KITING SETUP

Le Morne in Mauritius is one of the most diverse and exceptional kitesurf locations on the planet. Its huge, sheltered lagoon offers perfect flat-water conditions for beginners and improvers to progress safely, using the latest equipment and expert private instruction. For the more experienced, Le Morne is also home to some of the world’s best wave spots, with three wave spots to choose from depending on your level and confidence. Whether you’re blasting inside the lagoon or carving down a glassy wave, the combination of warm, crystal-clear Indian Ocean waters and breathtaking mountain scenery creates a truly unforgettable experience. At Le Morne, nature, wind and luxury meet in perfect harmony – it’s no wonder this spot has become THE bucket list destination for kiters worldwide.

WHEN IS BEST TO GO

Mauritius enjoys excellent wind almost year round, but the main wind season is May to December, with the absolute prime months being July to October. While the island’s tropical climate can bring short rain showers, these become far less frequent from August onward, when skies are clearer and the weather more stable.

Planet Travel can offer exceptional discounts before the busy October peak season, making July to September the perfect combination of value for money, wind and climate. With steady winds, warm turquoise waters, and exceptional value, it’s the ideal moment for an unforgettable kitesurf escape in paradise.

NO WIND?

Mauritius offers far more than incredible kiting. The island has some unique day trips and adventures, from exploring lush mountain landscapes to visiting Casela Nature Parks, where you can even walk with lions! There is also great surfing, scuba diving, paddleboarding and all the other wind sports.

For those looking to extend their journey, Mauritius combines effortlessly with a South African safari or a visit to the awe-inspiring Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. Together, they create the ultimate African adventure – from wind and waves to wildlife and waterfalls, blending tropical luxury with the raw beauty of the continent.

Getting There

Mauritius Airport is well serviced, with direct and indirect flight from many key European airports. Transfer time is 90 minutes.

Kite Options

Average wind is 20-30 knots, so mostly you see 7 to 12m kites. Twintippers and wave riders are equally happy here. High-quality Duotone rental in case you need anything.

Which Wetsuit?

Inside the huge lagoon 3mm shorty is perfect. Outside the lagoon, on the bigger wave spots, a 4/3 is good (although you can still get away with a 3/2).

Beer

Glass of wine £6-12, or bring your own.

Typical Dinner

A highlight of the St Regis is the food. The included breakfast is exceptional and expansive. For dinner, choose from five top quality options, including an exceptional Japanese. For lunch, super cheap fresh fruit or noodles on the beach is perfect.

Late Night

St Regis Resort offers well-balanced entertainment, including live music, a weekly Mauritian night with a traditional Sega show, and a sunset champagne sabrage ceremony.
