When to go to fully enjoy your relaxation stay?
The timing of your trip greatly influences the quality of your relaxation experience. Mauritius benefits from a pleasant tropical climate, but some periods are more conducive to absolute relaxation.
The best climatic periods of the year
The dry season, from May to December, is the ideal time for your relaxation stay. During these months, the trade winds bring a refreshing breeze that naturally tempers the tropical heat, creating perfect conditions for naps in the shade of the coconut trees.
Temperatures then range between 20°C and 26°C, with a more bearable humidity level than in the hot season. This period also coincides with the sunniest months, ensuring days bathed in golden light and spectacular sunsets over the Indian Ocean.
