Top 10 Best Mauritius Holiday Packages 2026-2027 | Honeymoon, Luxury, Family, All-Inclusive & Couples

No Indian Ocean island is easier for a South African to reach than Mauritius — a direct flight of about four hours from Johannesburg, no visa to arrange, and a warm lagoon waiting on the other side. It is the beach holiday a family can do without a long layover and a couple can slip away to for five nights, and it has been the region's favourite for a generation for good reason: long white beaches inside an almost unbroken coral reef, resorts for every budget, and a green mountainous interior that gives you somewhere to go when you have had your fill of the sand.

We have put together, compared and ranked the ten best Mauritius holiday packages for 2026 and 2027 — honeymoon, luxury, family, all-inclusive, couples, value and golf beach holidays — from the lively north coast to the grand resorts of the east. Each is a real, bookable itinerary with honest per-person prices and the transfers spelled out. For weather and the marine calendar, our separate best time to visit Mauritius guide has the month-by-month picture; and if you are weighing Mauritius against the other great Indian Ocean islands, our Indian Ocean islands compared guide sets them side by side.

How We Ranked These Packages

Each package was judged on five things: beach and lagoon quality (the sand, the reef, the swimming and the calm of the lagoon), accommodation standard (the resort, the room or villa, and the depth of service), inclusions (how genuinely all-inclusive the board basis is, and whether the airport transfer is built in), experience match (whether it suits honeymooners, families, golfers, couples or those after total luxury), and value (what you receive for the price, transfer included). Rankings reflect the best overall fit per traveller type, not simply the most expensive resort.

1. Honeymoon Beach Villa Escape — 7 Days

Best for: The classic Mauritius honeymoon — a beach suite, a lagoon to swim straight off the sand, and resorts that handle romance quietly.

Mauritius has been a honeymoon island for a generation, and it earns it. Where the Maldives puts you on a villa over the water, Mauritius gives you a proper beach — a long run of white sand, a warm lagoon you walk straight into, and a resort with gardens, several restaurants and a spa, so there is more to the days than one small island. The grand east-coast names — One&Only Le Saint Géran, Constance Prince Maurice, Four Seasons Anahita, Shangri-La Le Touessrok — and the south-west beauty of LUX* Le Morne and the Heritage estates handle honeymoons without a fuss: a candlelit dinner on the sand, a sunset catamaran, a quiet table set away from the crowd.

Seven nights is the right length — time to settle on one coast, take a catamaran to Île aux Cerfs, drive up to Chamarel for a day inland, and still have beach days to spare. For how Mauritius compares with the other Indian Ocean honeymoon islands, see our Mauritius vs Seychelles vs Zanzibar honeymoon guide; and for the resorts themselves, our best luxury resorts and hotels in Mauritius guide goes property by property.

Price from US$2,400 per person sharing (7 days, 6 nights beach-facing room, half-board, return airport transfers, honeymoon extras at most resorts; international flights extra, around US$650 return from Johannesburg). Grand east-coast suites from US$4,500pp. Best season: May–December for dry, cooler weather. Ideal for: Honeymooners, anniversaries, couples who want a beach and a lagoon.

2. All-Inclusive Luxury Resort Holiday — 7 Days

Best for: One clear price that covers meals, drinks and most activities at a genuine beach resort.

Mauritius does all-inclusive better than almost anywhere, and it is a big part of why so many families and couples return. The island's all-inclusive boards — at resorts such as Trou aux Biches Beachcomber, Sugar Beach, LUX* Belle Mare, Heritage Awali and Victoria Beachcomber — tend to be generous: all meals across several restaurants, a wide drinks list, and non-motorised watersports and the kids' club folded in. Because the resorts sit on their own beach with everything on site, once the short road transfer is done you need not spend another rand unless you choose to.

Seven nights lets you use the resort properly — the restaurants, the watersports, a boat trip, the spa — without rushing. All-inclusive is usually the better-value luxury choice in Mauritius, because the drinks and activities charged separately elsewhere are already in the rate. We read each board basis closely before we quote, because the gap between a full and a limited all-inclusive can be a wide one.

Price from US$2,200 per person sharing (7 days, 6 nights all-inclusive beach room, return transfers; international flights extra). Best season: Year-round; May–December is driest. Ideal for: Families and couples who want a fixed, no-surprises price.

3. Family Beach Resort Holiday — 7 Days

Best for: Families who want a kids' club, connecting rooms and a calm, shallow lagoon safe for children.

Mauritius is one of the easiest long-haul beach holidays to do with children. The lagoons are shallow and calm inside the reef, the resorts run proper kids' clubs and family rooms, and the direct four-hour flight from Johannesburg means no long connections with tired little ones. Family favourites — Trou aux Biches Beachcomber, Shandrani, Sugar Beach, LUX* Belle Mare and Victoria Beachcomber — have children's pools, supervised clubs and family-room or free-child deals that bring the per-person cost right down.

Seven nights gives a family room to breathe — reef snorkelling in the shallows, a glass-bottom boat, a day on Île aux Cerfs, and pool time in between. Transfers are short and by road, so there is no daylight-only seaplane to plan around as there is in the Maldives. For the best family beaches and the calmest lagoons, our best beaches in Mauritius guide points you to the right coast.

Price from US$1,900 per person sharing (7 days, 6 nights family room, all-inclusive or half-board, return transfers; international flights extra; child rates and free-child deals available). Best season: May–December for dry weather; the school holidays book early. Ideal for: Families with children, multi-generational groups.

‹›Mauritius With Children

Shallow, calm lagoons inside the reef, family beach resorts and an easy boat trip to Île aux Cerfs — why Mauritius is so easy with children. Swipe to see more.

4. Adults-Only Couples Retreat — 5 Days

Best for: Couples who want a quiet, grown-up resort and a shorter, easy beach break.

Not every couples trip needs a full week. Mauritius has a run of adults-only and couples-leaning resorts — LUX* Grand Baie, the adults-only wings of several estates, and the smaller boutique hotels — where the mood is calm and there is no children's club in earshot. With a direct flight and a road transfer of an hour or so, a five-night break is genuinely doable over a long weekend stretched either side.

Five nights gives four full days of slow mornings, a lagoon to swim in, a sunset catamaran and dinners out — a couples holiday without the cost of a longer trip. The west coast around Flic en Flac and Tamarin is the one we often pick for this: warmer water, the best sunsets, and the resident dolphins offshore in the mornings.

Price from US$1,650 per person sharing (5 days, 4 nights beach room, half-board or all-inclusive, return transfers; international flights extra). Best season: Year-round; May–December is driest. Ideal for: Couples, short breaks, first-time visitors.

5. Value Shoulder-Season Beach Holiday — 7 Days

Best for: A full week on the beach at a far lower price — by travelling in the quieter months.

A Mauritius beach week need not be dear. Travel in the shoulder months — roughly February to early April, or the cooler weeks of May and June — take a well-run three- or four-star all-inclusive on the north or west coast, and the cost drops sharply while the beach and the lagoon stay exactly as good. Resorts such as Mont Choisy, Pearle Beach, Le Mauricia and the smaller all-inclusives give you a full board and a beachfront room for a fraction of the peak-season grand-resort rate.

Seven nights at this level is the value sweet spot — all your meals, a beach and a lagoon, a boat trip or two, and a short road transfer from the airport. The trade-off is warmer, wetter weather in February and March; by May and June the island is cool, dry and quiet. For which months suit you, our best time to visit Mauritius guide lays out the weather and the deals.

Price from US$1,450 per person sharing (7 days, 6 nights all-inclusive beach room, return transfers; international flights extra). Best season: February–June for the best rates. Ideal for: Value-minded couples and families, longer stays on a budget.

6. Golf & Beach Holiday — 7 Days

Best for: Golfers who want championship courses and a beach resort in one trip.

Mauritius is one of the Indian Ocean's great golf destinations, and a golf-and-beach week is an easy thing to arrange. The island's championship courses — the Ernie Els-designed course at Anahita, the Legend and Links courses at Constance Belle Mare Plage, Heritage Golf Club at Bel Ombre, and the Bernhard Langer course on Île aux Cerfs — sit alongside or a short drive from the resorts, and most estates offer complimentary or discounted green fees for guests.

Seven nights lets a golfer play several courses across the week and still have beach and family time between rounds. The east coast at Belle Mare is the heart of the golf scene, with two courses and the grand resorts on the doorstep; the south around Bel Ombre is the other hub. We arrange the tee times, the transfers and the resort together so the golf and the beach halves of the trip fit neatly.

Price from US$2,600 per person sharing (7 days, 6 nights beach room, half-board, return transfers, green fees at the resort course; international flights extra). Best season: May–December for dry, cool playing weather. Ideal for: Golfers, golfing couples and groups.

7. Island Adventure & Dolphin Holiday — 7 Days

Best for: Travellers who want more than the beach — catamarans, dolphins, the reef and the island's interior.

Mauritius rewards the curious. A week here can take in a catamaran to Île aux Cerfs with a barbecue on the sand, an early-morning swim with the resident dolphins off Tamarin on the west coast, snorkelling and diving in the Blue Bay marine park, and a day inland at the Chamarel Seven Coloured Earths, the 83-metre waterfall and the Black River Gorges forest. The sacred crater lake at Grand Bassin and the botanical garden at Pamplemousses round out the island's non-beach side.

Seven nights gives you time to mix the water and the interior without rushing — two or three excursions, a couple of dives, and beach days in between. From July to November, humpback whales pass the west coast, adding a boat trip for the season. We build the week around the coast that suits your plans, and arrange the boats, the guide and the transfers.

Price from US$2,100 per person sharing (7 days, 6 nights beach room, half-board, return transfers; excursions and dives extra; international flights extra). Best season: May–December; July–November for whales; year-round dolphins. Ideal for: Active travellers, families with older children, divers and snorkellers.

‹›Island Adventures

Catamarans to Île aux Cerfs, dawn dolphins off Tamarin and a day inland at Chamarel — Mauritius is more than its beaches. Swipe to see more.

8. Ultra-Luxury Resort Holiday — 7 Days

Best for: The island's finest addresses — the grand east-coast and south-west resorts at the top of the Indian Ocean.

At the top end, Mauritius holds some of the most admired resorts in the Indian Ocean. One&Only Le Saint Géran, Four Seasons Anahita, Constance Prince Maurice, Shangri-La Le Touessrok and The Oberoi Beach Resort set the standard on the east and north coasts — large suites and villas, several restaurants, a serious spa, and the quiet, practised service these names are known for. On the south-west, Maradiva Villas, LUX* Le Morne and the Heritage estates give the same standard against the Le Morne mountain.

Seven nights does a resort of this calibre justice — the villas, the dining, the golf and the spa take time to enjoy. Many of these resorts offer private pool villas, butler service and a stretch of beachfront that does not appear in the brochures of the mid-market hotels. For the full rundown of the island's grand names, our best luxury resorts and hotels in Mauritius guide goes property by property.

Price from US$5,200 per person sharing (7 days, 6 nights luxury suite or villa, half-board, return transfers; international flights extra). Signature pool villas run beyond US$9,000pp. Best season: May–December. Ideal for: Milestone celebrations, luxury travellers.

9. Safari & Mauritius Beach Combo — 10 Days

Best for: The classic bush-and-beach — a Big Five safari first, then Mauritius to unwind.

The most popular way South Africans and long-haul travellers use Mauritius is as the beach half of a bush-and-beach trip. A few nights on safari in the Kruger, the Sabi Sand or a Kenyan or Tanzanian reserve, then a direct or one-stop flight to Mauritius for a week on the beach, makes a holiday that has both the wildlife and the rest. Mauritius is the easiest Indian Ocean island to pair with a South African safari, because the Johannesburg–Mauritius flight is direct and short.

Ten days carries the two halves comfortably — three or four nights in the bush, six on the beach. We handle the flights between the safari and the island so the switch is a single easy travel day. Our dedicated safari and Mauritius beach combo guide sets out the routings and the lodges in detail, and our luxury safari and beach combinations guide covers the wider bush-and-beach picture across Africa.

Price from US$4,800 per person sharing (10 days, safari lodge and Mauritius beach resort, most meals, inter-country flights; international flights extra). Best season: May–October suits both the safari and Mauritius. Ideal for: First-time and repeat Africa travellers who want wildlife and beach.

10. Grand Two-Region Mauritius Holiday — 10 Days

Best for: The complete Mauritius — two contrasting coasts in one trip.

For a longer stay, the best of Mauritius is a two-region holiday that pairs contrasting coasts. The classic version links the lively north around Grand Baie — the beaches of Trou aux Biches and Mont Choisy, the restaurants and the boat trips — with the grand, quiet east coast at Belle Mare for the second half. Each coast has a different feel, and ten days lets you settle into both rather than seeing one from a day trip.

This is the trip for travellers making the journey who want to see more of the island than one beach. We build the road transfer between the two coasts into a day out — a stop at Port Louis and the Le Caudan Waterfront, or a drive up through the sugar country — so the move between resorts adds to the trip rather than costing a day.

Price from US$3,600 per person sharing (10 days, two resort stays, half-board or all-inclusive, all transfers; international flights extra). Best season: May–December. Ideal for: Longer holidays, repeat visitors, travellers who want two coasts.

Honeymoon, Luxury, Family, All-Inclusive or Couples — Which Package Is Right for You?

The words travellers use most for a Mauritius holiday overlap, but they point to different trips. Here is how we read them when we plan:

• Honeymoon — a beach suite, a sunset catamaran and dinners on the sand, on a coast that handles romance quietly.
• Luxury — the grand east-coast and south-west resorts — One&Only, Four Seasons, Constance, Shangri-La — where the suites and the service set the standard.
• Family — a kids' club, family rooms and a calm, shallow lagoon, with a short road transfer and free-child deals to keep the cost down.
• All-inclusive — one price, no daily chit: meals, drinks and watersports folded in, the island's real strong suit.
• Couples — a quiet, grown-up resort and a slower pace, often on the sunset-facing west coast.

Most of our guests end up blending two of these — a luxury honeymoon, or an all-inclusive family week. Tell us which words matter most to you and we will match the resort, the coast and the transfer to them.

When to Go — and When to Book

Mauritius has two seasons. The cooler, drier winter, roughly May to December, is the peak for a beach holiday: warm sunny days, lower humidity and calm seas, with the island busiest and dearest from September to November and over the festive season. The warm, humid summer, December to April, brings hotter days, warmer water and the best diving visibility, along with a higher chance of rain and the cyclone risk of January to March. The west and north coasts are the most sheltered year round. For the full month-by-month picture, see our best time to visit Mauritius guide.

Peak weeks — the South African and European school holidays, and September to November — sell out early at the grand resorts; for those, book six to nine months ahead. For the quieter months of February to June the resorts run their best value and honeymoon offers, and three to four months is usually enough lead time. If your dates are flexible, the shoulder season is where the value sits — and it is often when the resorts run their free-nights and honeymoon deals.

Why Book Your Mauritius Holiday With Beyond Africa

We plan private Indian Ocean travel year round, and Mauritius is a short flight and a familiar island for us. We know which coast suits a honeymoon and which suits a family, which all-inclusive boards are genuinely generous, where the dolphins gather and when the whales pass, and how to pair a safari with a beach week so the flights line up. That means we can match the resort, the room and the coast to your trip honestly, and handle the transfers and the excursions so your days are spent on the beach rather than on the admin.
