Luxury holidays in Riviere du Rempart

When to go

Known for its winter sun, Mauritius peaks from October to April each year. During this season, the surf (and the temperature) is up along the Rivière du Rempart, with soaring tropical climes balanced out by a cool, balmy breeze. May to September is ideal for inland explorers, with pleasantly warm conditions for hiking, but it’s best to avoid travel from January to March, that is of course unless you’re in the mood for a cyclone or two.

Getting there

• Planes

  The nearest International hub is Mauritius Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport. Flights arrive here from the UK and Europe, Africa, Asia Pacific and the Middle East.

• Automobiles

  While public transportation in the Rivière is reliable, it can be time-consuming especially when venturing into more isolated parts of the region. A car offers flexibility, but while road conditions are good along the main highways, the majority are narrow, hilly and winding. Opt for a 4WD, and remember to fill up in advance – petrol is cheap but stations are few and far between.
