What to Know When Planning a Stay in Mauritius

Planning a trip can be a delicate task. Before you embark on your adventure, a few practical details are essential to ensure a smooth day.

Required Documents for a Vacation in Mauritius

Are you traveling to Mauritius from France, Belgium, Reunion Island, or Luxembourg? Forget about visa issues: you won’t need one for a stay of less than 90 days. However, make sure your passport is up to date and you have a return ticket. It’s also advisable to book a hotel room. Although medical insurance isn’t mandatory, it is highly recommended.

What Currency is Used in Mauritius?

The local currency is the Mauritian rupee (MUR). While bank cards are accepted in most stores, it’s a good idea to carry some local currency for small purchases in markets or for tipping.

The exchange rate of the Mauritian rupee (MUR) against the euro (EUR) may fluctuate. For example, a typical rate might be around 45 to 50 Mauritian rupees for 1 euro, but this changes constantly. For accuracy, we recommend checking financial websites or banks.

What Are the Temperatures Like in Mauritius?

In Mauritius, the sun shines almost all year long! Temperatures range between 20°C and 30°C, meaning there’s year-round shade to enjoy and plenty of reasons to bring out the sunglasses! From November to April, sultry days invite you to the beach, while from May to October, you can enjoy a warm, dreamy backdrop for outdoor adventures.
