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.
