This isn&#8217;t just a flat island full of sun loungers and endless lounging around. <strong>A Mauritius holiday is essentially the Maldives with proper substance<\/strong>, where on top of the turquoise lagoon you also get mountains, rainforests and an incredibly rich culture. The island simply has so much to offer that it would be a real shame to spend your whole stay locked behind the gates of a hotel resort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While in the morning you can snorkel with sea turtles, after lunch you&#8217;ll be scrambling up the iconic Le Morne mountain or sampling <strong>the best street food in the entire Indian Ocean<\/strong>. The island is also just the right size to drive around in a rental car, yet diverse enough to keep you entertained for a full two weeks without a hint of boredom. The roads are surprisingly good, and even though they drive on the left, the traffic is easy to handle once you&#8217;re outside the bigger towns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So now, onto those promised 21 tips. I&#8217;ll show you how not to get caught out by the <strong>reversed seasons<\/strong>, why you should pay close attention to which coast you choose for your accommodation, and how to enjoy your holiday here even on a <strong>tighter budget<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\"

Here&#8217;s what you should know before you <strong>board the plane<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>  <strong>Reversed seasons:<\/strong> The Mauritian summer (November to April) is hot and humid with a risk of cyclones, while winter (May to October) is drier but very windy on the east coast.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <strong>Choosing the coast is crucial:<\/strong> In the Mauritian winter, avoid the east because of strong wind and seaweed. The sheltered west and north offer the ideal refuge.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <strong>Budget:<\/strong> Mauritius doesn&#8217;t have to be overpriced. A <strong>great network of guesthouses and apartments<\/strong> makes cheaper travel possible, as does the fantastic local street food.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <strong>Getting around:<\/strong> Local buses are reliable and cheap. If you rent a car, remember they <strong>drive on the left<\/strong> here.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <strong>No malaria:<\/strong> The island is very safe health-wise, malaria doesn&#8217;t occur here, and thanks to the coral reef the lagoons are shallow and calm even for small children.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <strong>Weddings:<\/strong> Unlike the Maldives, a wedding in Mauritius is <strong>legally valid back in the UK too<\/strong>, and brides often get huge discounts at resorts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <strong>Formalities:<\/strong> You don&#8217;t need a visa, but don&#8217;t forget to fill in the <strong>mandatory All-in-One Travel Digital Form<\/strong>, which is completely free.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_to_Go_to_Mauritius_Watch_Out_for_the_Reversed_Seasons\"><\/span>When to Go to Mauritius: Watch Out for the Reversed Seasons<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing the right time to travel to Mauritius is absolutely key, because it lies in the southern hemisphere and <strong>the seasons here work exactly the other way round to ours<\/strong>. If you don&#8217;t want to spend your holiday cooped up in your room, it pays to plan ahead and know the local quirks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Mauritian summer runs roughly <strong>from November to April and brings temperatures between 25 and 33 \u00b0C<\/strong>. The water is a gorgeous 29 degrees, but it&#8217;s also a season of high humidity and the main cyclone period. These peak between January and March. The island is usually only hit on the edges, but a direct strike comes around once every five years and can leave you stuck at the hotel for a few days. During these months it&#8217;s a good idea to have some indoor activities or a few good books up your sleeve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Mauritian winter, on the other hand, runs <strong>from May to October and offers more pleasant temperatures of around 20 to 26 \u00b0C<\/strong>. It&#8217;s noticeably drier, but the south-easterly trade wind comes into play. This wind turns the east coast into a surfer&#8217;s paradise, but for ordinary swimming it&#8217;s pretty windy and cooler there during these months. Definitely pack a windbreaker or a light jumper for evening walks, because the feels-like temperature can drop quite quickly after sunset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So when is the absolute best time? <strong>The sweet spot is May, June, September and October<\/strong>. September is the driest month of the entire year, the wind gradually dies down and the sea starts to warm up. On top of that, in these shoulder months you&#8217;ll find the best prices on flights and accommodation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Stay_in_Mauritius_Choosing_the_Coast_Is_Everything\"><\/span>Where to Stay in Mauritius: Choosing the Coast Is Everything<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1350\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/mauricius-dovolena-ubytovani.jpg\" alt=\"Pool at Trou aux Biches Beachcomber resort at dusk\" class=\"wp-image-236174\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/mauricius-dovolena-ubytovani.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/mauricius-dovolena-ubytovani-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/mauricius-dovolena-ubytovani-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/mauricius-dovolena-ubytovani-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/mauricius-dovolena-ubytovani-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/mauricius-dovolena-ubytovani-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/mauricius-dovolena-ubytovani-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/mauricius-dovolena-ubytovani-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/mauricius-dovolena-ubytovani-1392x1044.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-block-image__caption\">Photo: Trou aux Biches Beachcomber<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While in other destinations you mostly worry about the price and the hotel&#8217;s facilities, in Mauritius you first have to think about the points of the compass. <strong>The north and west coasts are sheltered from the wind all year round<\/strong>, whereas the east can be very windy and full of washed-up green seaweed from June to September. It also depends on what kind of sea you prefer. In some places the entry is extremely shallow and sandy, in others you&#8217;ll find coral right by the shore, which calls for water shoes.

The lower part of the route is completely free and open from seven in the morning. <strong>But if you want to tackle the summit rock section, you have to hire a certified guide<\/strong>, because it&#8217;s private land and the safety rules here are often tightened (the price is around 1,500 to 2,000 rupees).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the trek, definitely <strong>wear sturdy footwear<\/strong>, because the final stretch before the summit requires using your hands and scrambling over rocks. The car park down by the beach is usually half empty early in the morning, but if you <strong>arrive after eight<\/strong>, you&#8217;ll have a real job finding a spot. After the descent, I recommend jumping straight into the sea at the adjacent public beach, one of the prettiest in the south.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> Set off at 7:00 a.m. at the very latest. Later it&#8217;s unbearably hot on the rock, and the last entry to the summit usually closes at 14:30. Take at least two litres of water per person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Seven_Coloured_Earth_and_Chamarel_waterfall\"><\/span>2.

The dunes themselves take about fifteen minutes to see, so it&#8217;s not worth coming here just for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chamarel7colouredearth.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">geopark grounds<\/a> you&#8217;ll also find a small caf\u00e9 serving excellent coffee from the local plantation. The coffee plants grow right on the slopes around the coloured dunes, and if you&#8217;re a caffeine lover, definitely pick up a pack of <strong>Chamarel whole-bean coffee<\/strong> as a souvenir to take home. I&#8217;d recommend <strong>planning your visit for a sunny day<\/strong>, when the colours of the sand show best under direct light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> Combine your Chamarel visit into a single full-day trip around the south-west.

You&#8217;ll find dozens of kilometres of marked trails of varying difficulty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The highest point is Piton de la Petite Rivi\u00e8re Noire (828 m), which you can reach in about 4 hours. For families with children, the shorter Les Mares trail is ideal. <strong>With a bit of luck you&#8217;ll spot rare endemic birds<\/strong> here, such as the pink pigeon or the Mauritius kestrel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The park has two main entrances and several car parks with maps. It&#8217;s worth stopping at the <strong>Gorges Viewpoint<\/strong> or Macchabee Viewpoint, which open up an incredible view of the waterfalls and deep green valleys tumbling all the way to the west coast. If you&#8217;re not up for longer hikes, even just <strong>driving through the park by car<\/strong> is an experience, as the road winds through gorgeous rainforest with plenty of stops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> The park&#8217;s treks are best walked in the drier months from April to October. After heavy rain the paths turn into an impassable skating rink of mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Soak_up_the_atmosphere_in_Port_Louis\"><\/span>4. Soak up the atmosphere in Port Louis<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The capital, Port Louis, is busy, noisy and sweaty, but it&#8217;s definitely worth a visit. <strong>Half a day is plenty to explore it<\/strong>. The heart of the city is the historic Central Market (open Monday to Saturday), where the smells of spices, fresh vegetables and local street food all mingle together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t miss a visit to Aapravasi Ghat, a UNESCO site where the first Indian labourers landed in the 19th century. <strong>It was this very migration that shaped today&#8217;s Mauritius<\/strong>, where Indians make up roughly two-thirds of the population. The more modern face of the city is shown by the Caudan Waterfront promenade, with its famous alley full of hanging umbrellas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best place to park your car is in the paid garages at the <strong>Caudan Waterfront<\/strong> shopping centre. From there you can easily walk the whole centre on foot. Bring some small cash for shopping at the market and don&#8217;t be afraid to <strong>haggle over souvenir prices<\/strong>. Besides food, you&#8217;ll find fantastic handicrafts here and woven bags that locals hand-weave from palm leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> Don&#8217;t go to Port Louis in the morning between seven and nine, or in the afternoon between four and six.

Watch out for free-roaming dogs and <strong>don&#8217;t forget the insect repellent<\/strong>, because the greenery and damp around the ponds create the perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> Local guides will offer their services right at the entrance. For around 100 to 200 rupees their services are really worth it, because without them you&#8217;ll miss plenty of interesting plants and won&#8217;t hear the fascinating stories about how they&#8217;re used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_The_sacred_Grand_Bassin_lake_Ganga_Talao\"><\/span>6.

According to legend it&#8217;s connected to the sacred Indian river Ganges. From afar you&#8217;re greeted by two gigantic, 33-metre-high statues of the gods Shiva and Durga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Entry to the whole complex is free. You can stroll around the lake, watch worshippers offering flowers and fruit, and admire the colourful temples. <strong>At the end of February and the start of March, the Maha Shivaratri festival takes place here<\/strong>, when up to half a million people make the pilgrimage on foot from all over the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because the lake sits high in the mountains, <strong>it&#8217;s often cooler here<\/strong> and the complex sometimes shrouds itself in thick mist, which gives it an even more magical and slightly eerie atmosphere. I&#8217;d recommend <strong>setting aside at least an hour and a half<\/strong> for your visit, so you have time to walk around the smaller shrines in the forest by the lake, where you&#8217;ll come across countless colourful statues of Indian gods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> Dress respectfully here (covered shoulders and knees).

The truth is, it has some of the most beautiful beaches, but it also <strong>gets very crowded with tourists during the day<\/strong>. You can get here either by a fast water taxi from the village of Trou d&#8217;Eau Douce (around 400 to 800 rupees for the return trip), or as part of a full-day catamaran tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Catamaran tours <strong>start at around $70<\/strong> and include a BBQ lunch right on board, often with a detour to the nearby Grand River South East waterfall. The island is great for swimming, but expect a <strong>more commercial atmosphere<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On <strong>\u00cele aux Cerfs<\/strong> you&#8217;ll find plenty of stalls with <strong>overpriced refreshments<\/strong> and a huge range of water sports, from banana boat rides to parasailing.

It has incredibly fine sand, a gentle entry into the water and <strong>is absolutely ideal for families with small children<\/strong>, because the lagoon is shallow and wave-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main draw here, though, is snorkelling straight from the shore. The distance to the reef is short, and <strong>at a depth of around two metres you can routinely come across huge sea turtles<\/strong>, which gather here to feed. Locals often offer boat trips, but you can easily swim out to the turtles on your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Right by the beach there are excellent facilities with toilets, showers and even a few mobile stalls where, after <strong>swimming with the turtles<\/strong>, you can buy fresh pineapple sprinkled with chilli or hot noodles. <strong>Avoid weekends<\/strong>, when local families pour in and unfold huge picnics on the sand, so the place is packed wall to wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> Swim out to the turtles ideally in the morning between nine and eleven, when visibility is best and the sand stirred up from the bottom is at a minimum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"lk-stays-module\">\n<style>\n\/* \u2500\u2500\u2500 RESET PRO GUTENBERG \u2500\u2500\u2500 *\/\n.lk-stays-module * { box-sizing: border-box;

Precisely because of nature conservation, it&#8217;s <strong>strictly forbidden<\/strong> to take away any pieces of dead coral or shells; customs officers at the airport check this very strictly, and there are <strong>huge fines<\/strong> for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> Don&#8217;t forget to pack water shoes with a firm sole. Throughout the Indian Ocean there&#8217;s a risk of stepping on a sea urchin or, even worse, on the extremely venomous stonefish, which blends in perfectly with the rocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_Sunsets_on_Flic_en_Flac_beach\"><\/span>11.

Around the promenade you&#8217;ll also find plenty of stalls and food trucks with local refreshments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The promenade along the beach is alive until late evening. As soon as the sun sets, dozens of lights flicker on at the <strong>roti stalls<\/strong> and fried-noodle vendors. If you enjoy running, this is one of the best <strong>spots for a morning jog<\/strong> on the island, because the shade of the trees lingers long after sunrise and the kilometres of firm sand are practically an invitation to exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> Be careful swimming further from the shore. There are gaps in the coral reef at Flic en Flac through which the water drains back into the ocean, and unpleasant currents can form here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_The_wild_south_at_Gris_Gris_and_Le_Souffleur\"><\/span>12.

Walk along the worn path beside the cliff to the La Roche qui Pleure viewpoint, which translates as the Weeping Rock. The water shattering against the rocks here creates a constant rain, so definitely don&#8217;t forget to bring a <strong>waterproof cover for your camera<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> Head to the wild south when the rest of the island is windy or overcast. Dramatic weather suits these cliffs incredibly well, and the atmosphere is all the more powerful for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"13_Whale_watching_all_year_round\"><\/span>13.

Boat trips to see the whales cost around \u20ac60 to \u20ac120. <strong>Bear in mind, though, that swimming with whales is strictly forbidden in Mauritius<\/strong> for the sake of animal protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Whale trips<\/strong> usually last around three hours, and the boats set out straight from the pier into the ocean.

This whole vegetarian miracle costs 20 to 30 rupees on the street (about 40 to 60 pence). I&#8217;d definitely recommend trying the crispy lentil fritters gateaux piments too, or the refreshing sweet drink alouda from the market. For seafood lovers, the local speciality is octopus curry, which you&#8217;ll find in every coastal restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The whole culinary scene here blends Indian, African, French and Chinese influences. A big phenomenon are the so-called &#8220;boulettes&#8221;, which are <strong>Mauritian dim sum dumplings<\/strong> steamed and served in a strong broth. You&#8217;ll find them in every town, but the best are reputedly made in the Chinatown of Port Louis. <strong>Street food is safe<\/strong>, the hygiene here is surprisingly good, and you really don&#8217;t need to worry about an upset stomach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> For the best dholl puri on the island, people go to Dewa &amp; Sons in the town of Rose Hill.

On the motorways the speed limit is around 110 kilometres per hour, but in towns expect 40. Petrol stations are usually attended, so you don&#8217;t even have to get out of the car \u2014 local staff will fill up and clean your windscreen for a small <strong>tip of around fifty rupees<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> If you don&#8217;t want to haggle with taxi drivers on the street, download the local Yugo app to your phone, which works on a similar principle to Uber or Bolt and shows you a fair price straight away.

You just need to arrive within six to twelve months of the wedding and show your marriage certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ceremony process is admittedly more bureaucratically demanding and requires sending in many copies of birth certificates with an apostille in advance, but the <strong>wedding agencies at the resorts<\/strong> usually arrange it all for you.

Humidity is lower, temperatures stay around a comfortable 25\u201328 \u00b0C, and you&#8217;ll avoid the risk of cyclones. If you&#8217;re going in July or August, stay on the west coast to avoid strong winds.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781119599001\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_are_there_cyclones_in_Mauritius\"><\/span>When are there cyclones in Mauritius?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>&#8220;`html<br \/>\nCyclone season lasts during the Mauritian summer, from November to April, with the highest risk from January to March. Storms marginally hit the island several times a year, but a direct and strong hit statistically occurs only once every five years.<br \/>\n&#8220;`<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781119599002\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_I_need_a_visa_for_Mauritius_and_what_about_the_formalities\"><\/span>Do I need a visa for Mauritius and what about the formalities?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>For stays up to 90 days, you don&#8217;t need a visa.

However, dengue fever does occur here, which is transmitted by mosquitoes even during the day, so a quality DEET repellent is a must.<br \/>\n&#8220;`<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781119599004\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mauritius_Maldives_or_Zanzibar_What_to_choose\"><\/span>Mauritius, Maldives, or Zanzibar?

Zanzibar is the cheapest option, offering African rawness and the possibility to combine it with a safari, but it has significant low tides and more basic services. Mauritius is the golden middle ground, offering stunning lagoons, but also mountains, waterfalls, towns, and safe travel by rental car.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781119599005\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_travel_Mauritius_on_a_budget\"><\/span>Can you travel Mauritius on a budget?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>&#8220;`html<br \/>\nAbsolutely! You don&#8217;t have to stay in a five-star resort. The island has a fantastic network of guesthouses and fully equipped apartments that you can find from 60 to 90 euros per night. If you use local buses and eat local street food for a few euros, you&#8217;ll keep your daily budget to a minimum.<br \/>\n&#8220;`<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781119599006\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_the_time_difference_like_in_Mauritius\"><\/span>What&#8217;s the time difference like in Mauritius?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>This is a huge advantage.
