A white sand spit with nobody on it. Glassy, warm water. A rum punch that costs less than a caña on a Barcelona terrace.
Barcelona to Mauritius return has dropped to €490 with Saudia. That is Indian Ocean lagoon territory for less than a weekend in the Pyrenees.

💰 How far does your money go?
A dholl puri from a roadside stall costs about €0.60. A full local lunch of rougaille and rice runs €4. A half-litre Phoenix beer at a bar is €2, and a three-course dinner for two at a mid-range restaurant lands around €38.
Put differently: a proper sit-down lunch in Mauritius costs less than a single caña on a terrace in the Gòtic. Dinner for two comes in under the price of one main and a drink back home.
☀️ The weather
You are travelling in the island's sweet spot. September brings highs of 26°C, barely any rain and a sea sitting at 23°C. October is the driest month of the year: 27°C days, cooler 18°C nights, sun from morning to dusk. By November it is 26°C, the water hits 25°C and you get ten hours of sunshine a day, though the humidity starts to build.
🏨 Where to stay
The island splits between the calm northwest and the wilder south.
Ocean Villas — 8.3/10 · From €75/night Steps from Trou aux Biches, one of the best swimming beaches on the island, with a pool and a dive centre on site.
Le Peninsula Bay Beach Resort & Spa — 8.6/10 · From €115/night On the turquoise Blue Bay lagoon, next to the marine park and ten minutes from the airport.
Heritage Awali Golf & Spa Resort — 8.7/10 · From €260/night All-inclusive on the wild south coast, with a golf course and a nature reserve behind it.
🎯 What to do
Mauritius is small enough to cross in 90 minutes, so you can mix beach days with volcano country.
Hike Le Morne Brabant — A guided climb up the UNESCO basalt monolith on the southwest tip, two to three hours to a lookout over the reef.
Chamarel — The seven-coloured earth dunes and a 100-metre waterfall, set in the forested hills above the coast.
Swim with dolphins off Tamarin — Early morning boats head out to pods of spinner dolphins in the bay before the wind picks up.
Île aux Cerfs — A catamaran day out to a lagoon islet off the east coast, all sandbars, snorkelling and grilled fish.
🗺️ Where to go from here
Mauritius is also the launch pad for the rest of the southwest Indian Ocean.
Rodrigues — A tiny, slow Creole island 90 minutes away by domestic flight. Empty beaches and the best octopus curry in the country.
Réunion — France in the Indian Ocean, 45 minutes by plane. Volcano hikes, mountain circuses and waterfalls.
Île aux Aigrettes — A 10-minute boat from Mahébourg to a restored coral islet with giant tortoises and pink pigeons.
Eighteen date combinations are live, most of them in October when the weather peaks. At €490 return, this one will not sit around.
