Why you'll love kitesurfing in Mauritius!

Mauritius offers impeccable kitesurfing conditions due to the combination of incredibly reliable wind, perfect flat water and kitesurf lagoons with world class waves at the same spot

Excellent kitesurfing on the same beach as stunning luxury hotels at affordable prices

Suits all levels of kitesurfers

The Islands of Mauritius and Rodriques (also part of Mauritius) are set in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, just off the coast of southeast Africa. Planet Kitesurf can arrange either direct flights to Mauritius from London or Paris (in Europe) or indirect flights via Dubai or Johannesburg if you are considering combining your stay with South Africa or Dubai.

If you asked any well-travelled kitesurfer where the best kitesurf destination in the world is, Mauritius would be their answer! Mauritius offers impeccable kitesurfing conditions mainly due to the combination of incredibly reliable wind, perfect flat water, kitesurf lagoons with world-class waves at the same spot, and stunning luxury hotels at affordable prices.

The best time to visit Mauritius for a kitesurfing holiday is May through to December. However, the most reliable months are August through to October, but other months are very consistent too.

A kitesurf holiday to Mauritius is one of the best value luxury kitesurf holidays available. The reason is that the windy season (May to November) coincides with the low season hotel prices as the bigger tourist market wants to avoid the wind. Therefore, as kitesurfers, we get the best of both worlds: amazing wind and the best prices!

We have experts travel to Mauritius every year to make sure we have the most up-to-date hotel information and ensure that we only work with the very best Mauritius kitesurf schools and resorts. We can also combine the best Mauritius kitesurf locations with other areas such as Reunion Island (great for a few days trekking and adventure), stunning wellness and spa retreats in the north where the weather is warmer or even combine with another country such as South Africa or Dubai.

It is always best to speak directly with us to discuss your holiday plans. Our website is to be used as a point of reference but there is no substitute for speaking directly to an expert kitesurf travel advisor.

Le Morne Kitesurf Holidays

Mauritius is a beautiful island in the Indian Ocean, just 12 hours flight from the UK/Europe, with very little time difference. It is widely recognised as one of the very best kitesurfing destinations in the world due to reliable wind and a great variety of kitesurf conditions. Kitesurfing from down-the-line waves to a large flat water lagoon, combined with stunning luxury hotels, at excellent prices, right on the kitesurfing beach of Le Morne. Unsurprisingly, a kitesurf holiday to Mauritius is just about as perfect as it gets.

The iconic Le Morne Peninsula, nestled at the base of the majestic Le Morne Brabant Mountain, provides the perfect setting. Beginners can practice in a shallow lagoon with knee-to-waist-deep water, flat surfaces, and steady onshore winds. This area is also ideal for freestyle training. Just 200 meters away, the conditions transform with side-shore winds and light chop, offering excellent bump-and-jump opportunities. For wave riders, the reef 400 meters from shore delivers everything from beginner-friendly swells to expert-level challenges.

Le Morne Kite Lagoon - Le Morne is one of the world’s most versatile and picturesque spots for kitesurfing (as well as wingfoiling and windsurfing). The lagoon offers flat, shallow water that is perfect for beginners or improvers who want a safe, shallow area to gain confidence. New for 2025 is an impressive Kitesurf centre with a host of the newest Duotone Kitesurf equipment, as well as Wingfoil and Windsurf gear.

Le Point / JW Marriott - Right next to the JW Marriott, there is a centre for renting Kitesurf, Wingfoil and Windsurf equipment, as well as a storage facility. Planet Travel clients staying at JW Marriott benefit from free storage and safety rescue cover. This spot is for independent kitesurfers, who can confidently stay up wind.

Premium Service- For an unparalleled experience, Planet Travel clients staying at the JW Marriott can use the ‘premium services’, including private half-day sessions tailored to your needs. Guests are taken by boat to the best conditions of the day, often to secluded spots with minimal crowds. Instructors provide personalised lessons in waist-deep water, using radio communication to guide you. With a dedicated instructor and skipper, you’ll enjoy a safe, enjoyable, and luxurious learning experience.

The waves at Le Morne - Le Morne is famous for its amazing waves. There are four main wave spots, catering to all skill levels:

Little Reef: A great starting point for beginners looking to try wave riding.
Chameau and Manawa: Located farther offshore, these waves are larger and more powerful but remain accessible for intermediate riders.
One Eye: A legendary wave with shallow water and immense power, exclusively for expert riders equipped with their own gear.

The Wind in Le Morne - The prevailing winds in Le Morne blows from the east or southeast, typically offering side-shore wind from the left. During the Southern Hemisphere summer (November to March), wind speeds average 12 to 20 knots. In winter (April to October), the trade winds are stronger, reaching 15 to 26 knots plus. The winter months are especially popular among Kitesurfers due to their consistent and powerful winds.

Le Morne in Mauritius is truly an Ocean Sports paradise, offering unmatched diversity and conditions for all levels. Whether you’re just starting your kitesurfing journey or looking to conquer expert waves, Le Morne delivers an unforgettable experience in a breathtaking setting.

Belle Mare Kitesurf Holidays

On the east coast of Mauritius, 1km south from Belle Mare village, lays the picturesque beach Palmar. Palmar, like Le Morne on the south coast, is world renowned for being an incredibly beautiful beach offering a wide variety of watersports. Both destinations are must see kitesurf, SUP, and surf destinations. The kiting at Belle Mare offers beautifully flat and uncrowded water inside a closed turquoise 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.

Rodrigues Island Kitesurf Holidays

Surrounded by a crystal clear lagoon in the Indian Ocean, is the secluded island of Rodrigues. The small, windy island is located around 400 miles off the coast of Mauritius. The entire island is only 5 miles by 11 miles, but for miles there is perfectly flat shallow water. Whilst on the outside, the reefs are constantly battered by the oceans swells. The flatness of the lagoons water makes this an absolute speed paradise, and is regularly described as the fastest place on the planet.

To get to Rodrigues, you need to take a connection in Mauritius where we have two other amazing kitesurf destinations, Le Morne which is great for flat water, and has some of the world most renowned waves. The other is Belle Mare which is another flat water paradise, and offers some amazing downwinders. Planet can easily combine these destinations to make you an amazing kitesurf holiday in the Indian Ocean.

Northern Mauritius Kitesurf Holidays

Planet Kitesurf introduced Northern Mauritius following an increased demand for an alternative to the most famous spot of Le Morne, in the south of the island, and Belle Mare in the West. Although we regard Le Morne as one of the best kitesurf locations in the world, it can get quite busy, especially in high season. So if you want to enjoy the amazing wind conditions and atmosphere of Mauritius, but with far fewer kiters on the water, Anse Le Raie in Northern Mauritius is worth a look. Another strong selling point for this part of Mauritius is the big range of amenities, shopping, and nightlife that can be found a short drive away in Grand Baie.

As always, here at Planet Kitesurf we are very particular about the accommodation that we offer, and we will only recommend properties that we have personally checked and know to be good. We also make a conscious effort to avoid the package holiday type of hotels as, although they can be cheap, they come at a price! In Northern Mauritius we have some superb high quality boutique style beachfront properties that are perfect for couples, while others have some fantastic family facilities.

Bel Ombre Kitesurf Holidays

Bel Ombre is a beautiful beach resort located in the south-west of Mauritius that still has the atmosphere of authentic Mauritius. The kite spot here is perfectly located at the end of Bel Ombre, right in front of the Beach Club. This spot suits all kitesurfing levels.

The spacious lagoon has flatwater, as well as waves further out at the reef. This is the perfect spot for all kitesurfers as it offers a range of good quality but affordable hotels and the Bel Ombre Kitesurf Centre.

Pointe DEsny Kitesurf Holidays

Pointe d'Esny is situated on the South East coast of Mauritius. Boasting the island’s whitest stretch of beach, and located a mere 15-minutes drive from the airport, Pointe d'Esny offers a secluded, peaceful, location in one of Mauritius' untouched areas. Offering a tropical paradise setting, fit for any postcard, this part of Mauritius boasts the largest lagoon on the island. Not far away is the charming historical village of Mahebourg, however, the real charm of Pointe d'Esny is that it is located away from the crowds and commercial resorts found elsewhere in Mauritius.

The large flat water lagoon, with its light to moderate winds, provides a haven for foilers and those who want to learn how to kite foil.
