Vacation Rentals in Mauritius

Mauritius has an eventful history behind it, which is still reflected today in the everyday life of the people. After colonisation by the Portuguese in the early 16th century, the Dutch took over the colony until they were replaced by the French in 1715. Even though the British replaced the French at the beginning of the 19th century and released the country into freedom in 1968 after more than 450 years of foreign rule, French still dominates culture and language today.

The tropical climate makes Mauritius a popular destination for winter refugees from December to April. However, the climatically optimal travel time is before or after the rainy season between June and November. At this time, the average maximum temperatures of 24 to 27 degrees Celsius are not quite as high as they are at the same time with significantly low humidity. Water temperatures of 23 to 29 degrees Celsius, however, invite you to swim all year round.
