Mauritius in July
There are plenty of good reasons to spend your next July holiday in Mauritius. Sun, lagoons, mountains and palm trees – a slow, peaceful getaway awaits you.
On the spot
Whether you're a weekend warrior or a seasoned runner, take advantage of the July sporting events in Mauritius. On Sunday 7 July 2024, the KFC Mauritius Marathon takes place in Saint-Félix. Several races of different levels are organised (5km, 10km, 21km or 42km), so everyone can challenge themselves.
Trail runners will not be left out in July. On Sunday 28 July 2024, the Raidlight Ultra-Trail will take place in Blue Bay in the south of the island. There are several possible routes (10km, 25km and 65km for the more adventurous). On your marks, get set, run!
On a more artistic note, the Imaaya Art Gallery in Vacoas-Phoenix organises art exhibitions throughout the year. Come and discover unique paintings by local artists (and if you fall for one of them, you can buy it and take it home with you). A painting made in Mauritius, now that's a travel souvenir!

Tourist numbers in Mauritius in July
When you travel, do you like to avoid the busy tourist season? In Mauritius, July is low season despite the school holidays.
To travel to Mauritius at this time of year, you should budget between €1000 and €1300 for a return flight per person (departing from Paris, Brussels or Geneva).
Of course, flight prices may vary depending on the day of your flight, the airline you choose and the number of stopovers you select.
In July, as in the rest of the year, there's no shortage of fruit and vegetables on the island:
Jackfruit (also called jackfruit or jack apple, a fruit native to Southeast Asia, it is known for its strong smell)
Butternut squash
Watercress (a leafy vegetable with a slightly peppery, pungent taste)
Avocados
Chinese guavas
Passionfruit, bananas, giraumon (squash) or Victoria pineapple (available all year round)
If you opt for bananas, try a recipe for banana tart, a dessert that Mauritians love!
Another idea: a good watercress and avocado salad for a healthy, light meal.
To find fresh, local, seasonal produce, head for the markets, the most famous of which are:
The big market in Port Louis
Goodlands market in the north
Flacq market in the east
Things to do
July lends itself perfectly to outdoor activities. There's a wide range of activities on offer, from watersports (kayaking, surfing, kitesurfing, paddle boarding) to land-based activities (quad biking, hiking, trail running, electric bike rides).
On a more artistic (and less physical) note, how about a local play or musical at the Caudan Arts Centre in Port Louis? Or attend an artistic or musical event at the Institut Français de Maurice!
