Spot Details
Palmar is another spot up the East coast of Mauritius which is not well-known, over-shadowed by Le Morne, from which it differs drastically.
Palmar is a stretch of relatively narrow lagoon, not very deep, offering several square kilometres of flat water in a generally very stable wind. Ideal for jumping sessions.
Its 45-degree on-shore wind makes it safe and attractive to the beginners. There is by the way a kite-surfing school based in Palmar from April to November inclusively, the winter period I the southern hemisphere. Palmar may not be recommended outside this period.
Accommodation is available in several hotels; 2 to 5-star and luxury resorts. The Emeraude Beach Attitude hotel and its all inclusive accommodation will suit those who intend spending their day riding the lagoon. Facing the long public beach where launching conditions are ideal.
