Differences between Mauritius and the Maldives

Differences between Mauritius and the Maldives

There are some interesting differences between Mauritius and Maldives in this article that will help you get a better view of Mauritius and some useful information you should know when planning an interesting trip to Mauritius.

The temperature of water and air in the Maldives is kept almost at the same level throughout the year: the air is warmed up to + 30-35 ° C, water – + 27-28 ° C. The Maldives Sea is famous for its calmness and not too dangerous depth, for which vacationers with children greatly appreciate it. In addition, here you can get a unique feeling of living itself: secluded bungalows built directly above the water – the trademark of the islands.

In Mauritius , unlike the Maldives, there is still a conditional “winter”. In winter, the air temperature does not stay at + 26-28 ° С, the water temperature is quite pleasant – + 24-25 ° С. This is a real find for those who can not stand the sweltering heat. In addition, in the mountainous areas of Mauritius inland, the air temperature is on average 10 °C lower. In addition, Mauritius is a rather secular fashionable resort, chosen by the French and British, with all the necessary infrastructure.

As for the price, both destinations are classified as extra-class travel. Of course, in the Maldives you can find inexpensive guesthouses and save on accommodation, but the level for such money is really not very good. Also, there are promotions for traveling to the Maldives, and in Mauritius a little cheaper in winter. In any case, almost a large item of expenditure in such trips is air tickets.

What is the best currency to travel to Mauritius

Although some hotels in Mauritius indicate prices in euros, and the more common currency is the euro, there is not much fundamental difference with what to travel with. You can safely take any of these two currencies or both at once, anyway, on the spot you will need to exchange your dollars and euros for Mauritian rupees.

When is high season in Mauritius

The rainy season in Mauritius is not particularly pronounced: in fact, it lasts all year round, but from June to November the rains subside somewhat, the heat subsides. However, the heat on the island is well tolerated: breezes blow, a pleasant coolness reigns at night. At the same time, despite the climatically most favorable time, June on the island is a month of relative calm.

Many tourists prefer to arrive in Mauritius from November to March, despite the rainy season. Moreover, the rainy season on the coast is not very burdensome: showers do not last long and they are weaker than in the mountainous areas and the center of the island. During this period, there is more sun on the island, even at night it is hot and very humid. Possible cyclones. However, you can swim in the ocean, as it is protected by coral reefs.
