What to wear
Dress Code
Tropical elegance
Think light, breezy and celebratory — the kind of outfit that feels wonderful in warm sea air and looks lovely against the sand and sky. Flowing fabrics, soft colours, and comfortable shoes for a little dancing.

Good to know
May in Mauritius
May is one of the loveliest times on the island — the start of the cooler, drier season. Expect warm, comfortable days of around 25–28 °C, gentle humidity, and pleasant evenings. A light wrap is perfect once the sun goes down.
