Summer
The British summer months coincide with the Mauritian winter season bringing a drier climate and average temperature highs of 24°C.

Rest assured, rain showers and grey clouds turn into blue skies quickly as January and December make the hottest months of the year. With plenty of festivities on the table, you’ll find resorts and shopping centres draped in Christmas decorations.
Best hotels for Half Term & school holidays in Mauritius
Located in the heart of Flic en Flac along the West coast, La Pirogue is the perfect resort for you to whisk the kids off to during the school holidays. La Pirogue is host to the Sun Kid’s Club on site which provides a selection of fun activities for your little ones to partake in, ranging from scrapbook-making to stand-up paddleboarding and much more.
Make the most of some much-needed time to yourself while your little ones are at the kids club and make sure you either indulge in a spa treatment, use the fully equipped gym, enjoy a volleyball game down at the beach, Snorkel in the Indian Ocean or sip on one of the many signature cocktails on offer here.
If all of this isn’t tempting enough, then the fact free accommodation and meals are available for two kids under 12 and you'll also have access to the Sugar Beach Resort; this should more than seal the deal.
