💰 How far does your money go?
A Phoenix beer at a beach bar costs around €1.60, less than half a caña in Madrid. A full local lunch, curry, rice and rougaille sauce at a street stall in Port Louis, comes to about €4. Even a sit-down dinner at a beachfront restaurant lands around €25, similar to a night out in Malasaña, except this one comes with a lagoon view instead of a terraza.
☀️ The Weather
September in Mauritius sits at the tail end of the dry season. Expect highs around 25°C and cool nights near 18°C, with barely five rainy days all month. The sea holds at 23°C, and you'll get about seven hours of sunshine a day, ideal for beaches without the peak-season crowds.
🏨 Where to Stay
Everything from a marina-side budget stay to a full resort further up the coast.
Le Suffren Hotel & Marina — 8.0/10 · From €90/night Waterfront rooms steps from the Caudan market, the easiest base for exploring Port Louis on foot.
Labourdonnais Waterfront Hotel — 8.4/10 · From €150/night A five-star stay right on the capital's harbour, with a rooftop pool looking over the marina.
The Westin Turtle Bay Resort & Spa — 9.0/10 · From €280/night A proper beach resort on the north coast at Balaclava, half an hour from the capital and worth every extra minute.
🎯 What to Do
An island built on sugar cane, rum and volcanic rock, with a lot more going on than the beach.
Île aux Cerfs catamaran trip — A full day sailing out to Mauritius's most photographed lagoon, with a barbecue lunch on board.
Aapravasi Ghat and Port Louis Central Market — The UNESCO-listed immigration depot sits minutes from the market's spice stalls and street food.
Caudan Waterfront by night — Rum tastings and grilled seafood stalls along the harbour, the best spot for a slow evening.
Chamarel's seven coloured earths — Volcanic dunes that shift from red to purple to green, next to the island's best-known rum distillery.
🗺️ Where to Go From Here
Mauritius works just as well as a base for the rest of the Mascarenes.
Rodrigues Island — Wilder and quieter than its big sister, about 1.5 hours away by domestic flight.
Réunion Island — An active volcano and French Creole food scene, with daily flights making it an easy add-on.
Île aux Aigrettes — A short boat ride to a wildlife reserve with giant tortoises and rare native birds.
