Welcome to Mauritius!
A volcanic island in the Indian Ocean, Mauritius is famous for its turquoise lagoons, coral reefs, and easy, welcoming pace, and it’s often called the Star and Key of the Indian Ocean. Early July falls in the island’s winter, which simply means warm, dry, comfortable days in the 60s to 70s°F and cooler evenings, ideal weather for a celebration and for exploring afterward. Pack a light layer for the nights, and don’t forget your swimsuit for the beaches.
One charming bit of local pride: the national bird is the dodo, the famous flightless bird found only here. It’s been extinct for centuries, so you won’t spot one in the wild, but you’ll see it everywhere else, from the national coat of arms to shop windows across the island to our wedding invitations.
