Mumbai to Mauritius Flights

The Mumbai to Mauritius air route connects Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (BOM) to Sir Seewoosagur (MRU). This is one of the busiest international routes with multiple daily departures operated by 4 airlines.

As an international route, travellers need a valid passport and appropriate visa for the destination country. It's recommended to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before departure for international flights.

Compare fares across all airlines on FareEagle to find the best deal. Prices fluctuate based on demand, seasonality, and how far in advance you book. Generally, booking 2-4 weeks ahead for domestic flights and 6-8 weeks for international routes gives the best value.

The following airlines operate regular services between Mumbai and Mauritius. Each airline offers different fare classes, baggage allowances, and onboard services.

Full-service international carriers typically include meals, checked baggage (20-30 kg), and in-flight entertainment. Compare the total cost including baggage on FareEagle — sometimes a full-service fare with included baggage is cheaper than a low-cost fare plus add-ons.

Many Indians travel from Mumbai to Mauritius for vacations, honeymoons, and to experience the island's beautiful beaches and diverse culture. Mauritius offers a mix of Indian, African, and European influences, making it a unique and appealing destination.

Best time to fly

The best time to visit Mauritius is from May to December when the weather is cooler and drier. Avoid January and February, which are cyclone seasons. October and November are ideal, with warm temperatures and less humidity.

Getting from the airport to Mauritius

Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport (MRU) is well-connected to the city center. Taxis are readily available outside the airport, costing around 1500-2000 MUR for a ride to Port Louis. Public buses are a cheaper option, costing around 50 MUR, but they take longer.

Things to do in Mauritius

Visit the Black River Gorges National Park for hiking and scenic views. Explore the Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Garden, home to giant water lilies. Relax on the beaches of Grand Baie, known for its clear waters and nightlife. Take a catamaran cruise to Ile aux Cerfs for water sports and stunning scenery.

Food to try

Try the Dholl Puri, a type of flatbread filled with ground yellow split peas and spices. Sample the local seafood, often grilled or curried with Creole spices. Alouda, a milk-based drink with agar-agar jelly and flavors like vanilla or almond, is a popular refreshment.

Local tips

English and French are widely spoken, so communication is generally easy. The Mauritian Rupee (MUR) is the local currency; it's best to exchange currency at the airport or banks for better rates. Be sure to try street food, but only from reputable vendors.
