Mauritius, It’s a pleasure!

We love to write about Mauritius. A unique place which lead us posting some 200 articles as an attempt to match the island’s beauty. Pearl of the Indian Ocean, the Paradise Island, or the Southern Tropic sweet-spot, Mauritius’ bynames may differ from place to place but the island’s loveliness seems to charm everyone across the board.

The warm climate, postcard beaches, lush vegetation, rich cultural values, and legendary hospitality, Mauritius resounds as a plural destination, an exotic scenting experience, a tropical insignia, a place for the holiday of a lifetime just 10 hours away from Europe. Embark on a trip to Mauritius and its many natural wonders, minus the flight time!

Climate

We are in the Indian Ocean, at the height of the Tropic of Capricorn in the Southern hemisphere. In this part of the world, seasons are reversed and the sun is expected from January to December. On the side of this geographical position, the island of Mauritius benefits from a fairly warm and humid subtropical climate all year round.

Summer

The hottest months of the year in Mauritius occur between November and April. This period is characterised by a harsh sun with temperatures hitting 30°C on the coastal regions with occasional rainfalls.

Winter

Mauritian winter is quite amazing, visitors are promised sunny weather and warm lagoons. The temperature drops slightly during winter (May to October) offering beautiful balmy days.

When to visit Mauritius

Commonly speaking, it is always time to visit Mauritius. The type of climate in Mauritius is a microclimate. Which means that it could be raining on a part of the island whilst 2km further the sun could be shining in a bright blue sky. The only time to avoid is the cyclonic month of February. That said, Mauritius has not been visited by any major cyclone for more than a decade now.

If you want to enjoy water based sports like water-ski, diving or big game fishing, the months of summer are best opportune for those as this period comes with long sunny days.

For newlyweds and honeymooners, the months of winters are best suited as most beaches are deserted. Look for seasonal transitions, these usually offer the best climate in Mauritius.
