All Inclusive Family Holidays to Mauritius

The best time for family holidays to Mauritius is between May and December, during the island's cooler, drier season, when sunny days and lower humidity make it ideal for beach time and outdoor activities. The warmer, more humid months from January to April can bring occasional cyclones, though holidays to Mauritius remain popular all year-round thanks to the island's consistently warm climate.

Mauritius is served by direct flights from the UK, typically taking around 11–12 hours, landing at Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport (MRU). Club Med's all inclusive holidays to Mauritius can include transfers directly to resort, making the journey seamless for families travelling with young children.

Beyond the resort, Mauritius offers plenty to fill a family itinerary, and both Club Med La Pointe aux Canonniers and Club Med La Plantation d'Albion make ideal bases for exploring the island's highlights, with excursions easily arranged through the resort's tour desk.
Snorkel or dive at Flic-en-Flac, an easy introduction for young swimmers, or head to Ile aux Cerfs, home to the island's largest lagoon, for a day of watersports and white sand beaches. A boat trip to spot dolphins off the west coast near Tamarin is another highlight, best enjoyed early in the morning before heading back to the resort for lunch.

Inland, the multicoloured dunes of Chamarel's Seven Coloured Earth make for a memorable day trip, especially paired with the nearby Chamarel waterfall. The Tamarin waterfalls offer a more adventurous option for older children, while the SSR Botanic Garden in Pamplemousse is a gentler outing for younger ones, with its giant water lilies and shaded paths.

Back at the resort, Club Med's Mini Club and Petit Club programmes mean parents can relax or enjoy the spa while children are entertained close by, striking a balance between adventure beyond the gates and easy fun within them.

These excursions make Family Holidays to Mauritius as much about discovery as relaxation.

For families, all inclusive holidays to Mauritius remove much of the planning and cost uncertainty that can come with travelling abroad. With meals, drinks, activities, and Kids' Clubs bundled into one price, parents can budget with confidence before departure — leaving more time to enjoy the island itself.
Club Med's all-inclusive model is built with exactly this in mind. A single upfront price covers meals, drinks, a full programme of activities, and the Mini Club and Petit Club for younger guests, so there's little to think about once you've landed.

For parents, the real value is in knowing childcare is already taken care of. Rather than weighing up whether to book the Kids' Club for the afternoon, it's simply part of the stay, making it easy to hand the children over for a few hours and enjoy some time together, or a quiet moment by the pool. That sense of everything being arranged in advance is what makes an all-inclusive stay feel effortless, letting families focus on the island itself rather than the logistics of the day.

Shaped by Indian, African, Chinese, and European influences, Mauritian cuisine is a highlight of any trip. Dishes like dholl puri, fried noodles, and fresh seafood curries sit alongside French-inspired pastries and grilled classics, reflecting the island's layered history in every meal.

Club Med resorts embrace this diversity with buffets and à la carte dining that introduce children to new flavours alongside familiar favourites, so even fussier eaters will find something to enjoy. Live cooking stations and themed dinners add a bit of theatre to the experience, making mealtimes feel like part of the adventure rather than a break from it — a small but memorable part of any holidays to Mauritius experience.
