Mauritius
A personal favourite of staff member Stuart, Long Beach Mauritius offers not one but two world class golf courses: the Ile Aux Cerf Golf Club and the Anahita Golf Club. Facing an extensive seafront along the famous Belle Mare Beach, this beautiful resort offers a wide variety of experiences to suit any tourist, including a sea-inspired spa, swimming pools, a climbing wall, water sport activities; the list goes on and on. Long Beach is also ideal for families, with ANGELS and WAVES club catering for children and teenagers up to the age of 17.
South Africa
For a different kind of golfing holiday, our MD Mark and his wife Marcella couldn’t wait to take the Rovos Rail Golf Safari, a total adventure, and a once-in-a-lifetime kind of trip. With 8 nights aboard the Rovos Rail train, guests get the opportunity to play on 5 different gold courses, including Leopard Creek, Royal Swazi, Durban Country Club, Champagne Sports Resort and Sun City Lost City – a totally unique experience for any keen golfer. The cars have a charming Victorian atmosphere, and there is a focus placed on maintaining an old-style version of travel. There is no radios or television sets on board – but the stunning backdrop of South Africa is sure to enchant every guest and passenger on board. It’s an absolute must for golfers and non-golfers alike – we can’t recommend it highly enough.
Abu Dhabi
For the Formula I fans out there, you will recognise the iconic Yas Viceroy Hotel as the modern curvy building in the middle of the Yas Marina Formula 1 Circuit on Yas Island. This incredible hotel boasts 499 rooms and suites and 12 different restaurants. It’s a beautiful, modern setting, and guests can also expect to play 4 rounds at Abu Dhabi Golf Club, Saadiyat Beach Golf Club, and Yas Links Golf Club. We love this hotel’s setting at its modernist style – it’s the perfect resort for the golfer who wants variety without any compromise on quality. If this sounds like your scene, contact Stuart who can help you plan your trip.
