How safe is Mauritius?

Mauritius Island

Mauritius is a popular tourist destination for its beautiful nature and generally kind hospitality. However, while there are generally not too many reports of assault of any kind, at least in the major tourism spots, it is still highly possible to have uncomfortable interactions with the local men in general.

Mauritius, Solo travel

I traveled to Mauritius alone — it was a business trip. To be honest, I felt quite safe there. I stayed in a budget apartment for about €50 per night. It was a small apartment with access to a terrace, a shower, and a kitchenette. I highly recommend renting a car, as taxi prices are almost the same — if not exactly the same — as the daily cost of a rental car. The island is quite small. I visited several beaches, went on a tour, and swam with wild dolphins. I also took a trip to the capital, Port Louis. I didn’t have a lot of time, so most of my trip was about relaxing on the beach. There are also special tours to some of the smaller nearby islands — I definitely recommend taking one, they’re incredibly beautiful. And don’t miss the chance to try their local homemade rum — it’s very tasty and smooth.

About Me

Hi there! I am Pika and I am from Mauritius Island. If you're planning to visit Mauritius after in 2026, just send me a text :)) (I'm not available before). Hotels can be really expensive if you're on a tight budget and being a broke student, I can totally relate with that. So, don't save for hotels and spend on the food, tours, and clothes instead!
