💰 How Far Does Your Money Go?
A Phoenix beer on the beach costs you around €1.65, less than half a caña on a Barcelona terrace. A full local lunch, chicken curry with rice and rotis, comes to about €4.50, and a three course dinner for two at a proper restaurant runs around €38. Even a cocktail at your resort rarely tops €12.
☀️ The Weather
October in Mauritius sits at a warm 27°C by day and a mild 19°C by night. The sea holds a swimmable 24°C, and humidity stays manageable before the wet season arrives. Expect the odd shower, but mostly long, dry, sun filled days.
🏨 Where to Stay
From beachfront guesthouses to private villas, Mauritius covers every budget.
Canari Waterfront Villas · 9.4/10 · From €90/night Sea views and a pool in Roches Noires, and the top rated stay on the island for the price.
SALT of Palmar · 8.9/10 · From €155/night An adults only design hotel right on Palmar beach, built for travellers who want quiet over crowds.
La Maison d'Été Hotel by NEWMARK · 8.9/10 · From €205/night A 5 star boutique on the east coast with a private beach and two pools, for when you want the full resort treatment.
🎯 What to Do
Mauritius is a lagoon and mountain island built for slow days and full on adventure alike.
Snorkel Blue Bay Marine Park · Coral gardens and turtles just metres from the shore, no boat required. Walk the Seven Coloured Earth · Volcanic sand dunes in Chamarel that shift colour depending on the light. Eat your way through Port Louis Central Market · Dholl puri, samosas and fresh sugarcane juice for under €3 a stop. Climb Le Morne Brabant · A UNESCO listed mountain with the best view on the island, and a story behind every step.
🗺️ Where to Go From Here
Mauritius makes a natural base for exploring the rest of the Mascarene Islands.
Rodrigues Island · A remote, slower paced island an hour away by air, with empty beaches and hiking trails. Réunion Island · Daily flights land you among volcanoes and green valleys, a different Indian Ocean entirely. Île aux Aigrettes · A short boat ride from the mainland to a nature reserve full of giant tortoises and birds found nowhere else.
Fares like this to the Indian Ocean don't sit around long. Lock in your dates before they climb back over €600.
