Mauritius
Mauritius is what happens when a tropical island decides to overdeliver. Lagoons so still they look photoshopped, volcanic peaks wrapped in jungle, and a food culture that borrows from three continents and makes it entirely its own. With our Mauritius tour packages from Dubai, you skip the research rabbit hole and go straight to a trip that is actually planned well. Tell us your dates and your style, and we'll take care of the rest.
This is not a fly-and-flop destination. You can hike through Black River Gorges in the morning, eat Creole curry for lunch, kitesurf in the afternoon, and still make it to a beach sundowner. Couples, families, groups of friends, and honeymooners who want more than a resort room, Mauritius delivers for all of them.
Have a rough idea of what you want? Share your dates and budget, and we will send you 2 to 3 tailored options.
The Indian Ocean around Mauritius is not just pretty. It is warm, calm, and absurdly clear. Snorkel straight off the beach at Blue Bay Marine Park. Swim with dolphins off the west coast near Tamarin. Kayak through mangroves at Amber Island.
For the more adventurous: kitesurfing at Le Morne, deep-sea fishing off Grand Baie, underwater sea walks in Grand Bay, and catamaran cruises to Ile aux Cerfs. Our customized tour packages from Dubai are shaped around whether you want to live in the water or simply look at it from a lounger.
Mauritius has no indigenous population. Everyone came from somewhere else, and that mix is exactly what makes the culture so rich. Indian, African, Chinese, French, and Creole influences sit side by side in the food, the festivals, the languages, and the architecture.
You hear it in the Sega music played on beaches at night, drums and swaying that trace back to African and Malagasy roots. You taste it in a single meal: dholl puri from the Indian tradition, fried noodles from the Chinese community, and French-style pastries for dessert. Hindu temples, mosques, churches, and pagodas share the same streets. Mauritius celebrated its independence from Britain in 1968, but its identity was being shaped long before that, through centuries of colonial rule, sugar plantation history, and the blending of communities that chose to stay and build something together.
Mauritius perfected the art of the all-inclusive. Wake up late, eat too well, float in an infinity pool that bleeds into the ocean, repeat.
The west coast has the best sunsets. The north has the liveliest beach scene. The East Coast is quieter, with long stretches of sand and turquoise lagoons. Our all inclusive holiday packages from Dubai cover accommodation, meals, and resort experiences so your only job is deciding which pool to use.
Not sure which coast suits you? Tell us what matters most and we will match you with the right resort.
Chamarel's seven-coloured earth and dramatic waterfall. Black River Gorges National Park with its endemic wildlife and jungle trails. The botanical garden at Pamplemousses, one of the oldest in the southern hemisphere. Port Louis's bustling Central Market.
Then there is the food: dholl puri from a street vendor, Chinese-Mauritian fried noodles, fresh seafood on the beach, and rum distillery tours. Our customized tour packages from Dubai blend beach time with the island's culture and landscape so you see more than just your resort.
Some travellers want overwater suites, private beach dinners, and spa-forward resorts that feel like their own island. We can arrange luxury holiday packages from Dubai that deliver exactly that. Others want a comfortable beachfront stay with smart inclusions and room to explore, and our affordable holiday packages from Dubai are designed for that balance.
Travelling with a bigger group? Our group tour packages from Dubai handle room blocks, shared excursions, and group dining so the logistics stay invisible. For families, we match resorts and activities to your children's ages because the right kids' club and the right beach make all the difference. That is what our family holiday packages from Dubai are built around.

Quick tips on what to pack, local culture, and smart insights to help you experience the Mauritius like a pro.
What to Pack
Light, breathable clothing year-round. A swimsuit or two (you will use them daily). Reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, and comfortable shoes for nature walks. A light layer for cooler evenings in the winter months (June to September).
Best Time to Go
November to April is warm and humid, ideal for beach holidays and water sports. May to October is cooler and drier, with pleasant temperatures and lower prices. Mauritius is genuinely a year-round destination, but December to March is peak season.
Flights from Dubai
Emirates operates up to three daily flights from Dubai to Mauritius, with the flight taking around 6 to 7 hours direct. The route is one of the most popular leisure connections from the Gulf.
Money Tips
The Mauritian Rupee offers solid value for UAE travellers. Cards are accepted at most hotels and restaurants, but carry cash for markets, street food stalls, and smaller shops.
Entry Requirements
UAE passport holders enjoy visa-free entry for up to 90 days. Most other nationalities receive a visa on arrival for tourism purposes. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months, and you will need a return ticket, proof of accommodation, and sufficient funds. All travellers must complete the Mauritius All-in-One Digital Travel Form before arrival. We can walk you through the details, or explore our visa included tour packages from Dubai if you want everything handled.
Staying Connected
Pick up a local SIM at the airport for affordable data. Wi-Fi is available at most hotels and resorts, though connection speeds vary in rural areas.
Food and Meal Plans
All-inclusive works beautifully at Mauritius resorts, especially for families. But eating out is half the experience: street-side dholl puri, seafood on the beach, Creole curries, and rum arranged by year. Budget for at least a few meals outside the resort.
Things to Do Beyond the Beach
Chamarel, Black River Gorges, Pamplemousses Garden, zip-lining at Casela Nature Park, quad biking, submarine rides, rum distillery tours, and Port Louis market walks.
Tell us where you want to go, your budget, and your travel style. We'll send a clear itinerary you can edit, until it feels perfect.
How many days should I spend in Mauritius?
Seven days is the most popular duration and gives you enough time to enjoy your resort, take a few excursions, and see the island's highlights. Ten days lets you explore more of the interior and try different coastal areas without rushing. Even a five-day trip works well if you just want beach and relaxation.
Which part of Mauritius should I stay in?
It depends on what you are after. The north (Grand Baie, Trou aux Biches) is lively with restaurants and nightlife. The west (Flic en Flac, Le Morne) has the best sunsets and kitesurfing. The east coast is quieter and more resort-focused. The south is dramatic and less developed, ideal if you like nature and rugged scenery. We help you pick the right fit based on your priorities.
Do I need a visa for Mauritius from Dubai?
UAE citizens enjoy visa-free entry for up to 90 days. Most other nationalities living in the UAE receive a visa on arrival for tourism. You will need a valid passport (at least 6 months validity), a return ticket, proof of accommodation, and sufficient funds. All travellers must also complete the Mauritius Digital Travel Form before arrival. Tell us your nationality and we will confirm what applies.
Is Mauritius family-friendly?
Absolutely. Many resorts have dedicated kids' clubs, family suites, shallow lagoon beaches, and activities that suit all ages. The calm, reef-protected waters make it one of the safer beach destinations for young children. Beyond the resort, there are nature parks, zip-lining, botanical gardens, and catamaran rides that families love.
Is Mauritius only for luxury travellers?
Not at all. While the island is known for its five-star resorts, there are excellent mid-range hotels, boutique stays, and self-catering apartments that offer great value. Street food is incredibly cheap, and most excursions are reasonably priced. The exchange rate works well for UAE travellers across all budget levels.
What is there to do in Mauritius besides the beach?
More than you might expect. Hike through Black River Gorges National Park. Visit the Chamarel coloured earth and waterfall. Tour a rum distillery. Explore Port Louis's Central Market. Try zip-lining and quad biking at Casela Nature Park. Take a submarine ride in Grand Bay. The island rewards anyone who looks beyond the shoreline.
