Mauritius
Turquoise lagoons, volcanic peaks and warm island hospitality: discover our home island through handpicked stays and authentic local adventures.
Mauritius is our home island and the heart of everything Bliss Holiday does. White sand beaches, coral lagoons, sugarcane hills and a culture shaped by Africa, India, China and Europe make it one of the most complete island destinations in the world.
October to December (Peak Season & Ideal Beach Weather): The premier period for warm sunshine, calm crystal lagoons, and clear blue skies—perfect for beach stays, swimming, and catamaran cruises. May to September (Austral Winter & Breezy Adventures): Cooler, pleasant, and breezier weather (20°C–25°C). Excellent for hiking, road trips, kitesurfing, and sightseeing, especially along the sheltered north and west coasts. January to April (Lush Tropical Summer): Warm and humid with occasional tropical showers and vibrant green scenery—ideal for discovering waterfalls, nature parks, and warm ocean swims.
