Know Before you Go

The choice is yours, as the country has the goods to suit the most diverse of couples. There’s also activities like kitesurfing, fishing, and beachside walks to capture your fancy, easily inquired by when searching for the best family resorts in the Mauritius.

When to go and more Tips

Like most island countries, the weather can be pretty stable for most parts of the year. However, some months are drier than others, so be forewarned, and pack sensibly. English is the official language of the country, although French and Creole are also widely spoken. Avoid travelling in January and February, as heavy rains might put a damper on your plans to stay in a luxury spot such as The Residence Mauritius.

You can explore coral reefs, or zipline across ravines. You can picnic in the picturesque Black Gorge park, or check out the lilypads at the botanical gardens. Spa days, rum tastings, street food, and many more memorable experiences await.
