In the south-west corner of Mauritius, Heritage Awali Golf & Spa Resort occupies an enviable position beside the Bel Ombre Nature Reserve, with the Indian Ocean stretching out beyond its beach. The five-star all-inclusive hotel carries a relaxed, African-influenced character — lush tropical vegetation around the pools, a renovated 3,000-square-metre wellness and spa with 12 treatment rooms, hammams, sauna, chill pool and steam room, and an impressive choice of ten restaurants running from beachside to clubhouse.
Two championship courses give Heritage Awali a strong claim to be the finest golf destination in the Indian Ocean. Le Château Golf spans 100 hectares around a 19th-century château, with mature trees, water features and five tee positions making it accessible across handicap ranges — and its DP World Tour pedigree speaks to the quality of the conditioning. La Réserve Golf Links, designed with Open Champion Louis Oosthuizen and opened in December 2023, is the only links course in the Indian Ocean, offering panoramic ocean vistas from elevated Bel Ombre terrain. The Golfzon Leadbetter Academy provides excellent practice facilities alongside both layouts.
The all-inclusive format removes all the planning pressure, while the Bel Ombre Nature Reserve adds an optional backdrop of tropical hiking and biodiversity for afternoons away from the fairways. A Mauritius golf holiday that combines heritage links, Indian Ocean luxury and genuine all-inclusive ease — Heritage Awali delivers on every front.
