Mauritius, a tropical paradise, offers a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure for those seeking unforgettable family vacations. With its year-round warm climate, it is a fantastic destination for families with kids of all ages. The island has a diverse range of activities, whether you're looking to unwind on pristine beaches, admire local wildlife, or embark on thrilling excursions, Mauritius has something for everyone.
Great Weather
The weather in Mauritius is great year-round and during the school holidays (July / August) it is mild and pleasant (18°C–25°C) despite it being the winter season. June to September are the low season which means you can get some excellent discounts. During school holidays there will likely be plenty of other families at your accommodation, providing your kids with other children to play with.
Almost all hotels and resorts in Mauritius accept children and cater for them specifically in providing excellent kids clubs where your children (and teenagers) will be kept constantly entertained. This also allows parents to get some well earned relaxation time. There are also babysitting services available in the evenings. On top of this, most hotels offer family rooms, 2 bedroom apartments, villas or at the very least, standard rooms with sleeper beds to accommodate one child.
Few Travel Requirements
You are not required to have vaccinations or take anti malaria tablets for a visit to Mauritius unless combined with another country. Visas are not required for most countries, including the US and the UK.
Tons of Activities
When you have an active family you are likely to be concerned if there will be enough to do on an island paradise. There are plenty things to do with kids in Mauritius, apart from just enjoying the sunshine on the beach or at the pool. All hotels offer a wide variety of land and water sports, many of which are free of charge. There is also plenty to do on the island itself, from excursions to Grand Bay or Port Louis to swimming with dolphins, catamaran cruises, deep sea fishing and even walking with lions!
The sea water is very safe to swim in so you can easily keep an eye on your children from the beach as they frolic safely in the water.
As a whole Mauritius is a very safe country politically so you have no need to be concerned about the overall safety of your family and can fully enjoy a vacation in Mauritius with kids.
Family-Friendly Accommodation
There are many family-friendly hotels and resorts in Mauritius. Many offer an all inclusive meal basis which for many families is appealing. This means not having to continuously worry about every drink or snack being consumed by your children going onto a large bill at the end of your stay.
We also feel that Mauritius will particularly suit extended families who wish to spend some quality time together. Grandparents, kids, parents, uncles and aunts can all be accommodated together in large, self contained family villas or residences complete with private pools, kitchens etc. This way the family have the privacy of a home away from home environment but can still make use of all the nearby hotel facilities.
Families of adults or teenagers who like golf would particularly suit resorts offering these above mentioned family villa type accommodations such as the Belle Mare Plage or Anahita The Resort.
For more adventure for your family why not combine Mauritius with a safari in South Africa or Kenya.
