FAQs/Essential Information
Everything you need to know before you go.
What is the best time of year to visit Mauritius?
expand_more
Mauritius is a year-round destination, but the "sweet spot" depends on your preference. For the best balance of sunshine, low humidity, and calm seas, visit between April and June or September and early December.
Do I need a visa to enter Mauritius?
expand_more
Most tourists do not need a visa for stays of 60 days or less. You must simply hold a valid passport, proof of onward travel, and sufficient funds for your stay.
Is Mauritius safe for international travelers?
expand_more
Yes, Mauritius is remarkably safe for tourists and consistently ranks as a stable, welcoming destination. Standard travel precautions should be practiced as you would in any destination.
What currency is used, and can I use foreign cash?
expand_more
The official currency is the Mauritian Rupee (MUR). While major hotels and upscale restaurants accept international credit cards, it is best to tip and pay for local market items in local currency, as staff prefer rupees over foreign cash.
How should I handle tipping?
expand_more
Tipping is discretionary but always appreciated for good service. In top-end restaurants, 10–15% is standard. For hotel staff (bellhops/housekeeping), a small cash tip (e.g., 100 MUR) at the end of your stay is a kind gesture for attentive service.
What is the best way to get around the island?

For flexibility, we recommend private car hire or booking a private driver. For an authentic local experience, the public bus network and the Metro Express are affordable and reliable ways to travel between major towns.
