The Ultimate Packing List for Your Mauritius Vacation - for a holiday in paradise!

Maurituius boasts a warm subtropical climate receiving occasional rains and frequently sunny days. However, the weather here remains mostly humid hence, it is recommended that you bring light clothing that is loose-fitting and comfortable. Also since you will be around beaches, bring an adequate amount of swimwear.

Summertime which falls usually between November and April could make the climate here hot and humid. And the sun during its zenith could be a bit unforgiving. Hence it is recommended that you wear sunscreen that has at least SPF 30 when sunbathing.

For the same reason as mentioned above, a wide-brimmed hat and Polaroid sunglasses that have a significant amount of tint might come to aid in keeping cool. 

All though accommodation options the likes of The Residence Mauritius along with many others feature safe rooms equipped with lockers. It is always better to keep your valuables with you just in case. So when you are out and about on a Mauritius island sightseeing adventure, having your passport, Identification documents, cash and cards with you stored in a fanny pack or a sling bag gives you an extra bit of relief.

Even though you wouldn’t experience any significant discomfort due to insects in Mauritius The tropical climate makes insects thrive. Hence, having an insect-repellent spray or a cream will always come in handy. You could also get a mosquito repellent vaporiser to chase away those pesky little troublemakers so you could get a good night's sleep.

Yes, you’ll have your smartphone but swaying along in a hammock reading a physical book during your vacation hits different! The sense of relaxation the experience will bring could not be described but should be felt. So bring along a book or two just to fully disconnect from all the tech around you and reconnect your mind with your soul. 

Though it would be always better to have a compact digital camera, a mid-range smartphone with a camera that could take decent pictures is more than enough to document the memories you make along with capturing some awesome-looking scenery.

Selfie sticks have now become a thing of the past and gimbals have become a must-have for travellers. If you are willing to up your photo and videography game by a notch, investing in a gimbal before you take off will certainly turn out to be useful. Furthermore, a gimbal would also help you take steady videos and photos where you don't have to focus too much on positioning the camera - the gimbal will do it for you.
