@@LucyLeheilleix hi we aere going to Mauritius on june 30th in the rio creole hotel can i meet you there we can possibly have some thing to eat there or at your place
My wife and I have been to Mauritius for ten days in February several years ago. We just fell in love with the island and its people. Weather-wise it was indeed hot and humid, but it was such a welcome escape from our Belgian winter that we enjoyed it. We had rain every single day, but it was all short-lived showers that did not ruin the sunshine that still prevailed most of the day. Have we been lucky weather-wise? I don't know, but what I know is that I hate rain at home and in Mauritius it did not bother me. The circumstances of life and of the world (COVID) have so far prevented us from going again to Mauritius, but we definitely want to go back.
Been there in February 2019 and think that was awesome!!! Yeah, some days it was a bit too hot for unaccustomed visitors but the weather patterns made for absolutely mind-blowing sunsets and sunrises! We were staying mostly on the southern coast and had a chance to enjoy both every day. Photo-wise that was a totally gorgeous trip! And occasional rains didn't really bother much. Even getting wet in those temperatures was nothing to be afraid of. But now that I got myself injected with the kiteboarding I wanna come back somewhere in May or later to explore this other side of the island. :)
The weather is so unpredictable these days, one never knows what one will get. February is great for swimming, but some find the humidity unbearable. May is a great month 👍🏻
Staid for 2 months beginning of December until end of January. One week was constantly raining but as the temperature never drops you can still do beach walks or swimm. Otherwise we were very happy and yes it's warm but not to hot as there's a constant breeze. Love Mauritius
Been there last October/November. It was becoming warmer every day and we were glad for the decision coming before it is really getting hot. This year we will hopefully make it in October. We're up near Grand Baie in a perfect location right by the sea where the wheather conditions are a bit more stable. Prefere to rent something instead of a 5* Hotel. Looking forward. Great island with wonderful people. Lovely food.
Excellent video and information, as always. I like the use of video clips from other multiple times and conditions of year to show the nature of the narrative. Be safe as cyclone Batsirai forms and approaches.
Hello Lucy, we are (hopefully) coming to Mauritius in September for 15 days. Even if we don't have good weather for a day, there is enough to do in Mauritius that also works when it rains. Tip: Just watch Lucy's videos 😉 (shopping, oceanarium, distillery) And when the weather is nice we enjoy the island, fly drones, go snorkeling, just have a good time 😀🌞🌴🏖️🇲🇺🦎😁😉
Hi! could you please share your experience how it was in september? We are planning the same, not sure if september or october (september seems to be much cheaper)
@@marinahuber9228 Hi, yes I was there from 19th - 30th September. We stayed at the hotel La Pirogue at Flic n Flac. Weather in this area should be okay, but I was informed that weather in different areas is too cold and windy, and it is no-go. Flic n flac was good - too hot when it was sunny, but little bit cold when it was cloudy (80% of time!) So there was need to wear light sweatshirt especially in the afternoon / evening. After 4 pm it was too cold even for staying in the swimming pool, some days sea was cold, other days it was okay. Conclusion = next time I would choose october for beach holidays, but it was okay for exploring. Important information - weather keep changing every few minutes and it is absolutely unpredictable. Sometimes it was cloudy and we wanted to go for trip and before we changed clothes and prepared, it was suddenly hot and clear sky. Sometimes it was sunny, and before we took swimsuit to go to the sea, it started raining. Not really my favourite weather conditions :)
Thank you Lucy, one of the most authentic perspectives on Mauritius weather, I am a very frequent visitor generally in March in Le Morne area….yes it’s hot & one or 2 days of rain….I’m going to try May next time! Thanks so much.
Hi, we are planning to go to Mauritius, two weeks in mid of March 2024. How many rainy days can we expect? And in case of rain, how long lasts a rain shower approximately? THX
Having visited the island four times since 2001, I have been in July, August, October and April….on the whole for me it’s the start of their summer is best….not too humid, nice and toasty…..last trip was a few weeks ago, it was very humid, and many flowers were past their best, sea was warm mind, so it’s horses for courses, I would say, it comes down to location, very windy Belle Mare Plage, but much calmer at La Pirogue….if you want cold, miserable wet…then try Curepipe in mid winter…..it is like home from home…..but pleasant in summer…lovely videos, thank you.
Best time is during a cyclone! It's proper amazing. The main thing is that it's hot so the water and the rain doesn't matter at all, and being English it's a delightful because here in the UK the weather is far worse than a little cat 5 cyclone. Although, being without a radiator to dry your clothes on isn't funny especially if you get to day 3 without sun or running water! Honestly, cyclone weathers the best time to be there!
Hi Lucy thanks for the amazing videos.. We were planning to go next mid September but we are worried about the water temperature.. We want to explore the island for sure but we also want have beachlife with some relax days enjoying that wonderful beaches/water not wearing any snorkeling wetsuit..
Hello. September should be around 25 degrees in the ocean. Usually it’s a nice time of the year, but the weather is so weird these days….it’s impossible to tell. Regardless, I’m sure you will have fun. 🤩
it is definately January/February reasons: #1 you might enjoy a beautiful tropical cyclone. Perhaps it is a once in a life time experience. 🙂 #2 the island is empty of tourists therefore everything is cheaper and more comfortable, there is no annoying mass anywhere, the traffic jams are not that serious. #3 it is winter in Europe so nothing is better than jump up two seasons in only 18 hours.
Great video and content, as usual, Lucy 😃 I personally do prefer the summer season (especially November/December) in Mauritius though - it's more lively. I guess Mauritian summer is more bearable when you live on the central plateau 😅
It can be like that….particularly last year’s winter. It all depends on the day really. The weather is becoming less and less predictable. At least we have had some rain and the dams have had a slight top up. 😄
How was the weather in that period? I was going to book it but we are worried about the water temperature.. We want to explore the island but also have beachlife and enjoy that wonderful beaches/water..
@@alessiorufino6010 Hello, fan fact we went to the Seychelles (Mahe ) instead , but it was a beautiful vacation anyway. Weather wise it was overcast sometimes with ocasional showers, but the temperature was never below 25 degrees and the sea was always warm. We are going again this yaer (unless there is a WW3 in the world ).
I would love to hop on a plane right now regardless of rain,cyclones and mud because I have been trapped here in Perth for 2 years and 3 months as we are forbidden to travel overseas. AND, we have had 5 consecutive days over 40 degrees ! I watch your Channel to cool down !
Hi Lucy. The Last time i visited Mauritius was end of May in 2015. Although the weather was very pleasant n sunny I found the sea temperature not ideal for swimming. I'm coming end of February I hope and pray the weather will be on our side
That was a 👍 watch, trying to find out what it is 'likely' to be like first 2 weeks in November on the east coast, (sunshine attitude) Read some horrible reviews of rain and wind making it unsuitable for swimming, fishing and snorkeling. Would love to hear your views, thankyou.
Unfortunately the weather is no guarantee. The east generally is windier than most other places on the island. For this reason, I recommend the west 👍🏻
I prefer October, right balance between Summer and winter with loads of sunny days and warming sea temperatures. I would avoid coming May to August, sea is not ideal for swimming, most days are cloudy and anticyclones(winds from south pole) every few days
Yeah October is a great month, but if one participates in wind sports, then May to August are generally the windiest. Guess it depends on what one wants to do. Thanks for your input.
Would make a vlog about would be good to pack when visiting for 2 weeks? Some stuff that should not be forgotten at home and that are really necessary during the holiday. Thx♥️
Thank you for that. Two weeks to go till our trip out to Mauritius, looks like a thin waterproof could be useful. Minus4 degrees yesterday morning driving to work, so looking forward to your 30+. Very stressful time now, as we have to test PCR negative the day before we fly. We have no control over that, just trying to stay away from the crowds etc. 😎⛱☔🍹🤞
@@oliveringram3056 what company are you using for tests and how much is it cost? I bought randox tests for home testing but now thinking to return them and go to the clinic for sample and quicker turnaround. Thanks
Great vlog Lucy and great info and advice as always. I’ve been bing watching your blogs as we are due to visit for two weeks at the end of the month at the sugar beach resort, soooooooo excited. Thanks again ❤️📸🇬🇧🤓👍
Great video thanks, so i want to come to the west cost (Dinarobin Beachcomber Golf Resort & Spa) in june for a sun tan, im assuming its warm enough coming from England :)
Hey thanks for this video! We are set to come during the last week of May, I’m so worried we are going to have lots of rain that week - what’s the rain like in May please ?
Enjoy the island! I’m sure you’ll have a great time. I’m not sure how wet it will be as the weather is unpredictable. Regardless, I’m positive you’ll have some nice days.
Hi l was there in 2020 from August to November of the weather was fantastic l thought it was summer 😂😂 l stayed in Voila hotel then in October l changed to Anantara in the south. I must say l enjoy your videos l am planning to come again next year. Please keep updating us. Cheers
I was there last week for the first time Hot and humid And people said to me that it will be better in 2 or 3 months It was fine for me Hope to be there soon See u 👋
@@LucyLeheilleix during my 5 days I had time to go to the Pouce, to the beaches, to visit aimes malls , etc …. Following your advices , tips and videos!! Thanks a lot I guess one thing is missing on your channel 😜😇 It’s about meeting people in Mauritius 🇲🇺 I am coming alone here In may , and last week there , I was thinking about that How to meet people here when you’re coming from abroad 🤟
@@LucyLeheilleix I don’t know but I was thinking about that …. Dame !!! How to meet people here ? I am coming from Nowhere 🤟 … hurry up… let’s go and see Lucy’s channel 🤪 I’ve found so many thing on your famous Mauritius channel but nothing about how meeting people here 🙏 Thx a lot each time to take time to respond to me Have a good night 💤
Great channel Lucy! I am planning on coming right at the start of April for a couple of weeks, is this a good time to visit? How has the summer months been?
Hi Lucy, lovely informative video! 🤩 I'm thinking of traveling to Mauritius in June. I'm being told to desist as there's chances of torrential rain & cold. What are your thoughts?
Hi, I’m going there as an exchange student, and I get to chose between between mid-February to early June. I really just want ideal beach weather, not a lot of rain, not to humid and not to windy. I’m going there for 7 weeks as well. What time period do u recommend? Thanks
Hi Lucy, just discovered your great channel. We'll be in Mauritius in the Grand Gaub area in mid March. How are the rainy days mid March? Are they short sharp afternoon showers? Or all day downpours? We're worrried about downpours, not so much the temperature or humidity. Thanks!
Hello. Downpours are usually fairly short, however if there’s a heavy rain warning it can last several hours. You’ll be fine. It’s all part of being in the tropics! Enjoy your stay.
I wouldn't agree about the best time to visit Mauritius, Winter, if I'm wanting to taste the different tropical fruits of Mauritius as they all ripen in summer. The best pineapple in the world grows there, the Queen Victoria pineapple and it's probably my favourite tropical fruit. If I wanted to experience a bit milder temperatures then I agree that winter is better and definitely cooler. The last time I came to Mauritius was in 2013 when I came in July for the first time in winter with my youngest daughter, previously the family would come anytime from November to February. The humidity in summer never bothered me terribly, although Port Louis could be a bit hotter and more uncomfortable. Regardless of the time of year, the sun is strong and it's not hard to get sunburnt and I have more or less olive skin, but was still concerned about the sun's strength as far as getting sunburnt. Actually thinking back to when I was in Mauritius last, the weather was much more pleasant in the winter. And regarding tropical fruit, I wondered why the pineapple tasted so good when the Australian grown pineapple was mediocre and then years later I read that most judges of quality fruit regard the Queen Victoria pineapple as the best pineapple in the world. Lychees are also like very much and don’t think I’d ever tried one before I first went to Mauritius with my wife in 1985. And papaya which I thought I didn’t like when I tried it in Mauritius it tasted good. I can’t recall if the papaya I tried was local or imported from South Africa as it was winter in Mauritius when I tried the papaya although I understand papaya can ripen in autumn also.
Thanks John for your comment. As the climate is mild all year round, I think the only fruit missing in winter would be litchis as one can get pineapples on the island all year round.
Hello lucy, we are planning to visit in June 2024. Is it too windy and cold (we would like to relax on the beach too) to go to la morne beach, especially Dinarobin beachcomber? Many thanks for your feedback and thanks for you video.
Great Video! What do you think about June, thinking about going to a hotel in the east of the island. Could there be a problem with wind and rain? Thanks!
Hi Lucy. I watched lots of Mauritius videos which advised to travel to Mauritius in May. My family and I are coming Mauritius Saturday (May 4th) we do love beach and pool time. I’ve just been worrying a little about the temperature. Will it be warm enough to have beach and pool days? Will we be cold? Great channel btw
That sounds lovely. In theory you should have warm sunny days, but with a bit of wind. Not too much humidity and who knows if it will rain!? The weather is so unpredictable 😅Either way, I’m sure you’ll have fun 👍🏻
@@LucyLeheilleix yeah, there the ones. All year you say? Fantastic. Can't wait to see them, if all goes to plan, I'll have six weeks to enjoy! Them and the bats are amazing
What about the end of March..? My wife's birthday is the 27th and I want to surprise her with a trip to either Four Seasons or one of the big four up north..?
Hi 👋 thanks for the VLOG! My wife and I are just finalising our trip to Mauritius for September 2022 and we are trying to decide which side of the Island to stay. We have heard the east coast is very windy at that time of year something to be concerned about?
My wife and I were in the North West,Fort Balaclava, the first 2 weeks of November '21 and the most disappointing thing was the weather.Absolutely gorgeous on the mornings but by lunchtime cloud built up.A boat trip to Isl aux Cerf was almost ruined by a grey start and a trip to Le Morne was drizzly.So expect it to be changeable,it is an island?
I like the fact that your videos are not lengthy, mostly less than 10 min...but very informative! You should give us some tips on how to get an excellent shape and fitness as you...I can see the biceps coming lol :D
October/November or April/May. Summer is pretty rough here in my opinion, and people don't really want to come to tropical islands during their "winter". I personally enjoy winter here.
Hi , we usually do Barbados every summer last week in June and first week in July , we are slightly concerned about if it is warm enough these months in Mauritius . Especially in the evenings, would we need jackets etc? Also Where would be the warmest part of the island during this time, we’ve been looking at hotels on the west and north , any help would be great
Hello. It will definitely be cooler in Mauritius then. One can be lucky and have fabulous sunny days and cool evenings (yes bring a light jacket). Personally I prefer April/May and October/November. The West is the hottest part. Try and get a hotel with a heated pool….
I plan to be in Mauritius for 10 days in August around ending pls what do I need to know? Such good standard affordable hotel, night life, shopping and tourist attractions? I intend to celebrate my birthday there which falls on the 25th of same August
We want to visit Mauritius for the first time. We are scared but only could come end of June beginning July to Mauritius. We want to go to the north west to Connier beachcomber. What should we expect 20-25 degree? Is it cloudy the whole time? We don’t care if it’s cold on the evening but a bit of summer holiday feeling would be good^^ we also want to explore the island. We are so unsure and can’t decide… can you help please?
Well it is Mauritius’ winter time so it will not be baking hot, but also not icy cold either. Unfortunately I’m not a weather god so I can’t tell you how cloudy, rainy, windy or sunny it will be. 😃 However, Mauritius is lovely and I’m sure you will have a great time. It’s usually warm during the day and a jumper is needed at night. Aim for a hotel with a heated pool. Have fun 🤩
Hello Lucy, we're watching your videos from Italy because we're looking to come visit mauritius from the end of july to august, do you know if in the north-west side of the island the winds are not strong like in the east and south side?? because we don't do water sport we would like to go snorkeling and scuba-diving. Hope you will read this and give us an advice, thanks!!
Hi, Was thinking of travelling to the east coast (belle mare) in mid/late June. How is this wind during this period?? Where is the best place to avoid wind if the east is windy Thanks!
Hi Jack. That is the windy season. I’d go north or west, but Mauritius has many sheltered bays. The most beautiful part of the island is the SW (in my opinion). Have a great time 👍🏻
Hi Lucy really informative content thankyou quick question as I think I might gone wrong I booked 2 weeks march 2nd 2023 but we love the sun and beach and coming from.the UK this is a very expensive holiday would you recommend I change the month
Hi Neil. Don’t take my word for it as the weather these days is so unpredictable, but I’d say March will still be very warm and sunny. If you’re used to an English summer, this will be paradise 😄 All I ask is please don’t blame me for the weather 😉
I am now confused. Online it states on many sites that the best time to visit Mauritius is toward the end of the year, from October through to December, when temperatures are hottest. But now you say that December has terrible rain. We are to visit from Canada in December. Are we doing it wrong? BTW Any tips on an affordable all-inclusive? Or other suggestion?
Hi Mark. My two favourite months are May and October....Cooling down in May and heating up in October. Humidity is way lower too.... December there are always the chances of cyclones and rain. Airbnb may be the way to go if you want affordable. Some of the hotels here are eye watering prices.
Hi Lucy. Would be really great to see a video with some tips on Wing Foiling. We've only just taken up the sport but finding it really difficult. Have a 9yr and 12yr old whom are also attempting it. We do not live in Mauritius but plan to spend winter months there.
Hi! That’s so amazing that your kids are learning to foil. For sure I can make a video on that….Good luck with coming out here. The conditions for foiling are incredible.
Hi there. The weather is so off at the moment….we’re experiencing such a cold winter that I’m finding it increasingly hard to answer that question 😬 If you want hotter weather, maybe October/November or March/April? December to February will be hot and humid, but it’s also the cyclone season. I hope that helps!?
@@LucyLeheilleix thank you, tropical places are always a little unpredictable arent they, let’s keep everything crossed 🤞 thanks for the quick comment loving your vlogs 👍👍
The water temperature is around 24 degrees. Definitely still warm enough to swim 😊Normally there is less rain, but the weather is becoming less and less predictable.
