When to book a flight from Marseille to Mauritius

When to book a flight from Marseille to Mauritius?

Located in the Southern Hemisphere, Mauritius experiences two main seasons:

The austral summer, from November to April, is hot and humid, with frequent rainfall and the risk of cyclones.
The austral winter, from May to October, is drier and milder, with average temperatures ranging from 20°C to 25°C — making it the ideal time to explore the island’s natural wonders.

Despite the island’s generally pleasant climate year-round, travelling during the austral winter allows for more varied activities and visits to key attractions such as Cap Malheureux and its red-roofed church, the Pamplemousses Botanical Garden, or Le Morne Brabant mountain peak.

If you’re looking to avoid crowds and high prices, we recommend skipping the Christmas period and, more broadly, any school holiday periods, as demand is high and prices surge.

Whether you plan ahead or book last-minute, you’ll find great deals — so book your return flight today and get ready for an unforgettable stay!

Upon arrival at Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Airport

After your journey from Marseille to Mauritius, you will land at Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Airport. This airport is located about 50 km from Port Louis.

Transport in Mauritius

To reach your accommodation and drop off your luggage, you have several options. Taking a taxi is effective, but be mindful of the rates charged. Several bus lines serve the island: while not the fastest means of transport, they offer a practical and low-cost way to explore. Very recently, Mauritius has also introduced a metro line. For short trips, particularly within central Mauritius, this is a preferred option. Lastly, for excursions with full freedom, renting a car is ideal. However, do not wait until you arrive on the island — make your reservation before your departure.
