Mauritius

1. Find Out Which Month to Go

Our advice: Travel in May.

May is the perfect time to visit Mauritius. It marks the beginning of the dry season, with warm temperatures averaging 25°C, lower humidity, and fewer chances of rain. The island is lush and green after the summer rains, and the crowds are much smaller than peak holiday season — making it ideal for beach days, nature hikes, and cultural sightseeing.

If May doesn’t work for you, September is another great option. The weather remains dry and sunny, prices stay reasonable, and whale-watching season begins along the island’s western coast.

Average Prices

  • Flights to Mauritius are lowest in May, starting from ₹27,000–₹30,000 roundtrip from Delhi.

  • Hotels and resorts average around ₹5,000–₹7,500 per night, while guesthouses and apartments can start at ₹2,500.

Weather Overview

  • Avoid January to March — it’s cyclone season, with high humidity and heavy rainfall.

  • May to October is cool, dry, and breezy — ideal for beach activities and inland hikes.

  • November–December is warmer, festive, and more crowded.

Crowds to Avoid

December and early January are the busiest, due to holidaymakers and school vacations. For a peaceful, sunny experience, May gives you the same weather without the peak-season chaos.

It’s time to book your trip!

For Mauritius, the best time to book flights and hotels is around 45–60 days before departure. May travel tends to be less competitive, so good deals are easier to find — especially if you avoid public holidays.
