is regarded as one of the finest in the Indian Ocean and Africa. Designed by renowned golf course architect Peter Matkovich, the course seamlessly blends with its natural surroundings, offering golfers a spectacular setting to play in.
The course itself is challenging yet accessible, with varying terrain and holes that take you through forested hills, lush plains, and even scenic ocean views. For couples seeking a bit of variety, there’s also a 9-hole short course, perfect for a relaxed afternoon of fun or to improve your short game skills.
La Reserve Golf Links
La Reserve Golf Links is another must-play, offering golfers a unique experience on Mauritius’s first and only links-style course. Crafted by acclaimed golf course architects, Louis Oosthuizen and Peter Matkovich, the course was designed to highlight the island's raw natural beauty, with rolling fairways, sandy dunes, and panoramic views of the Indian Ocean.
Additionally, players have access to top-notch practice facilities, including a comprehensive driving range, putting greens, and expert coaching at the Golf Academy. Whether you’re a novice or a seasoned player, La Reserve Golf Links offers an extraordinary golfing experience tailored for enthusiasts and casual players alike.
Heritage Le Telfair is more than just a scenic getaway; it's a sanctuary for wellness and adventure. The resort’s Seven Colours Spa offers a range of treatments inspired by Mauritian heritage and holistic therapies. I enjoyed a rejuvenating massage at the Wellness Pavilion - a beautifully serene experience that left me completely relaxed.
The resort offers much more than the spa, here are some highlights:
