Kite spots Mauritius
These kite spots offer a perfect mix of steady wind, warm water and beautiful landscapes, making Mauritius a top destination for kitesurfing.
Le Morne (South-West coast)
Located on the south-west coast of the island, Le Morne is Mauritius’ most famous kitesurfing area. The location offers several spots, including the shallow lagoon for beginners and the famous One Eye wave for advanced kite surfers.
- Conditions: Constant wind, shallow and calm water in the lagoon, and challenging waves further out.
- Kitehotel: St Regis
Anse La Raie (Northeastern coast)
Anse La Raie is a shallow bay located on the northeastern tip of the island of Mauritius, offering plenty of space and flat, shallow water. Entering the water can be a bit tricky as there is a 5-10 metre wide isle between the rocks where you walk in and if you’re a little insecure about handling the kite you could get into trouble here. The nearby trees don’t make the area easy to launch from, but for advanced kitesurfers this place is a paradise because of the stunning scenery, uncrowded waters and very reliable wind.
- Kitehotel: 20 Degrees South
Belle Mare (East coast)
Located on the east coast of Mauritius, Belle Mare offers beautifully flat water inside a closed turquiose lagoon with no currents or boat traffic. What sets the east coast of Mauritius apart from many other destinations is the variety of organised ‘downwinders’. The east coast is the perfect place to go on a downwinder as the combination of flat water and waves to kite on throughout the journey, along with the crystal clear waters will keep you mesmerised.
- Kitehotel: The Lux Belle Mare
Bel Ombre (South coast)
Bel Ombre is suitable for beginners with a shallow lagoon with side shore / side onshore wind. The launching and landing area is on a sandy beach but the resort facilities will also let you pack your kite away on the grassy areas. The tidal movements can have a big effect on the sea state so its best for beginners to book lessons as the centres know the best times to get out on the water. Planet Kitesurf’s partner centre in Bel Ombre uses North gear and has a variety of rental and instruction options including some amazing downwinder trips.
- Conditions: Good wind and less busy than Le Morne.
- Kitehotel: Heritage Le Telfair
