March in Mauritius marks the final phase of the tropical summer, characterised by warm, lush conditions with temperatures averaging between 24°C and 30°C. The Indian Ocean is at its most inviting, with water temperatures reaching a balmy 27°C, making it the peak time for snorkeling and swimming in the turquoise lagoons.
Travel Tip: March is a period of high humidity and occasional tropical showers, which often pass quickly - to stay comfortable, pack breathable linens and light cotton fabrics. The tropical sun is exceptionally strong this time of year, so a wide hat and frequent applications of water-resistant sunscreen are non-negotiable.
