Best Time to Visit
May through December is ideal with cooler, drier weather (70-80°F) perfect for outdoor activities and beach relaxation. November through April is summer (75-90°F) with warmer temperatures, occasional cyclones (January-March), and higher humidity-best for diving with warmer water. The west coast remains calmer during southeast trade winds (May-September) while the east coast experiences rougher seas. Kitesurfing peaks June-September at Le Morne. Year-round warm weather makes Mauritius attractive in all seasons.
