This picture-perfect paradise in the Indian Ocean is blessed with luxury resorts and a selection of world-class layouts from the likes of Ernie Els and Bernhard Langer.

Perfect for a golf vacation for Europeans during winter and with a similar time zone (just three hours ahead of France), temperatures average 25°C in February.
