Top tips
If you want something a little more upmarket, you’ve hit the jackpot here. The island is filled with 4- and 5-star resorts, giving you the pick of the crop when it comes to luxury Mauritius holiday options. Take your pick from some of our top trending hotels:
A unique and new concept to Mauritius, SALT of Palmar is an eco-conscious, one-of-a-kind property that immerses you into the beauty of the island. You'll be sure to find zero single-use plastics as well as zero food waste, what's not to love?
Not just a hotel, Zilwa Attitude is more of an experience, embracing the life of the islanders. With a relaxed village feel, it is packed with authentic Mauritian experiences so you’ll truly feel like one of the natives after a week or two here.
Anyone can stay on a beach in Mauritius — but the prime location of Radisson Blu Azuri Resort & Spa will make your stay that extra bit special. Set on a sweep of lagoon-washed sand, the resort is also framed by preserved mangroves.
This place has some serious kudos among foodies, with its ‘Culinary Voyage’ taking you around the world in 9 restaurants. The large rooms and myriad of entertainment options make it a top choice for families.
This is a tropical paradise, so you can expect tropical temperatures pretty much all year round. It really doesn’t matter when you book holidays to Mauritius, you’re guaranteed sunny skies and balmy temperatures.
The word ‘winter’ is a bit of a misnomer, because even now you’re looking at a pleasant 20-23°C on average. If you’re a surfer then pack your board, because you’ve got some sweet breaks and lusciously warm water to enjoy at this time of year.
This is Mauritius’ summer season, with the warmest temperatures from December through to February, when the mercury hops up to a very pleasant 26°C on average. The water is even warmer, so pack your board shorts or bikini.
