All Months
May through November gives you the sweet spot - dry season with temperatures hovering around 25°C. The trade winds keep things comfortable, and you'll actually want to explore on foot.
Avoid December through March unless you enjoy sweltering humidity and potential cyclones. Port Louis sits in a natural amphitheater that traps heat, making summer particularly brutal. Plus, many locals take holiday during December, so some restaurants and shops close.
The shoulder months of April and November offer the best deals on accommodation while still delivering decent weather. Just know that April can be unpredictable - you might catch the tail end of cyclone season.
Here's a local tip: visit during Chinese New Year (usually February) if you can handle the heat. Chinatown explodes with celebrations, dragon dances fill the streets, and restaurants serve special dishes you won't find other times of year.
