Fishing

Big game fishing here means heading out to the deep water off Mauritius's south-west coast, a stretch known for some of the richest fishing grounds in the world, close to the coral barrier reef. LUX* Belle Mare arranges the trip through a specialist charter partner, run by a father-and-son team, including transfers from the resort to the boat launch. Target species include blue and black marlin, mako and tiger sharks, and yellow fin and dog tooth tuna. Conditions stay favourable most of the year, so the line rarely stays quiet for long.
