The Indian Ocean island of Mauritius has long been a beloved destination for tourists drawn to its long stretches of white-sand beaches, blue lagoons and coral reefs.

Now, it is gearing up to attract more affluent golf enthusiasts. The 2,040 square kilometers (788 square miles) island — about half the size of Rhode Island — is seeking to lure them with high-end courses. Its 11th such facility, the Harmonie Beachcomber Golf Course designed by Olivier Dongradi, who’s also behind the Château d’Augerville club in France, is scheduled to open in 2026. La Reserve Golf Links, in the remote southern part of Mauritius, opened last year and was signed-off by Peter Matkovich and Louis Oosthuizen.
