Best Time to Visit

Sun-drenched Mauritius awaits, offering year-round tropical bliss.

When you're planning a visit, make sure to set your sights on May to December—these months pack cool, dry, and sunny weather, making it prime time for your island getaway.

Mauritius boasts a classic tropical climate, keeping things warm and inviting all year long. Whether it's May or December, you can bet on soaking up the sun in this slice of paradise. Get ready for beach bliss, seafood delights, and the kind of sunshine that dreams are made of.

The country also keeps things warm year-round with a sub-tropical climate. Temperatures? Rarely dipping below 17 degrees or soaring above 31 degrees Celsius. And here's the cool part—the island's varied terrain means different microclimates all around. If rain tries to ruin your day, you will just be an hour away from the sunshine.

Now, the seasons in Mauritius are just summer and winter. Hence, make sure to pack smart for your island adventure: beachwear, shorts, and tees for the day, and a touch of smart casual for the evenings. Oh, and the essentials? Swimsuit, sun hat, shades, sandals, sunscreen, comfy walking shoes, a light sweater, and warm threads if you're jetting in from June to August—the weather's a bit moody then.
