Are you planning on visiting Mauritius in the near future? This island paradise has so much to offer its visitors, but it’s important you’re properly prepared if you want to make the most of your trip. From picking the right Mauritius resort to deciding what time of the year you want to go, this article helps you prepare for your upcoming holiday!
What to Pack
While each person is different, you should make sure you have these essentials packed in your bag for your Mauritius retreat:
- Sun hat
- Sunglasses
- Swimming costume
- Smart/casual wear for dinners
- Comfortable shoes for hiking
- Your usual medication
- A good book or something to do when relaxing
- Camera for taking photos
When to Go
Mauritius, with its consistently mild climate, is an ideal destination for year-round trips. But many people say the best time to visit Mauritius is during the shoulder seasons between April and June or September and December. This way, you’ll enjoy mostly warm and dry conditions.
Where to Stay
You are truly spoiled for choice in your search for the perfect resort in Mauritius. A few things you may want to consider are:
- Distance from the airport
- Location
- Room preferences
- Family friendly facilities
- On-site activities
Creating a Budget
While Mauritius isn’t considered a ‘cheap’ holiday destination, it can accommodate most budgets. It’s good to have a clear idea of how much you’re willing to spend on your holiday. Just make sure the amount is realistic. Visitors on a tighter budget can explore minimalistic accommodation options to save money and prioritise expenditure on activities they’re interested in.
Keep in mind that tips are a formality in Mauritius. In most cases, a 10% service tip is automatically added to your restaurant bill. If it isn’t, it is still seen as obligatory to tip service staff.
Visa Requirements
Most tourists coming from Commonwealth countries can stay in Mauritius for up to ninety days. You will need to make sure you have a return or onward ticket and the address of the hotel you’ve booked at.
