Before you land in Mauritius, a few simple habits make the whole trip smoother: knowing when to come to avoid cyclone season (January to March), how to pay (the Mauritian rupee, cards work almost everywhere), and how to stay connected with a local SIM bought at the airport.
Our practical guides gather what we wish we'd known on arrival — managing a daily budget, staying healthy (mosquitoes, sun, pharmacies), travelling solo safely, or finding things to do on rainy days. Everything to set off with peace of mind, whether for a week or to settle in.
