Olympic Challenge No. 1: Try offshore surfing in Mauritius
Tamarin, on the west coast of Mauritius, becomes the place to be during the southern winter, from July to August. Surfing enthusiasts will find ideal conditions thanks to the swell generated by the trade winds. Tamarin’s waves, renowned for their strength and stability, provide the perfect opportunity to experience your own personal Olympic Games. While they are no match for the official competition venue, Teahupo’o, on the island of Tahiti, they do make for some memorable moments.
Visiting Mauritius in this season is a great way to take full advantage of these unique conditions. The proximity of Marguery Villas, our luxury residential complex, adds a touch of comfort and convenience, offering quality accommodation just minutes from the Tamarin surf spot. After an intense day on the waves, surfers can relax in an idyllic setting, combining serenity and luxury.
Mauritius in July and August is not just a holiday destination, but a real adventure for surfing fans. Never ridden a wave? Here are our two recommendations for an introduction:
