The list below ranks the island's resorts by real guest ratings, our score breakdowns, and plan generosity. It is a long haul from North America, so the plan matters: a stingy one on an island where you rarely leave the resort gets expensive fast. Tap through for what each plan covers, and see our Mauritius guide for the coast-by-coast picture and the cyclone calendar.

Picking the resort is half the work; our Mauritius travel guide covers the rest: when to go, weather month by month, safety and entry requirements, and how the areas differ.
How this ranking works
Every list on this site draws from the same catalog: resorts we've individually researched, with the all-inclusive fine print read so you don't have to. The order weighs verified guest ratings, what's genuinely included at the base rate, and how each property performs on the thing this list is about: here, mauritius.
The seal next to a resort is its Palmprint: our 0–10 grade for how well it delivers on this list's promise, the same mark you'll find on its full profile. The details of what we weigh, and what disqualifies a resort outright, live in how we score. Lists are re-reviewed as ratings and policies change; this one was last checked September 2026.
Frequently asked questions
Which coast of Mauritius is best?
The east for the beach, the west for calm water and the least rain, the north if you want to leave the resort in the evening, and the south for space and a coast that has not been built along. Honeymooners tend to pick the east or the west; families with small children often prefer the west's calmer, drier lagoon.
When is the best time to visit Mauritius?
May to November: cooler, dry and cyclone-free. The cyclone season runs November to April and peaks from January to March. Resorts are well drilled for it, but it is the trade-off for summer warmth.
