Perfect Wedding Weather: When to Plan Your Mauritius Celebration

Mauritius enjoys tropical weather year-round, but timing affects both weather conditions and pricing for your destination wedding.

Seasonal Wedding Planning Guide:

Season	Months	Weather	Advantages	Considerations
Dry Season	May-November	20-26°C, Low humidity, gentle trade winds	Perfect outdoor weather, crystal-clear skies	Higher venue prices, booking essential
Warm Season	December-April	25-30°C, Higher humidity, occasional showers	Lower accommodation rates, lush tropical scenery	Brief tropical showers are possible

Peak Wedding Months for Best Conditions:

• May-July: Ideal weather conditions with moderate pricing and availability

• September-November: Perfect climate but highest demand from couples worldwide

• December: Premium holiday season pricing but a magical festive atmosphere
