Have you spent hours trawling the internet looking for a kiting holiday that ticks all your boxes? Well, here at Planet Kitesurf, we think that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.planetkitesurfholidays.com\/countries\/mauritius\/mus\">Mauritius<\/a> comes pretty close to perfection. Here are just&nbsp;six reasons why you should seriously consider Mauritius for your next kiting holiday:<\/p>\n<h5>#1 The conditions<\/h5>\n<p>The windy season runs from May to November, so it\u2019s long and reliable. The combination of reliable wind and impeccable flat water at big kiting lagoons as well as&nbsp;world-class waves means Mauritius has pretty much got the lot in terms of conditions. And in certain destinations, such as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.planetkitesurfholidays.com\/resorts\/mauritius\/le-morne\">Le Morne<\/a>, you can even find all of this off the same beach!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"5994\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.planetkitesurfholidays.com\/blog\/6-reasons-kitesurf-mauritius\/kitefoil-mauritius\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.planetkitesurfholidays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/kitefoil-mauritius.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,534\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"kitefoil-mauritius\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.planetkitesurfholidays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/kitefoil-mauritius.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.planetkitesurfholidays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/kitefoil-mauritius.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5994 size-full\" title=\"kitefoil-mauritius\" src=\"https:\/\/www.planetkitesurfholidays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/kitefoil-mauritius.jpg\" alt=\"kitefoil-mauritius\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\"><\/p>\n<h5>#2 The kitesurfing spots<\/h5>\n<p>The plain and simple truth is that in Mauritius you have a choice of some of the best kiting spots on the planet. Imagine being able to kite at three or four different spots&nbsp;all on the same trip. Well in Mauritius this is possible! Each spot offers unique conditions for different skill levels so you can choose the one that works for you or change things up depending on the weather. You can even enjoy a downwind adventure between some of the spots.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"5996\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.planetkitesurfholidays.com\/blog\/6-reasons-kitesurf-mauritius\/kitesurfing-mauritius\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.planetkitesurfholidays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/kitesurfing-mauritius.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,384\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"kitesurfing-mauritius\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.planetkitesurfholidays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/kitesurfing-mauritius.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.planetkitesurfholidays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/kitesurfing-mauritius.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5996 size-full\" title=\"kitesurfing-mauritius\" src=\"https:\/\/www.planetkitesurfholidays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/kitesurfing-mauritius.jpg\" alt=\"kitesurfing-mauritius\" width=\"800\" height=\"384\"><\/p>\n<h5>#3 The culture<\/h5>\n<p>Mauritius is a real melting pot of cultures and traditions, but the people are super friendly. All types of people and a variety of religions sit side by side here and yet, as an example of the rest of the world, everybody gets along. This also translates into the food which is an amazing blend of cuisine from all of these cultures. With French, Dutch, British, Arabic and other influences abounding around the islands, it\u2019s perhaps not surprising that there is rich culture and varied cuisine on offer everywhere you look.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"5995\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.planetkitesurfholidays.com\/blog\/6-reasons-kitesurf-mauritius\/kite-mauritius\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.planetkitesurfholidays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/kite-mauritius.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,534\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"kite-mauritius\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.planetkitesurfholidays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/kite-mauritius.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.planetkitesurfholidays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/kite-mauritius.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5995 size-full\" title=\"kite-mauritius\" src=\"https:\/\/www.planetkitesurfholidays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/kite-mauritius.jpg\" alt=\"kite-mauritius\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\"><\/p>\n<h5>#4 The accommodation<\/h5>\n<p>Mauritius is probably best known as a luxury beach holiday destination with world-class hotels. And as the kiting season coincides with the off-peak tourism period, you can usually find great deals for even the most luxurious accommodation options. Multiple restaurants, free kids clubs, all-inclusive activities and prime beachfront locations are just some of the hotel facilities you have to look forward to.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"4791\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.planetkitesurfholidays.com\/blog\/affordable-luxury-kitesurf-holidays\/st-regis-villa\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.planetkitesurfholidays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/07\/St-Regis-Villa.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,471\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"St-Regis-Villa-leMorne\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.planetkitesurfholidays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/07\/St-Regis-Villa-250x147.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.planetkitesurfholidays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/07\/St-Regis-Villa.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4791 size-full\" title=\"St-Regis-Villa-leMorne\" src=\"https:\/\/www.planetkitesurfholidays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/07\/St-Regis-Villa.jpg\" alt=\"St-Regis-Villa-leMorne\" width=\"800\" height=\"471\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.planetkitesurfholidays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/07\/St-Regis-Villa.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.planetkitesurfholidays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/07\/St-Regis-Villa-250x147.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.planetkitesurfholidays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/07\/St-Regis-Villa-768x452.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.planetkitesurfholidays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/07\/St-Regis-Villa-600x353.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.planetkitesurfholidays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/07\/St-Regis-Villa-750x442.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.planetkitesurfholidays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/07\/St-Regis-Villa-380x224.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.planetkitesurfholidays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/07\/St-Regis-Villa-310x183.jpg 310w, https:\/\/www.planetkitesurfholidays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/07\/St-Regis-Villa-360x212.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.planetkitesurfholidays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/07\/St-Regis-Villa-260x153.jpg 260w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h5>#5 Access<\/h5>\n<p>Mauritius might be in the Indian Ocean but there are direct flights available from London throughout the year.
