The well-traveled and poetic Mark Twain once said, "Heaven was copied after Mauritius", and that holds true even today. This little island nation, a mere blip on the vast and azure canvas of the Indian Ocean is a heady cocktail of lush tropical landscapes, intense mountain-ranges, powder-white beaches, bluer-than-blue hidden lagoons, and an exotic curry of African, Indian, Western and Oriental cultures. Watersports along its endless coastline have rarely had a better backdrop of dramatic topography, and the interiors hold their own with trekking, wildlife and myriad adventure opportunities. Whatever your vacation wish-list, Mauritius delivers effortlessly.
Peak Season Description:
Due to its perfect location in the Indian Ocean, Mauritius has an ideal travel season that stretches from May to October. Enjoy these temperate, sunny days and cool nights (where a light cardigan may be required) and very little humidity. May is perfect if less crowds are your thing. July and August tend to get busy.
Shoulder Season Description:
Humidity is relatively high, but not enough to make your vacation unpleasant. Cyclone season ends in February, leaving some moisture behind which dissipates over March and April, the latter month being the hottest time of year. A similar phenomenon is observed in November and December, as the island heads for its cyclone season once again. Despite the humidity, December is a very popular month for travel, so book in advance.
Low Season Description:
Cyclone season, so best avoided.
