Mauritius holidays offer far more than beautiful beaches, although the island’s white sands, turquoise lagoons and warm Indian Ocean waters are certainly a wonderful place to start
Out on the water, you can sail by catamaran, snorkel among colourful marine life, try scuba diving or take a boat trip along the coast. Mauritius is also renowned for its golf courses, many of which enjoy spectacular oceanfront settings.
Away from the beaches, discover waterfalls, forested mountains and walking trails in Black River Gorges National Park, visit the colourful landscapes of Chamarel, explore botanical gardens and experience the markets, villages and diverse culture of the island. Whether you prefer relaxation, sightseeing or outdoor adventure, Mauritius offers plenty to enjoy beyond the beach.
Mauritius holidays can be enjoyed throughout the year, thanks to the island’s warm tropical climate
May to October is generally cooler and drier, with pleasantly warm days and lower humidity. July and August can be breezier, particularly on the east and south coasts, while the west and north often feel more sheltered. These months can combine particularly well with an African safari.
September to November is an excellent time to visit, with warmer temperatures, plenty of sunshine and generally favourable conditions for both beach stays and exploring the island.
December to March is the warmer and more humid summer period. Tropical showers are more likely, although there can still be plenty of sunshine between them. January and February fall within the main cyclone season, so occasional periods of unsettled weather are possible.
April is a transitional month as temperatures and humidity begin to ease. With warm sea temperatures and generally pleasant conditions, it can be another attractive time for a Mauritius holiday.
Our Mauritius holidays can be tailored around the way you like to travel. We can help you choose the right area of the island, hotel or resort, room type and board basis, as well as arrange experiences and excursions to suit your interests.
Mauritius also combines beautifully with an African safari, making it easy to enjoy exciting wildlife experiences followed by time relaxing beside the Indian Ocean. Whether you are planning a honeymoon, family holiday, special celebration or simply a relaxing tropical escape, we will create an itinerary around your preferred travel dates, style and budget.
