Kitesurf, golf and seaplane flights – 3 experiences near Anbalaba

Kitesurf just minutes from Anbalaba

Le Morne, the iconic kitesurfing spot

Just a few minutes from Domaine d’Anbalaba, Le Morne is one of the world’s most renowned kitesurfing spots. Its protected lagoon, consistent winds and postcard-perfect scenery make it a must for riders of all levels.

Conditions are ideal almost all year round: shallow turquoise waters, safe learning zones, and more technical areas for experienced riders looking to fully harness the trade winds.

Thanks to the acceleration effect created by the surrounding mountain landscape, the spot often benefits from stronger wind conditions than elsewhere on the island, with an increase of around 5 to 10 knots.

Beyond the lagoon, the coral reef opens the door to internationally famous waves that have made Le Morne a legendary destination for experienced kitesurfers. Among them, One Eye is arguably the most iconic: a fast, hollow and demanding wave reserved for experts. Further offshore, Manawa offers a larger, more regular swell, providing an equally impressive but different riding experience.

Kite Globing, a kitesurf school just 5 minutes from the estate

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced kitesurfer, everything is designed to make the experience simple and accessible. Through its partner Kite Globing, Domaine d’Anbalaba can arrange the rental of state-of-the-art equipment or lessons with experienced instructors.

Set in the stunning lagoon of Bel Ombre, within a beachfront club, you can enjoy a seamless and unforgettable kitesurfing session in a truly idyllic setting.

Golf at Heritage Golf Club: one of the finest courses in Mauritius

Just three minutes from Domaine d’Anbalaba, Heritage Golf Club stands as one of the true golfing gems of the Indian Ocean.

Set in the heart of Bel Ombre, its two championship courses offer a unique playing experience, blending lush tropical nature with spectacular ocean views.

The Golf du Château, designed by Peter Matkovich, unfolds across an exceptional green setting of palm trees, water features and gently rolling terrain. It has been repeatedly awarded Best Golf Course in the Indian Ocean, confirming its status as a regional benchmark.

Alongside it, La Réserve Golf Links, created in collaboration with British Open champion Louis Oosthuizen, brings a more contemporary approach to the game. It is the only modern links-style course in the region, featuring open fairways, coastal winds and a more technical, strategic playing experience.

Heritage Golf Club is consistently ranked among the world’s leading golf resorts, combining sporting excellence with an outstanding natural environment.

But golf in Mauritius is also a story.

Since the Mauritius Gymkhana Club, founded in 1844 and considered one of the oldest golf clubs in the Southern Hemisphere, the island has developed a strong golfing culture. Today, Mauritius offers a wide variety of internationally designed courses set within spectacular natural landscapes.

Playing golf in Mauritius means playing between ocean and mountains, under perfect tropical conditions, in a destination where golf is truly a way of life.

And from Anbalaba, everything is effortless: green fees, transfers, tee-time bookings… everything is taken care of for you.

Seaplane flights from La Prairie: flying over Le Morne lagoon

Just a few minutes from Domaine d’Anbalaba, La Prairie beach offers one of the most spectacular experiences in Mauritius: taking off by seaplane directly over the lagoon.

This is where, on a still-preserved beach beloved by locals, you can board a unique flight over the waters off Le Morne Brabant and admire its famous underwater waterfall.

The experience begins the moment you arrive: pale sand, shallow turquoise waters and uninterrupted views of one of Mauritius’ most iconic landscapes. Then comes take-off. The seaplane glides across the water, gathers speed and gently lifts into the sky above the lagoon.

From above, the scenery is breathtaking: coral reefs, endless shades of blue, lush green mountains and the wild southern coastline of Mauritius.

It is a rare experience, blending emotion and contemplation, revealing the island’s beauty from an entirely new perspective.

Once again, Domaine d’Anbalaba makes everything effortless, coordinating the excursion with its partner Lagoon Flight: transport, booking and timing are all taken care of.
