Any resort golf course needs to provide a challenge for the better player, yet offer a playable and enjoyable experience for the recreational golfer. Le Golf du Chateau has found the right balance and variation in length of holes, width of fairways, green sizes and ultimately the risk and reward element that is crucial on any championship layout. This is a golf course, designed by South African architect Peter Matkovitch, with passion, love and attention to detail.
The resort offers two floodlit tennis courts, both of which are naturally sheltered by the landscaped gardens that surround them. The Concierge can provide a playing partner or for those wishing to improve their game, can arrange a private coaching session with a tennis professional.
From dolphin watching to kayaking, the activities arranged by the team at the boathouse include most aquatic pursuits. The fully qualified staff arranges regular group sailing and windsurfing initiation classes, along with snorkeling sessions and kayaking.

Alongside the lush landscape gardens of Shanti Maurice lies a bountiful herb and vegetable garden, providing the Chef with fresh and organic ingredients for the day’s dishes. The garden plays home to over thirty varieties of herbs and vegetables, and depending on the season, citronella, rosemary, basil, mint, and coriander are grown, along with vegetables such as beetroot, aubergine, broccoli and onion.

With exquisite, perfectly prepared dishes and a setting offering views over a starlit Indian Ocean, the restaurant turns dinner into a memorable occasion.
