Nestled on Mauritius's east coast, The Bay Club at Anahita captures everything that makes the island special: turquoise lagoons, mountain backdrops and year-round sunshine, all wrapped around a championship golf course that's become one of the headline golf experiences in Mauritius. Ernie Els was handed a spectacular canvas here, and he's delivered a layout that weaves through coastal forest and along the water's edge, offering a test that's every bit as demanding as it is photogenic.
The resort sits within a 213-hectare estate on the island's sheltered east coast, where the trade winds are gentler than the exposed south and the lagoon stays calm most of the year. It's the sort of place where you can knock out 18 holes in the morning, spend the afternoon on the beach or by the pool, then settle in for a proper meal without ever leaving the property. The vibe is relaxed but polished, with enough facilities to keep non-golfers happy and a layout that rewards golfers who can manage their game rather than just grip it and rip it.
Who is this for? Golfers chasing a bucket-list course in paradise, couples looking to combine serious golf with luxury and downtime, and groups or families who want a resort that caters to all abilities and interests.
Who is it best for? Mid-to-low handicappers who'll appreciate the strategic challenge and coastal drama of the Ernie Els layout, plus anyone seeking a high-end Indian Ocean golf holiday with world-class facilities and year-round sunshine.
