One of the most frequent questions we receive from potential guests at Le Jadis Beach Resort & Wellness is, “When is the best time to visit Mauritius?” The answer depends on what you’re looking for in your luxury Mauritius holiday. Whether you’re a sun-seeker craving tropical warmth or someone who prefers milder, cooler weather, Mauritius offers something unique year-round.

Summer in Mauritius: A Tropical Paradise
If you’re dreaming of a classic tropical escape with warm sea breezes and sun-kissed beaches, then the best time to visit Mauritius is during the summer months—October to March. During this period, temperatures in Mauritius are at their peak, with average highs ranging from 29°C to 35°C (84°F to 95°F). The island is lush and green, thanks to the occasional rainfall that keeps everything vibrant and tropical.

However, summer in Mauritius also coincides with the wet season. While rainfall can be heavy, it typically occurs in short bursts, often in the late afternoon or evening, leaving plenty of sunshine for you to enjoy during the day. There’s also a chance of cyclones during these months, but in recent years, they have been mild to moderate. For those who love a warm, tropical climate and the opportunity to paddle in the warm sea, summer is undoubtedly the best time to visit Mauritius.

Winter in Mauritius: Cooler Comfort
If you prefer cooler temperatures and want to avoid any chance of cyclones, the winter months—May to September—might be the best time for your luxury Mauritius vacation. Although “winter” might sound chilly, temperatures in Mauritius during this time are pleasantly mild, ranging from 17°C to 25°C (63°F to 77°F). The lower humidity makes the weather comfortable for outdoor activities like hiking, sightseeing, and exploring the island’s natural beauty.

Even during winter, Mauritius offers blue skies and clear days, making it perfect for a relaxing holiday. While the sea water may feel cooler for swimming, at Le Jadis Beach Resort & Wellness, all our private pools as well as our Infinity Lap Pool are heated, ensuring you can enjoy a swim no matter the season. Additionally, our resort is nestled in a year-round sheltered cove on the north-west coast of Mauritius, which is naturally protected from harsh weather conditions. This means that even during winter or when cyclones approach from the north-east, our location remains one of the most pleasant spots on the island, unlike the more exposed eastern coast.

So, When is the Best Time to Visit Mauritius?
Ultimately, the best time to visit Mauritius depends on your personal preferences for your luxury holiday in Mauritius. If you thrive in warm, tropical weather and don’t mind a bit of rain or the possibility of a cyclone, then the summer months are ideal. However, if you prefer cooler temperatures, clearer skies, and want to completely avoid cyclone season, then visiting Mauritius in the winter is your best option.

At Le Jadis Beach Resort & Wellness, we’re dedicated to making your stay perfect, no matter when you choose to visit Mauritius. Whether you’re basking in the summer sun or enjoying the cool winter breeze, our luxury amenities including our private heated pools as well as our year-round sheltered location guarantee a memorable and relaxing escape.
