Mauritius enjoys a mild climate throughout the year, with temperatures averaging 25°C and waters warm enough for swimming at any time. April to June and September to December are the best times to visit this tropical island to avoid the height of seasons.

In peak summer, Mauritius experiences high temperatures and humidity. This is the perfect time for those who love to spend time in or on the water, enjoying activities such as scuba diving and deep-sea fishing. February and March sees heavier rainfall and winter maintains a mild temperature of 22°C, with slightly reduced sunlight hours. The windier months of July and August are perfect for surfing enthusiasts and hold magical stargazing opportunities.
