When is the best time for a holiday in Mauritius?

The ideal time to visit Mauritius is during the dry season from May to November. You can swim all year round as it's always warm. However, the tropical climate means humidity is consistently high. From December to April, there are more showers, and from January to March, there's a risk of tropical storms that may disrupt your holiday plans.
