When to Travel: Finding the Perfect Season for Mauritius
Mauritius enjoys a tropical climate, making it a year-round destination with slight variations depending on your ideal experience. The best time to visit is from May to December, when the weather is dry, sunny, and perfect for beach days and ocean excursions. January to March brings warmer temperatures and occasional rain, though showers tend to be brief and the landscape is lush and green. If you're a diver, the best underwater visibility is from October to December. For honeymooners, June and September offer quieter resorts and exceptional value with no compromise on luxury.
The Top 4 Unforgettable Experiences and Things to Do in Mauritius
Mauritius is all about indulgent adventure and stylish relaxation. These curated experiences showcase the island’s best, elevated to luxury traveller standards.
1
Relax in Style at a Private Pool Villa
Stay at one of Mauritius’s exceptional private pool villas, where you can enjoy uninterrupted ocean views, dedicated butler service, and total privacy. Resorts like Heritage Le Telfair, The Oberoi, and One&Only Le Saint Géran offer sprawling suites with beachfront access and high-end touches throughout. Wake up to the sound of gentle surf, enjoy in-villa breakfast served al fresco, and take an afternoon dip in your own infinity pool. Whether it’s a romantic escape or family getaway, these villas create the ultimate island sanctuary.
2
Sail into the Sunset on a Private Catamaran Cruise
Experience the beauty of the Indian Ocean on your own luxury catamaran, complete with crew, open bar, and chef-prepared meals. Sail along the wild southern coastline or venture to uninhabited islets like Île aux Cerfs for a swim in shallow turquoise lagoons. Sunset cruises are especially magical, offering golden skies, gourmet canapés, and even live acoustic music on request. It’s relaxed, refined, and utterly romantic—ideal for proposals, honeymoons, or just celebrating life.

Discover Local Culture with a Private Island Tour
Mauritius’s multicultural heritage is one of its richest luxuries. Explore it with a personal guide on a curated tour of the island’s highlights, from Grand Bassin’s sacred lake and the seven-coloured earth of Chamarel to colonial tea estates and vibrant markets in Port Louis. We can arrange special touches such as private cooking classes, rum tastings, or access to historic estates not open to the public. It’s an immersive experience that connects you to the island beyond the beach.
4
Dive or Snorkel in Protected Marine Parks
Whether you're a certified diver or prefer to float with a snorkel, Mauritius offers world-class marine life and crystal-clear waters. Visit protected areas like Blue Bay Marine Park or charter a private dive boat to more remote coral gardens and wrecks. Awake & Wander can pair you with marine biologists or private instructors to personalise your underwater experience. Expect vibrant corals, turtles, eagle rays, and even dolphins on the horizon. It’s nature’s theatre—best enjoyed with your own front-row seat.
