Family Holidays in Mauritius

Family holidays in Mauritius
Sharing real moments together as a family in Mauritius
In Mauritius, families take the time to live without rigid schedules: peaceful beaches, outdoor activities, lagoon swims, hikes and meals around the table create the kind of family holiday in Mauritius that brings little ones, teens and grandparents together. Each MJ Holidays family villa rental in Mauritius is built for that: shared moments, full days, calm nights, easy logistics.
An island built for family holidays in Mauritius
Mauritius has a real gift for bringing families together. The days fill effortlessly: a swim in the lagoon at sunrise, a picnic in a nature park, a stroll through Pamplemousses Garden, a beach barbecue at sunset — and memories start to form on their own. The island is small enough to keep everyone close, varied enough to surprise everyone day after day.
At MJ Holidays, in our family villa rentals, we support every traveler with simplicity and care. Traveling with curious teens who want kitesurf and shopping in Grand Baie? With toddlers who need calm beaches and naps after lunch? With grandparents who prefer slow mornings and shaded terraces? Everything is arranged for your peace of mind: spacious villas with multiple bedrooms, fully equipped kitchens, flexible schedules, personalized concierge services and child-friendly equipment on demand.
And above all, that little extra touch that makes family holidays in Mauritius truly gentle: discreet attention, a reassuring smile, the freedom to enjoy everything together — or to split the family during the day and meet again at the pool in the evening.
Get ready for an incredible family stay in Mauritius with MJ Holidays — the kind your children remember twenty years later.

Family activities in Mauritius for all ages
On a family holiday in Mauritius, every family member finds their share of adventure. Between nature, culture, beach time and tasty treats, the island offers a wide range of family activities to enjoy at your own pace, together or in smaller groups during the day.
Here are some ideas tried and loved by our guests and their children:
- Casela Nature Parks: a family safari in 4x4, zip-lines over the treetops, encounters with giraffes, ostriches and lemurs — a great half-day for kids of all ages.
- Odysseo Aquarium: sharks, sea turtles and hundreds of tropical species in the largest aquarium of the Indian Ocean, a great rainy-day backup.
- Domaine de Gros Cailloux: wander shaded paths, let the kids play on wooden structures or feed farm animals — a relaxed family afternoon.
- L'Aventure du Sucre: discover the history of sugar through an interactive journey, complete with local sweet tastings, fascinating for older children and teens.
- Pamplemousses Botanical Garden: stroll through shaded pathways, admire the giant water lilies and the century-old trees — a calm parenthesis between two beach days.
- Port Louis Market: a real Mauritian bazaar full of tropical fruits, vibrant chatter and spice aromas, perfect to cook a market lunch back at the villa.
- Authentic Mahebourg: visit a traditional cassava biscuit maker, explore a history-rich museum, and end the day on a quieter beach away from the main resort areas.
- Quiet beaches: the calm lagoons of La Preneuse, Flic-en-Flac and Trou aux Biches are ideal for safe, serene family swimming.
- Organised picnics: a generous Creole basket, kids' games, the sea as a backdrop — your concierge takes care of everything so you only carry your towel.
- Catamaran day-trips: easy half-day or full-day cruises to Grand Baie's northern islets, with snorkel stops and a buffet lunch on board.
At MJ Holidays, everything is set for stress-free family holidays in Mauritius, full of shared delights and small daily wins for the kids.

DiscoverThe simple joy of a family beach day in Mauritius
You don't need a grand plan to savour Mauritius with your family. Lay out a towel, play in the sea, eat fresh tropical fruit and let time gently expand — that is the essence of a real family vacation in Mauritius.
At La Preneuse beach, in Riviere Noire, the lagoon is calm, shallow and lined with casuarina trees that provide natural shade for the kids. At Flic-en-Flac, the long curve of white sand gives space for sandcastles and beach soccer; at Mont Choisy in the north, families gather under the trees on Sundays for picnics that last all afternoon. While the children build sandcastles, watch the fish through a snorkel mask or splash in the warm shallows, the adults read, snooze or simply soak up the sun.
Good to know: our concierge can organise everything you need for a perfect family beach day — Creole picnic baskets, coolers, mats, umbrellas, snorkels for the kids, even a portable speaker. All you have to do is enjoy together.
That kind of unhurried, simple day is often what families remember most from a holiday in Mauritius.

Traveler reviews
“Two weeks at Marguery with our two daughters (8 and 11). The villa was huge, the pool fenced, the team super reactive. The kids loved Casela and the catamaran day with snorkel stops. We will definitely come back next year.”
Camille & Antoine — Marguery Villas — August 2024
“Three generations under one roof at Mythic Suites — grandparents, parents and three teens. Each found their pace: kitesurf for the boys, a quiet lagoon for grandma, the pool for everyone in the afternoon. The concierge organised a chef dinner for grandpa's birthday. Perfect family stay.”
Veronique — Mythic Suites & Villas — April 2025
“30-night long-stay offer with two kids in school. We worked from the villa during the day, the children attended a small local school nearby, and we travelled the island every weekend. The 30% discount made it possible. The team made us feel like locals.”
Marc & Eloise — Eko Savannah — February 2025
“First family holiday in Mauritius with a 14-month-old baby. We were nervous about the heat, the food, the logistics. Everything was anticipated: cot, high chair, baby-friendly menu, calm lagoon five minutes from the villa. We came back relaxed.”
Sophie — Marguery Villas — October 2024
“We split 12 nights between Mythic and Marguery for our family stay. The transfers were included from 10 nights, and the change of scenery in the middle of the trip was the best decision — the kids felt like they had two holidays in one.”
Julien & Karine — Mythic + Marguery — July 2025
