COURSE ORGANISATION AND SAFETY
We understand that besides professional tuition, the most important thing when it comes to learning to kitesurf is time to practice. This is why we organise all of our lessons in a way to maximize your time with the kite, without sacrificing your safety of course.
Here in ION CLUB Anse La Raie, you won’t find large group lessons where 4 students or more are sharing one kite between each other. Whenever the conditions allow it, our instructors will make sure you have your own kite to practice, train, and make mistakes in a safe and protected environment.
FLEXBILITY
We understand that choosing a kitesurf lesson package from home might be difficult. Don´t worry! No matter which package you choose, if during the lesson the instructor realizes that another package would be more suitable for you, you can always change that on site. You will never have to join a lesson, which actually doesn´t suit your expectations or level.
After every session your instructor will give you detailed feedback and recommendation on how to continue – no matter which course you initially booked. Your success and progress is all that matters to us!

A word about
ION CLUB Anse la Raie
The ION CLUB Anse la Raie center is located right next to the Paradise Cove Boutique Hotel, and across the small lagoon from the Lagoon Attitude Hotel. Guests staying at the Paradise Cove Hotel are directly on the spot, and those staying at the Lagoon Attitude only have to walk 15 minutes to reach our ION CLUB center. Finally those spending their holiday at the Zilwa Attitude Hotel have to come by car to the Anse la Raie spot, about 10 to 15 minutes by road. A shuttle is offered by the center for clients who are within a radius of about 5 to 10 km.
With nearly 300 days of wind per year, what other destination can compete with Mauritius? Although we are passionate about board sports such as kitesurfing and wingfoil, there is also so much to do in Mauritius. The island's cultural influences are as diverse as its population, and you should definitely take the time to explore the enchanting landscapes and fascinating Mauritian culture. For night owls, it's worth a trip to Grand Bay, where you can enjoy Mauritian Groove nights in bars and discos. Holidays are a bit different in Mauritius, and happiness is guaranteed. We look forward to welcoming you!

WAVES

HOW TO GET THERE ?
By plane
The transfer from Mauritius airport to Anse la Raie, in the north of Mauritius takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes, depending on the time of day you arrive and the traffic level around the capital Port Louis. Leave the airport on the main M2 road towards Port Louis, for about 25 km. To bypass Port Louis where traffic can sometimes be slow, exit the M2 onto the B6 towards Moka, then follow Terre Rouge/Verdun/Trianon Link Road for about 30 km, before rejoining the M2 towards the A5 at Pamplemousses. Follow A5 to B13 at Rivière du Rempart for 8 km. Once back on the coast, go over a small bridge crossing a river, and the ION CLUB Anse la Raie center is on your right, just in front of the entrance of the Paradise Cove Hotel
