If you’re looking for the perfect beach holiday to relax and unwind, there is nothing quite like booking one of the many ocean villas in Mauritius for a week or two. With the beach right on your doorstep, you can enjoy everything that the glorious Indian Ocean has to offer.
While you have many coastal destinations to choose from when booking a beach holiday— like the Maldives, Caribbean, Seychelles, and more— in this article, we’ll provide you with a few reasons why Mauritius is the ultimate ocean lover’s playground!
Mauritius Year-Round Warm Weather
One of the best things about a beach holiday in Mauritius is the warm weather you’ll enjoy all year. You can expect water temperatures to be between 26 and 29°C in summer and between 23 and 25°C in winter. You won’t need a wetsuit to enjoy the amazing variety of watersports and marine life on offer. You can spend hours in the water without getting cold, just remember to protect yourself from the sun.
In summer (November to April), ocean temperatures range between 26-29°C, making it perfect for swimming and snorkelling.
In winter (May to October), the water remains warm at 23-25°C, so you can enjoy the sea without a wetsuit.
Coastal Accommodations in Mauritius
While luxury villas in Mauritius are a popular accommodation choice, there are so many different types of accommodation to choose from if you want to stay near the beach and enjoy sea views. Whatever your budget and other needs, there is the perfect option to suit your specific preferences. Staying right on the water’s edge allows you to make the most of your beach vacation. Remember to keep an eye out for special offers to stretch your budget.
Diverse Marine Life & Snorkelling/Diving Experiences
Marine animal lovers will be delighted by the variety of marine life on offer in Mauritius. The waters surrounding the island are home to dolphins, moray eels, turtles, and hundreds of different types of fish. Admire them by booking a boat trip or a snorkelling/scuba diving excursion. The clear water is perfect for this activity.
Here are some locations:
Dolphins & whales (found near Tamarin Bay)

Moray eels, rays, and reef sharks in deeper dive sites
