Where to stay in Mauritius: most popular destinations

The choice of where to stay revolves around the coasts and beaches, each with its own character. These are the destinations travellers choose most often:

• Grand Baie. A lively resort in the north, with beaches, restaurants and nightlife, the widest choice of hotels.
• Flic en Flac. A long beach in the west, good for diving and sunsets.
• Belle Mare. A quieter east coast with luxury resorts.
• Le Morne. A south-western peninsula with a UNESCO-listed mountain, a base for surfers and kitesurfers.
• Port Louis. The capital with a harbour and market, a city and business base.

Nightly rates vary between places. Here are indicative prices per night for a double room:

What to see in Mauritius

The island combines beaches with mountains and nature, so time splits between the water and the interior.

• The beaches. Trou-aux-Biches in the north, Tamarin in the west and Palmar in the east are classics of warm sea and a turquoise lagoon.
• Diving and snorkelling. Warm water and the reef around the island, with underwater tunnels and the Kei Sei and Tug II wrecks.
• Black River Gorges National Park. The island's highest mountains and trails, including the Maccabee Trail along the Black River.
• A catamaran cruise. Sailing the lagoons with a barbecue stop at the offshore islets.
• Horse riding and gardens. Botanical gardens and horse rides for a calmer day.

How much does a trip to Mauritius cost

Beyond the room, daily costs are moderate. A local meal is around 250 MUR. Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted in hotels, restaurants and tourist shops, and ATMs are in the larger towns. Some cash (rupee) is handy at markets and in smaller places.

When is the best time to visit Mauritius

The nicest time is May to December, when it is dry and warm without heat. The wetter, warmer season runs from January to April. September and October are a good balance of weather and price, while the European winter is peak season with the highest rates.

Getting to and around Mauritius

Flights use Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport near Mahebourg, and the national carrier is Air Mauritius. Around the island you travel by bus, taxi and rental car (driving on the left). Distances are short, so you can circle the whole island in a few hours, and most resorts arrange airport transfers.
