Mauritius Itinerary from India: 6 Days of Beaches & Nature

A 6-day Mauritius trip from India comfortably covers the island's best beaches, a nature/hiking day, and time for water sports — direct flights from Mumbai and Delhi reach Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport in roughly 5–6 hours. The island's dry, cooler season (May–December) is generally the more comfortable window for outdoor sightseeing, while November–April is warmer and more humid with a higher chance of cyclonic weather.

Sample 6-day plan

  • Day 1 — Arrive, settle into a beach base (Grand Baie in the north or Le Morne in the south-west are popular choices).
  • Day 2 — Beach day and water sports (snorkeling, catamaran cruise, or a glass-bottom boat trip).
  • Day 3 — Chamarel for the Seven Coloured Earths and a waterfall, plus a rum tasting at a local distillery.
  • Day 4 — Black River Gorges National Park for hiking, or Île aux Cerfs for another beach/watersports day.
  • Day 5 — Port Louis for the central market and waterfront, or a spa day at your resort.
  • Day 6 — Free morning before an evening flight home.

Budget guidance

As of mid-2026, a mid-range 6-day trip (3-star to boutique hotels, local and mid-range dining, a couple of excursions) for one traveller from India typically runs roughly ₹50,000–₹90,000 excluding international flights, which themselves vary (roughly ₹35,000–₹60,000 round-trip depending on season and lead time). Treat this as a rough band, not a quote.
