Le Morne

Mauritius

Le Morne in Mauritius wraps world-class kitesurfing in postcard scenery, beneath a dramatic UNESCO-listed mountain at the island's southwest tip. Inside the reef lies a vast turquoise lagoon of flat, shallow water ideal for learning and freestyle, while just outside breaks the famous One Eye, a powerful left-hander that draws wave riders from around the globe. Steady trade winds blow from May to November, the local season. The contrast of safe lagoon and serious wave makes Le Morne special, but the outer reef is strictly for the advanced. A bucket-list spot for confident riders chasing both flat water and waves.
