When to visit:

With pleasant weather throughout the year, a luxury holiday to Mauritius is possible almost whenever you want.

Since it is in the southern hemisphere, the best time to visit Mauritius is between May and December, when the weather is mostly dry.

The holiday crowds travel during July, August, December, and January, but the months outside this peak period (i.e., May, June, September, October) also offer plenty of beach-perfect days without the holiday rush. 

Best time to visit Mauritius – By season

Mauritius has a tropical climate and two well-defined seasons—a warm and humid summer and a cool, dry winter. 

Winter: Temperatures are in the low 20s Celsius from May to October. Humidity levels are lower during this period making it the best time to travel to Mauritius. July and August are the coolest months due to trade winds. These winds are strongest on the east coast so if you are visiting during this time, pick resorts on the north or northwest coasts. 

Summer: Summer extends from November to April. While Mauritius doesn’t have a separate monsoon, it receives most of its rain during these summer months. The rains start at the end of November and peak around February. There may be cyclones and wet days in January, February, and March. Average temperatures are in the upper 20s. December and January see a spike in visitors who want to celebrate the New Year in warmer climes.

Best time to visit Mauritius – By activity

Snorkelling: To explore incredible underwater worlds, the best time to visit Mauritius is from October to December. The warm waters attract reef fish, and rainfall levels are not yet high enough to disrupt water sports, making it a good time to enjoy several activities in Mauritius. During these months, water visibility is slightly lower on the south and east coasts, so head to resorts on the north and west coasts. 

Surfing: Most of the best surf spots in Mauritius are on the west or south coasts of the islands. If you are planning a surfing trip, summer (Nov-Apr) is the best time to go to Mauritius. The trade winds cause good swells in the ocean from November to April, providing perfect conditions for beginners and experienced surfers. Mauritius has a vibrant local surfing scene.
