Winter vacation in Mauritius: hotels, prices and ways to save

When is the best time to go

Mauritius works for a break at any time of year. Russian tourists most often pick the December‑to‑February window, but from May to October the air stays around +25‑27 °C and the ocean remains warm. In those months the east and south coasts can get breezy, so when you book you should think about where the hotel sits.

How to choose the coast

• West (Flic‑en‑Flac). Long stretches of sand, nice sunsets, easy launchpad for day trips.
• North (Grand Baie). This is where the resort infrastructure concentrates: restaurants, shops, nightlife.
• South‑west (Le Morne). Mountain backdrop and beaches, good conditions for water sports, a handful of upscale hotels.
• East. Endless beaches and large resort complexes, but the summer months may bring strong winds.

Your pick depends on what matters more – seclusion, active fun, or a lively night scene.

Popular hotels

Beachcomber chain

These properties range from 4‑ to 5‑star. The biggest draw for Russian guests are Paradis Beachcomber Golf Resort & Spa and Dinarobin Beachcomber Golf Resort & Spa, both perched on the Le Morne peninsula. They’re often recommended for families, couples and golf lovers.

West Coast

If you crave a western sunset, try La Pirogue Resort & Spa (4 *) or Sugar Beach (5 *) from the Sunlife group. Both combine solid beaches with a well‑developed infrastructure.

The St. Regis Le Morne Resort

A 5‑star property at the foot of Le Morne mountain, with its own beach and a high level of service. It shows up frequently on wish‑lists.

LUX* Resorts & Hotels

Modern design and a strong focus on food make these spots attractive for couples after a stylish break.

Le Méridien Ile Maurice

A 5‑star hotel that offers good conditions and often appears in discount promotions.

Romantic options

• LUX Grand Baie* (north) – nice beach, close to Grand Baie restaurants.
• Maradiva Villas Resort & Spa (Flic‑en‑Flac) – villas with private pools, seclusion and the chance to watch the sunset from your own pool.

How to save money

• Up to 40 % off at The St. Regis Le Morne Resort from Jan 10 to Mar 20 2027 and from Apr 10 2027 through the end of the year.
• Le Méridien Ile Maurice runs promotions with discounts up to 35 %.
• For stays of 10‑14 days some hotels add free nights, lowering the average nightly rate.

How to get there

There are no direct flights from Russia at the moment. Groups organized by the tour operator “Russian Express” fly via Dubai with Emirates. The program runs from Nov 4 2026 to Apr 7 2027. Departures are twice a week – Wednesdays (9‑night tour + 2 days) and Saturdays (10‑night tour + 2 days). The layover in Dubai is about three hours one‑way and four and a half hours on the return.

Approximate prices

According to Russian Express, a week in a 5‑star hotel in January 2027 starts at 396 000 RUB for two people. Higher‑end options reach 480‑550 000 RUB. Sample prices for selected hotels:

• St. Regis Le Morne Resort – from 541 600 RUB.
• Le Méridien Ile Maurice – from 395 700 RUB.
• Paradis Beachcomber Golf Resort & Spa – from 478 400 RUB.
• Dinarobin Beachcomber Golf Resort & Spa – from 480 700 RUB.
• Shangri‑La’s Le Touessrok Resort & Spa – from 550 400 RUB.

These figures include flight, accommodation and breakfast, but exclude extra excursions and personal expenses.

What else you can do on the island

• Visit Chamarel waterfall and the national parks.
• Join sea excursions where dolphins sometimes appear.
• Check out the “underwater waterfall” – an optical illusion created by the sea‑floor’s shape.
• For a romantic mood: dinner on the beach, a yacht ride or a helicopter flight.

Winter in Mauritius blends mild climate, varied beaches and the chance to snag solid discounts on premium hotels. With the right coast, hotel and booking window, the trip can be both comfortable and affordable.
