Traveling to Mauritius in March
Getting Away to Mauritius in March
A stay to savor the moment
March settles in as a transitional month, balancing tropical warmth with a gentler, emerging softness. The southern summer is drawing to a close, landscapes are still bathed in light, brief showers give way to clear skies, and the island seems to slow down, perfect for a more peaceful journey.
You take your time: walking along a still-warm lagoon, tasting seasonal fruits, admiring a sunset on Le Morne Beach, or heading out early to explore the trails of the Black River Gorges. Each day unfolds in harmony with the climate, without rush.
With MJ Holidays, you stay in a place where you instantly feel at ease. Villas for rent in Mauritius with gardens, fully equipped apartments, discreet services… In our resorts, operated in full compliance with official tourism residence licenses, independence is complete and comfort is genuine. March in Mauritius becomes a moment apart: a simple, authentic, and deeply rejuvenating stay.
Summer warmth, clear light, living nature
March in Mauritius is when the intensity of summer gently begins to soften. Temperatures remain steady around 28°C, tropical showers refresh the air without ever spoiling the day, and landscapes nourished by recent rains are bursting with vitality.
The climate invites you to savor the moment: breakfast on the terrace, a stroll between casuarina trees and warm sand, a swim in a crystal-clear lagoon, or a quiet read as the sky clears. Days are long, evenings mild, and the air always carries hints of salt and promise.
In March, MJ Holidays invites you to experience Mauritius without filters, in a place that feels like you. Villas with private pools and fully equipped apartments for rent in Mauritius, freedom of movement, discreet service… The island reveals itself at your own pace, in a soothing and open setting.
March, the month of free discovery
March reveals a Mauritius that is still warm, vibrant, and generous, yet already more tranquil. Less crowded than at the height of the season, it lends itself to a journey of freedom, where each place is discovered without haste.
In the north, Grand Gaube retains its natural calm. The lagoon stretches peacefully, beaches are often deserted, and a few colorful fishing boats punctuate the scenery. Nearby, you can enjoy a relaxed meal at La Butte à l’Herbe, feet in the sand and mind at ease.
Grand Baie offers a livelier atmosphere, perfect for alternating relaxation and outings: terrace dining, markets, island excursions… Enough to shape contrasting days, depending on the mood.
On the west coast, between Tamarin and Black River, the pace changes: early-morning walks to spot dolphins, beaches like La Preneuse where time seems to stand still, and still-active salt pans that tell their story step by step.
The island’s interior also comes alive. Thanks to recent rains, nature is radiant. Chamarel with its nuanced earth tones, energetic waterfalls, the dense forests of the Black River Gorges… everything invites you to walk, breathe, and contemplate.
In Port Louis, the atmosphere is calmer: a city between seasons, where markets return to their usual rhythm and streets reveal themselves to those who take the time. Further south, Mahébourg remains true to its maritime spirit, blending authenticity with renewed serenity.
With MJ Holidays, every place is designed as a true home base. Comfortable, well-located accommodations to explore the island or simply unwind… and enjoy Mauritius in March in your own way.
March in Mauritius: What to do, what to Experience?
March combines tropical warmth, generous light, and nature at its most vibrant. It is an ideal month to enjoy the island differently, whether by stacking discoveries or slowing the pace, according to your wishes:
- Relax on warm sand: Pereybère Beach, the long stretch of Mont Choisy, or the coves of Belle Mare all invite rest. The water remains delightful, winds are moderate, and the atmosphere calls for swimming, reading, or simply enjoying the silence.
- Admire lush nature: nourished by summer rains, the island’s parks are radiant. Chamarel, the Black River Gorges, or the Ferney Valley are full of accessible trails where local flora and fauna can be observed in their natural environment. At dawn or late afternoon, changing light reveals the raw beauty of these landscapes.
- Observe marine life: snorkeling or scuba diving lagoons at Blue Bay, Île aux Bénitiers, or Tamarin are teeming with life. Tropical fish, colorful corals, and sometimes dolphins or turtles turn every dive into a sensory adventure.
- Head out to sea: by catamaran or speedboat, set course for Île aux Cerfs, Île aux Aigrettes, or Îlot Gabriel. Days punctuated by swims, beachside lunches, and relaxed cruising across the clear waters of the Indian Ocean.
- Immerse yourself in Mauritian daily life: in the streets of Port Louis, Mahébourg, or Cap Malheureux, you discover a living, inhabited island. Colorful markets, generous street food, and vibrant heritage… March is perfect for feeling the soul of Mauritius.
- Enjoy local traditions: the month of March in Mauritius is marked by events such as Independence Day or Holi. These are powerful moments when Mauritian culture reveals itself through color, rituals, and a joyful, shared atmosphere.
With MJ Holidays, everything begins in a place designed for you: a comfortable villa, a fully equipped apartment, a setting that lets you experience the island just as you imagined it.
