Ambre Mauritius

Ambre Mauritius sits in Palmar on the east coast, roughly an hour from Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport and Port Louis, with Ile aux Cerfs about 20 minutes away. The resort runs along 700 metres of white sand beach on a sheltered bay, backed by a lagoon that's home to tropical fish and marine life worth snorkelling over. The location strikes a useful balance: close enough to the airport and capital that you're not spending half your holiday in transit, but far enough out that you're properly on the coast with the beach and lagoon right there.

The all-inclusive setup keeps the on-site costs predictable, with dining and drinks covered and a good spread of activities available. Some motorised water sports and premium options may carry a supplement, so it's worth checking what's included for your dates. Water sports are laid on extensively, from windsurfing and aqua gym to banana rides and parasailing, so there's plenty to keep non-golfers entertained while you're out on the course. The pool sits at the heart of the resort and works equally well for proper swimming or just floating about with a drink.

Who is this for? Golfers, couples or small groups who want an easy all-inclusive base on Mauritius' east coast, with straightforward access to Ile aux Cerfs and plenty to do off the course.

Who is it best for? Mixed-ability groups who like a 'golf plus beach' split, and anyone who values simple logistics (short transfers, organised shuttles) over five-star formality.
