MAURITIUS budget for a week stay

Little ant knows well that the'Mauritius is for the ants bursting with tunes ...  But little ant decided to go there without a big fortune!

MAURITIUS BUDGET - Plane tickets

From Paris, you will find many companies that serve Mauritius. Of course, the earlier you book the cheaper the tickets!

I present below the most interesting companies (price level):

Air France : depending on the period, tickets to Paris cost a little less or a little more than 1 Euros.

Corsair : This Company often offers great promotions (ex. A Roundtrip at 835 €)

Air Mauritius : by booking well in advance, you can find flights at 800 Euros

Air Austral : With this Company, you can fly from Paris to Mauritius from 769 Euros! 

On the other hand, if you do it well in advance, on Expedia (which offers the cheapest flights according to your criteria of dates, airports ...), you will have no trouble finding the right flight. at the best price : Expedia UK

MAURITIUS BUDGET - Travel 

Taxi trips

If you want to visit the island by taxi, it will cost between 50 and 75 Euros for the day trip for 2 people.

Travel with car rental 

Renting a car for 7 days will cost you between 300 and 500 Euros. It is a comfortable means of transport, without time constraints, and cheaper than the taxi. Especially since you don't have to rent 7 days… 4 to 5 days of excursions can be enough for a week of vacation.

However, be careful of driving on the left, anarchic traffic and traffic jams around Port Louis ...

A cautious little ant will know not to be overconfident ...

BUS trips 

Public transport is fairly well developed throughout the island and will allow you to get around easily. Widely used by Mauritians, it is a good way to meet the local population and it is above all the most economical way to get around Mauritius. Here is the link that will allow you to find the right bus whatever your destination:  https://www.mauritius-buses.com/

MAURITIUS BUDGET - Meals

If you move away from very touristy places, you will find very nice little restaurants at prices well below those of "tourist" establishments. The food is indeed very inexpensive. A full meal at noon with starter, main course and dessert will cost you around € 15.

For little ant, we can always enjoy without spending too much!

I cannot estimate the maximum catering budget, but in the upper range, with my experience there, I would say that the average for this type of meal is between 40 and 50 Euros.

MAURITIUS BUDGET - Hotels

To estimate the average budget for high-end accommodation, I'll keep it simple and take the example of my one-week stay (December 2016). The all-inclusive stay at the hotel 5 * Lux Morne (too good !!!) had cost us: 1 Euros (all included for 561 people). 

If little ant is easy, little ant can afford luxury and beauty!

MAURITIUS BUDGET - Cheap accommodation 

For very small wallets, you will have to aim for the AIRBNB apartments or the apartments on booking… But you can also stay with the locals.

If little ant is broke, little ant will strive for simplicity!

For 20 Euros per night (for 2 people), here is a cheapest accommodation that you can find: https://www.booking.com/hotel/mu/asd-residence.fr

MAURITIUS BUDGET - Summary 

Estimate per person for 7 days Lowest budget * High budget
Return flight ticket, Paris-Mauritius 770 € 1200 €
Car rental for 7 days with gasoline 200 € 300 €
Hosting 70 € 780 €
Meals 280 € 200 € (in addition to the all-inclusive)
Total budget per person 1 320 € 2480 €

* There is still a way to reduce the amount of this budget by traveling by scooter or bus ...
