Mauritius Holidays from South Africa
Planning a Mauritius holiday from South Africa? IslandStays specialises in helping you choose the right Mauritius resort, location and holiday package for your needs. From family-friendly beach resorts and all-inclusive holidays to romantic escapes and luxury getaways, we look beyond the brochure to help you understand which resort is actually right for you.
We work with established travel partners to arrange your Mauritius holiday, while our role is to provide the personalised advice and resort knowledge that helps you make the right choice — before you book.
Choosing the Right Mauritius Resort
Mauritius has an impressive choice of resorts, but they are not interchangeable. The beaches, atmosphere, location, accommodation, activities and meal plans can vary considerably from one resort to another.
That's where our advice can make a difference. We help you compare the options and identify the resorts that best suit your priorities — whether that's a long sandy beach for walking, a family-friendly resort, excellent food, watersports, a romantic setting or a more luxurious experience.
Why Choose Mauritius for a Holiday from South Africa?
Beautiful beaches
Mauritius is surrounded by lagoons and coral reefs, with beaches ranging from the long sandy stretches of the east coast to the sheltered lagoons of the west and north.
Excellent resort choice
From family-friendly resorts and all-inclusive properties to sophisticated luxury hotels, Mauritius offers accommodation for very different styles of traveller.
Great for couples and honeymoons
Mauritius combines beautiful beaches, excellent resorts, romantic settings and plenty of opportunities to explore beyond the hotel.
Excellent for families
Many resorts offer kids' clubs, family rooms, children's activities and sheltered lagoons, making Mauritius particularly appealing for family holidays.
More than a beach holiday
You can combine resort time with golf, hiking, sightseeing, catamaran cruises, watersports, markets and exploring the island's landscapes and culture.
Easy to combine with other travel
Mauritius can also work well as part of a longer Indian Ocean or Africa itinerary, including safari and beach combinations.
Which Mauritius Resort Is Right for You?
There is no single “best” resort in Mauritius. The right choice depends on what matters most to you — beach, location, accommodation, children’s facilities, food, watersports, golf, nightlife, privacy or overall atmosphere.
Here are some of the resort groups and properties we regularly help travellers compare:
Beachcomber Mauritius
Beachcomber operates eight resorts in Mauritius, ranging from the sophisticated Royal Palm to family-friendly options such as Mauricia and Victoria. We can help you compare the eight resorts and identify which one best matches your holiday.
Beachcomber Mauritius holidays are particularly worth comparing because the eight resorts offer very different experiences, despite belonging to the same resort group.
Club Med Mauritius
Club Med offers a particularly strong option for travellers looking for an all-inclusive Mauritius holiday, especially families and active couples. La Pointe aux Canonniers combines a beautiful beachfront setting with kids' facilities, watersports and activities, while La Plantation d’Albion offers a more relaxed, upscale experience on the west coast. The exclusive Albion Villas provide a more private option for families or couples seeking additional space and privacy.
Not sure whether Club Med is right for you? We can help you compare Club Med with other Mauritius resorts based on your priorities, budget and preferred style of holiday.
LUX* Mauritius
LUX* offers a distinctive, contemporary style across several Mauritius resorts, with properties suited to couples, families and travellers looking for a more lifestyle-focused resort experience.
Constance Mauritius
Constance is particularly well known for sophisticated resorts, golf, dining and luxury, making it worth considering for couples and travellers looking for a higher-end Mauritius experience.
All-Inclusive Mauritius
If you prefer to have most of your holiday costs covered in advance, we can help you compare all-inclusive options and understand exactly what is included at each resort.
What Can Be Included in a Mauritius Holiday Package?
Mauritius holiday packages can be arranged in different ways depending on the supplier, resort and your requirements. Depending on the package you choose, your holiday may include:
Return flights from South Africa
Airport and resort transfers
Resort accommodation
Breakfast, half board, full board or all-inclusive meals and drinks
Selected non-motorised watersports
Optional excursions, golf, spa treatments and other experiences
We'll explain exactly what is included in your quotation, so you can compare packages on a like-for-like basis.
Mauritius Family Holidays from South Africa
Mauritius works particularly well for families because there are resorts with kids' clubs, family accommodation, children's activities and sheltered lagoons. But the family experience varies considerably between resorts, so choosing the right property is important.
Family-friendly resorts worth comparing include: Mauricia Beachcomber, Victoria Beachcomber, Trou Aux Biches Beachcomber and selected LUX* and other family-oriented resorts.
Mauritius Honeymoon Packages from South Africa
Mauritius is a popular choice for honeymoons because couples can combine beautiful beaches, romantic resorts, excellent dining and activities with as much — or as little — sightseeing as they want.
The best resort for a honeymoon depends on whether you want privacy and seclusion, a spectacular beach, activities and watersports, exceptional dining or a more luxurious resort experience. We can help you compare the options rather than simply recommending the most expensive resort.
Mauritius honeymoon packages can combine beautiful beaches, romantic resorts, excellent dining and activities with as much — or as little — sightseeing as you want.
When Is the Best Time to Visit Mauritius?
Mauritius can be visited throughout the year, but weather and sea conditions vary between seasons and parts of the island. May to October is generally cooler and drier, while November to April is warmer and more humid.
The “best” time depends on what you want from your holiday. For a detailed month-by-month guide, see our [Best Time to Visit Mauritius] guide.
Beaches, Snorkelling & Watersports
Mauritius is surrounded by a lagoon and coral reef, making swimming, snorkelling and watersports an important part of many Mauritius holidays. The experience differs around the island, however, which is another reason to consider the location and beach carefully when choosing your resort.
If a good beach for walking, running, swimming or watersports is particularly important to you, tell us when enquiring and we'll focus your resort options accordingly.
