This stunning island nation – with its breathtaking white beaches, crystal clear waters and lush greenery – is the ideal summer getaway with highs of 28C in April.
April marks the transition from summer to autumn in Mauritius. The weather is typically warm and sunny, making it a popular time for tourists to visit. However, bear in mind that April is also cyclone season in Mauritius, so there may be tropical storms or heavy rainfall.
The average daily temperature in Mauritius ranges between 22C (72F) and 28C (82F). The days are usually hot and sunny, perfect for beach activities and water sports.

Mauritius enjoys about seven hours of sunshine each day in April, providing ample time to partake in outdoor activities and admire the island’s beautiful landscape. However, April can also bring moderate rainfall.
On average, Mauritius receives about 130mm of rain in April, with occasional showers and thunderstorms. Therefore, it’s wise to pack an umbrella or raincoat in case of unexpected rain.

Throughout history, it was under Dutch, French and British rule, but the Republic of Mauritius gained independence in 1992.
Since then, it has welcomed its religious and cultural diversity, fostering a unique culture that merges Indian, African and European influences.
