What Should You Bring When Travelling to Mauritius?

I.

Light, breathable clothing

Mauritius boasts a warm, tropical climate year-round, so packing light, breathable clothing is a must. Opt for cotton and linen fabrics to keep cool. Think sundresses, shorts, t-shirts, and tank tops. Don’t forget a light sweater or jacket for cooler evenings, especially if you’re visiting during the winter months (June to September).

👗

II.

Swimwear

With its beautiful beaches and crystal-clear waters, you’ll want to spend plenty of time swimming and soaking up the sun. Bring a few swimsuits so you always have a dry one ready. A stylish cover-up for beach days and poolside lounging is also a good idea.

III.

Sun Protection

The tropical sun in Mauritius can be intense, so protecting yourself from harmful UV rays is crucial. Pack a high-SPF sunscreen, sunglasses, and a wide-brimmed hat. Consider bringing aloe vera gel or after-sun lotion to soothe your skin after a day in the sun.

🧴

IV.

Comfortable Footwear

Exploring Mauritius means you’ll be walking on sandy beaches, hiking through nature reserves, and strolling around charming villages. Bring a pair of comfortable sandals for casual outings, flip-flops for the beach, and sturdy walking shoes for more adventurous activities.

🥾

V.

Waterproof Gear

Given its island nature, Mauritius can experience sudden rain showers. A lightweight, waterproof jacket and a small foldable umbrella will come in handy. Waterproof bags or pouches can protect your electronics and important documents from unexpected rain or splashes.

VI.

Insect

Repellent

While Mauritius is relatively free of dangerous insects, mosquito bites can still be a nuisance. Pack a reliable insect repellent to keep those pesky bugs at bay, especially if you plan to spend time outdoors in the evenings or near water.
