Set in the vast Indian Ocean east of Madagascar, Mauritius is just 45km wide and 65km long, enjoying a tropical climate of two distinct seasons – summer and winter. We say ‘winter’ (May – October), but even then the average daily temperature is around 25 degrees Celsius! The hot summer months (November – April) claim temperatures of up to 35 degrees Celsius on the coasts, so Mauritius is a year-round destination with virtually guaranteed sunshine.
