💰 How far does your money go?
A Phoenix beer at a beach bar costs around €1.90, less than a third of a pils on an Amsterdam terrace (€6). A full plate of chicken curry with rice from a local spot runs about €5, and a three-course dinner for two at a mid-range restaurant lands near €38. Whatever a night out costs you at home stretches into two or three days on the island.
☀️ The weather
Mauritius sits at the tail end of its dry season through September and October. Expect highs of 26–27°C and nights around 18–19°C, with the sea holding a steady 23–24°C. Rain is light and short-lived, usually clearing within the hour.
🏨 Where to stay
From simple guesthouses to five-star resorts, Mauritius covers every budget.

🎯 What to do
Mauritius swings between colonial streets and reef-lined lagoons, often in the same day.
Black River Gorges National Park hike — Trails through rainforest and waterfalls, with views stretching to the south coast. Chamarel Seven Coloured Earth Geopark — Rippled dunes of red, purple and ochre sand, a short walk from a 100-metre waterfall. Port Louis Central Market food crawl — Stalls of dholl puri, gateaux piments and fresh sugarcane juice in the island's oldest market. Catamaran trip to Île aux Cerfs — A day of snorkelling and sandbank swimming reachable only by boat.
🗺️ Where to go from here
Mauritius is also the easiest base for exploring the wider Mascarene Islands.
Rodrigues Island — A quieter, wilder sister island with its own lagoon, about 1h30 by domestic flight. Réunion Island — Volcanic peaks and hiking trails just under an hour away by plane. Île aux Cerfs — A postcard islet off the east coast, reachable by a short catamaran or speedboat ride.
€512 for a return flight to one of the Indian Ocean's most photographed lagoons. These dates run through October, but the cheapest ones go first.
