Mauritius
Summer (November to April): This is the warmer, wetter, and more humid season. Pack shorts, t-shirts, sundresses, and skirts. Swimwear is important for beach days or hotel pools.
Winter (June to September): This season is cooler, drier, and less humid. Continue with light clothing for daytime. Shorts, t-shirts, and light dresses still apply.
Comfortable Walking shoes or sturdy Sneakers are necessary. You will walk a lot on uneven sidewalks and busy streets in Port Louis.
Sandals, flip-flops, or comfortable slip-ons are perfect for relaxing, beach visits (outside Port Louis), and casual strolls.
Water shoes are highly suggested if you plan to explore rocky beaches, walk on coral, or participate in water sports. They guard your feet from sharp objects.
Keeping your documents organized and secure is a part of travel preparation.
Mauritius uses Type C (European 2-pin round) and Type G (UK 3-pin rectangular) electrical outlets. The standard voltage is 230V at 50Hz. A universal Travel adapter with multiple plug types is strongly suggested.
Stay connected and capture memories with the right tech gear.
Use cloud storage services (e.g., Google Drive, Dropbox) to regularly back up photos and copies of travel documents. This protects your memories and information if device loss occurs.
A High-capacity power bank keeps your phone and other devices charged throughout long days of sightseeing, especially when away from power outlets.
Consider ESIM services like Airalo for seamless connectivity without physical SIM cards. For security and access, a VPN like NordVPN or ExpressVPN is useful for secure browsing on public Wi-Fi.
A small, well-stocked health kit will aid comfort and safety.
Protect against sun and insects, and maintain personal hygiene.
If you prefer your own equipment for comfort and hygiene, bring a personal Mask and snorkel. Fins are bulkier. Most tour operators offer rental gear.
If you hike mountains like Signal Mountain or Le Pouce, bring comfortable, sturdy Walking shoes or light hiking boots. Moisture-wicking tops manage sweat.
No specific items beyond general tropical Travel gear. For model ship enthusiasts, a small sturdy bag to carry a purchased model ship carefully.
Small items greatly increase comfort and security during your trip.
Consider items that suit the Mauritian climate and travel style.
Reduce plastic waste. Filtered water access.
Biodegradable options for minimal impact.
For markets and daily shopping.
Charge devices with sunlight.
Pack versatile items that mix and match, for a lighter luggage load. Use packing cubes to organize your clothes and other items efficiently within your suitcase.
Roll clothes instead of folding to save space and reduce wrinkles. Wear your heaviest shoes and jacket on the flight to save luggage weight and space.
