The Best Time to Visit Mauritius

Experience the very best vacation spent on the breathtakingly beautiful island of Mauritius, by finding out the best time to book a holiday trip. Mauritius is famous for its amazing tropical climate that provides warm weather throughout the year, although there are certain times of the year that are more popular than others.

The winter months of May to October are considered the most ideal for a holiday in Mauritius – during these months, you can expect weather that is cool, dry and sunny. Spend long days adventuring under the sun and take in the island's gorgeous surroundings.

The months of December and January are popular with tourists who enjoy a Christmas and New Year escape to Mauritius; however during the months of January and most especially February cyclones and rain make travelling arrangements less comfortable and sometimes not possible.

The weather becomes hotter from March and by April temperatures go up to 30 degrees, some of the hottest days in Mauritius are during April. May is a very popular month because there are a number of fantastic offers for tourists to take advantage of – by this time the weather is warm and the humidity has lifted, providing a much more comfortable climate, as well as quieter surroundings with fewer crowds. From the month of June through to August warm days can be appreciated, with a bit more wind and cooler evenings. By September the wind has usually died down and temperatures start to rise again. During the summer months from November to April the days are typically hot and humid, meaning a lot of time can be spent cooling down in the warm ocean waters, either swimming or experiencing a number of thrilling water sports.
