Poste de Flacq is a true legend among resort locales in Mauritius—literally! The championship Legend golf course, located within this north-east-coast enclave is home to the Johnnie Walker Classic and the Mauritius Open. Known for unsurpassed island scenery and an ecologically sensitive design, the velvety greens of the Legend are but the most famous among three different championship courses found in Poste de Flacq. Of course, along with top-tier golfing comes every premium, country-club amenity imaginable, including spa services, fitness centres, air-conditioned indoor game courts, and clay tennis courts with night lighting. Add to all this the thrills of scuba diving, snorkelling, and deep sea fishing, and you have Poste de Flacq in a nutshell—a bastion of tropical luxury.

The Links is another premium, 18-hole golf course set within Poste de Flacq. Positioned to overlook the most beautiful beach on Mauritius' east coast, and climbing to a clubhouse set on the highest point of its gently rolling hills, The Links is known for its panoramic views. The eco-conscious designers utilised indigenous forest and local volcanic rock to set an intriguing stage for memorable days of challenging golfing in perfect weather. Advanced players here are particularly drawn to the six holes played around an inland lake. There is great controversy among Poste de Flacq golfers as to which is a superior course: the Legend or the Links. Either way, be prepared to spend your first time on either course simply mesmerised by the landscape.

The Lemuria is a third championship course located in Poste de Flacq. This one is known for extensive palm tree landscaping that gives onto an extremely hilly final section—a perfect spot for catching glimpses of dolphins at play in the ocean, frigatebirds and albatross gliding through the sky, and a combination of local fishing boats and luxury yachts, all coexisting peacefully in the placid waters off Poste de Flacq.

Another sight not to be missed while visiting serene and scenic Poste de Flacq is the local Hindu temple. The glories of its fluid lines, feminine curves, lotus-topped spire, and figures of the Gods are emphasised by a gleaming white colour that makes the monumental edifice easily visible from far out at sea. Whether you come to the temple for a pilgrimage, sight seeing, or photographic opportunities, the grand and unusual site is one you won't soon forget.

Poste de Flacq holds wonders for everyone. Whether you enjoy premium golf, sport fishing, scuba, swimming, beach combing, or just want to be pampered by the local spa services, you'll find your bliss along the beaches, golf courses, and waterways of lovely Poste de Flacq.
