The Best Time to Visit Mauritius
Weather, prices and crowds — when to book your Mauritius escape for the best value.
Mauritius is a year-round destination, but the shoulder months of May and October give you warm water, fewer crowds and noticeably better resort rates. Cyclone season runs from January to March, so if you want guaranteed sunshine, aim for the dry winter months between June and September.
Book flights around eight to twelve weeks out for the best fares from Johannesburg, and consider a half-board package — most beachfront resorts price dinner far higher when you add it later.
