Updated 2026-10-29 · For travellers from India — flying from Delhi (DEL), Mumbai (BOM), Bengaluru (BLR), Chennai (MAA), Hyderabad (HYD), Kolkata (CCU), Kochi (COK) and other international airports
Mauritius punches well above its size for Indian travellers. It is visa-free, a single direct flight away from four major Indian cities. Has strong cultural ties with India, a sizable Indo-Mauritian community, plenty of vegetarian food, and a familiarity that takes the edge off a first international trip. Want a budget beach break, a family adventure, an honeymoon, or a full-luxury retreat? Mauritius has a resort for every budget. Our packages cover all four, with breakfast, airport transfers, and excursions already folded in, so you spend your time at the lagoon, not sorting logistics.
Four Indian cities have direct (non-stop) flights to Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport (MRU): Delhi (DEL), Mumbai (BOM), Bengaluru (BLR), and Chennai (MAA). From Delhi, Air Mauritius operates direct services with a flight time of around 7 hours 45 minutes. From Mumbai, both Air Mauritius and Air India fly non-stop in roughly 7–8 hours. From Bengaluru, IndiGo runs 4 flights a week, the most convenient option for South India, clocking in at around 6 hours. Air Mauritius also serves Chennai directly. Travelling from Hyderabad, Kolkata, Kochi, Pune, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, or other cities? You will typically connect via Dubai or Doha, bringing total travel time to roughly 10–14 hours. Always check current schedules before booking, routes and frequencies shift seasonally.
Mauritius works year-round, but the sweet spot for Indian travellers is May to October, the island's dry, cooler season at roughly 20–26°C. The January–March wet season brings occasional cyclone risk, so travel insurance is particularly worth having then. From India, the busiest booking windows are:
• **April–June**, Indian school summer holidays; families and honeymooners fill seats fast, so book 2–3 months ahead.
• **October–November**, the Diwali and post-Diwali long weekend is increasingly popular for a quick getaway.
• **December–January**, Christmas and New Year is peak season globally; prices are at their highest, but the atmosphere is genuinely festive. Holi long weekends in March also see a small spike in bookings for shorter 4-night breaks.
Good news: Indian passport holders do not need to apply for a visa before travelling to Mauritius. Entry is granted free of charge at the immigration counter on arrival at MRU, for stays of up to 60 days for tourism. What to carry: a valid Indian passport (six months' validity from your travel date is the safe standard), a confirmed return ticket. Proof of accommodation, a hotel booking or your Travelzeego package confirmation works perfectly. Immigration may also ask for evidence of sufficient funds for your stay. This is the general rule as of 2026. Entry conditions can change, so verify the latest requirements on the official Mauritius Passport and Immigration Office website (passport.govmu.org) before you book. Visa-free entry covers tourism and family visits only, it does not permit working or studying.
The total cost depends on four things: your package tier, your departure city (which affects flight prices), the time of year, and what you spend on the ground. Our packages start from approx. ₹32,700 per person for a 4-night stay (the Budget Beach Escape, at USD 389 per person in double sharing). For a family of four on our 5-night Family Fun package, expect the package cost alone to be approx. ₹79,700 per person before flights. Our luxury and honeymoon tiers run to ₹2,18,000–₹5,32,000+ per person. Add return economy airfares from India (see the budget table below), daily spending money of approx. ₹2,000–₹6,000 per person per day. Any optional activities outside your package, and you have your full trip cost. Prices are in USD per person in double sharing; INR conversions are approximate.

The currency in Mauritius is the Mauritian Rupee (MUR), do not confuse it with the Indian Rupee. Carry some MUR for taxis, tips, and markets. A forex card loaded in USD or EUR before departure is a practical choice and sidesteps poor airport exchange rates. Most resorts and restaurants accept major debit and credit cards. UPI and Indian rupees are not accepted in Mauritius, so plan ahead and avoid exchanging large amounts at the airport. **TCS note for Indian travellers:** From 1 April 2026, tour operators in India must collect TCS (Tax Collected at Source) at 2% on the full value of any overseas tour package, from the very first rupee, there is no minimum threshold for tour packages. This is not a permanent extra cost: you get it credited against your income tax when you file your ITR. It does affect upfront cash flow, however. Under LRS, resident Indians can remit up to USD 2,50,000 per financial year. Confirm current TCS rules with your travel agent or tax advisor before booking.
