Ernie Els & Bernhard Langer Golf Courses
Home to two exceptional 18-hole courses, Anahita Golf & Spa Resort is on the bucket list of many golfers. Guests staying here can play on both, with one green fee and 55 practice balls per person, per night. The first of the two courses, Anahita Golf, is a challenging par-72 championship course beside the main resort. Built to USGA standards, it has large fairways and five sets of tees. Six of the holes lie beside the ocean and the final shot is something very special indeed. The course hosted the Mauritian Open for the first time in November 2018. Equally spectacular are the 18 holes on Ile aux Cerfs par-72 championship golf course, accessed via a short complimentary ferry crossing, with its own 300-metre beach, seafood grill restaurant and bar for after the game.
