Mauritius welcomes visitors year-round, but each season has its own character and price point.

• May–September — cool dry season (+24°C), best weather, most popular and most expensive
• October–November — shoulder season, quieter and cheaper, great for budget travellers
• December–March — warm wet season (+28°C), occasional heavy rain and rare cyclones
• December–January — Christmas and New Year peak: highest prices of the year

Mauritius is far more than beaches — unique nature, colonial history and the culture of three civilisations await.

• Underwater Waterfall near Le Morne — a breathtaking optical illusion, best seen from the air
• Seven-Coloured Earths of Chamarel and Chamarel Waterfall — two wonders in one spot
• Port Louis: central market, Fort Adélaïde, Chinatown and the best street food in the Indian Ocean
• Black River Gorges National Park — the island's last wild heartland, rare birds and flying foxes

With over 100 km of coastline, each area has its own personality — from vibrant resorts to complete seclusion.

• Grand Baie (north) — the liveliest resort area: restaurants, shopping, nightlife
• Trou aux Biches (east) — calm and exclusive, luxury hotels, perfect for honeymoons
• Le Morne (south-west) — one of the world's top kitesurfing and windsurfing destinations
• Flic en Flac (west) — family-friendly, great snorkelling, more affordable than the north

No mandatory vaccinations — Mauritius is one of the few exotic destinations with no health requirements at entry.

No vaccinations required — not yellow fever, not COVID-19
No malaria on Mauritius — no prophylaxis needed
Doctors recommend: Hepatitis A, typhoid (especially if eating at street stalls)
Travel insurance is essential — make sure it covers water sports (diving, surfing)
