Situated along one of the most beautiful beaches on the island of Mauritius, Constance Belle Mare Plage offers something for everyone, whether you want to be active and enjoy the many sporting activities available or just relax on a sun lounger or be pampered in the Spa. It is the ideal location for golfers with its two 18-holes championship golf courses.
The resort is located directly on a 2 km long white sandy beach, set in tropical gardens. The beach is protected by an offshore coral reef making it ideal for swimming, water sports and snorkelling.

Inspiration
Rob Smith writes …
“Mark Twain is regularly misquoted as saying that “Golf is a good walk spoiled.” This was actually first said many years after his death, and for golfers is something of a heresy. What he certainly DID say is that "you gather the idea that Mauritius was created first, and then heaven; and that heaven was copied after Mauritius." Regardless of your spiritual views, you cannot argue that this is a sumptuously gorgeous island. Even without the golf, and there are apparently some people for whom this wouldn’t be an issue, it has endless, eye-catching charm. If you then add in its lovely and varied courses, and you have one of golf’s most beautiful destinations.”
