Two seasons, one warm island

Mauritius keeps it simple: a hot, humid summer from about November to April with the warmest sea and the lushest landscapes, and a mild, drier winter from May to October when the south-east trade winds blow and the east coast freshens up. Neither season is wrong; they just reward different trips, which is what the planner above sorts out.

Once you have your window, choose a coast to match with the region finder and turn the dates into days with the itinerary builder.
