Family Holidays in Mauritius

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.

The 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.

Family-friendly resorts and villas designed for kids

At MJ Holidays, we love it when families immediately feel at home in our villas. From the moment you arrive, the layout works for everyone: spacious living rooms, en-suite bedrooms so each generation has its own space, fully equipped kitchens for breakfasts at your own pace, large terraces for slow afternoons, private pools for the kids.

Inside the resorts, family-focused offerings make daily life easy: kids' corners, books and games, babysitting on request, bikes for teens, secure properties with controlled access. Your children are free to roam between villa, garden and pool — and so are you.

And to make your family holiday in Mauritius truly personalised, our concierge attends to every detail: a beach picnic for everyone, an in-villa chef dinner once the kids are in bed, a couples' massage at the villa, a private boat outing for the day, a quiet birthday cake brought out at the right moment. The promise is simple: easy, friendly family holidays, filled with memories to create together.

At Eko Savannah, you stay in the heart of the Mauritian savannah, a preserved, inspiring setting between beaches, trails and open skies. It is a real living space where families meet other travellers over brunch, tennis, weekend concerts and afternoon games — a sociable take on a family vacation in Mauritius.

Three places, three vibes, one promise: family holidays in Mauritius where you feel free, supported and genuinely welcome.
