Seasonality & Best Time to Travel to Mauritius

Mauritius is a year-round destination, with every season offering its own distinct atmosphere.

North and northwest - Grand Baie, Pereybère, Mont Choisy and Trou aux Biches

This is the strongest choice from May through September, particularly in July and August. The northwest is more sheltered from the winter trade winds and offers lagoons, restaurants, shopping, excursions and nightlife. Grand Baie is lively, while Trou aux Biches and Mont Choisy are more beach-focused.

West – Flic en Flac, Wolmar, Tamarin and Black River

The west is the most reliable all-year option and especially useful during the wetter summer months. It generally receives less rain than the east and south and offers sunset-facing beaches. For calm swimming in winter, Flic en Flac and Wolmar are usually better choices than the more exposed Le Morne area.

East - Belle Mare, Palmar and Trou d’Eau Douce

The east has long beaches, large lagoons, quieter surroundings and many luxury resorts. It is particularly appealing from October through April, when its cooling breeze can be welcome. From June through August it is usually cooler, windier and more showery than the west, so it is less suitable for travellers wanting still, hot beach conditions.

South and southeast –Bel Ombre, Blue Bay and Le Morne

These areas suit travellers seeking nature, quiet resorts and dramatic scenery. For a general beach holiday, October through April is preferable.
