Before you travel.

Citizens of the EU, the UK and Switzerland need no visa for tourist stays in Mauritius of up to 60 days. A valid passport — at least 6 months from the date of entry — and a return ticket are enough.

Rules can change, and we always confirm before each departure.

November–April is Mauritius’s warmer and rainier season. A defined cyclone season runs through the same period and peaks January–March.

In a normal year that means warm, humid days with short but heavy tropical showers rather than persistent rain — the golf continues between them. Cyclones that hit Mauritius directly are uncommon, roughly every three to five years, but they do happen.

Every guest travels on a programme that can be rebooked, and we require proof of travel insurance with weather and cyclone cover before final payment.

If a named storm directly threatens a departure we work with the hotel and the airline to rebook, rather than leaving guests to sort it out themselves. Departures at the edges of the season, November and April, carry the lowest weather risk.

The Mauritian rupee (MUR) is the local currency. Euros and US dollars are widely accepted at the hotels.

Allow roughly 3 000 kr to 5 000 kr per person per week for personal spending — extra drinks, spa, shopping and tips.

No vaccinations are required for travellers from the EU, the UK or Switzerland. We recommend keeping routine immunisations up to date.

Mauritius is malaria-free — the island was declared malaria-free in 1973 and prophylaxis is not needed. Insect repellent is still worth packing, mostly for comfort.
