The most common routings pair an IXM feeder with Air Mauritius from Chennai, Bengaluru or Mumbai, the national carrier's key India gateways. IndiGo and Air India also serve MRU from major Indian cities, while SriLankan via Colombo is a southern alternative. The cleanest option is usually Madurai–Chennai followed by a direct MRU flight. One-ticket bookings keep your baggage rules consistent across both legs.

Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport (MRU) sits in the south-east of the island, about 48 km from the capital Port Louis. Most visitors are headed to beach resorts in the north (Grand Baie), west (Flic en Flac) or east coast, reached by pre-booked transfers or taxis in 45–90 minutes. There is no metro to the airport, so arranging a hotel transfer in advance is wise. The compact size of Mauritius means even the farthest resorts are within a couple of hours' drive.
Checked baggage on Air Mauritius and Indian carriers to MRU is typically 1–2 bags totalling 20–30 kg in economy; full-service fares are usually more generous than IndiGo's, so check before booking.
Round-trip economy typically ranges ₹40,000–₹75,000 depending on season and airline, making Mauritius an attractive beach holiday from Tamil Nadu. The cheapest windows are usually February–March and May–June, away from the October–January peak and the popular Indian summer-holiday rush. Booking 6–10 weeks ahead and pairing flights with a hotel package can cut costs further.
Mauritius enjoys a tropical climate year-round. The cooler, drier months from May to November are ideal for beaches and sightseeing, while December to April is hotter and more humid with a cyclone risk in the wettest months. For the best balance of weather and value, target May–June or September–October. Indian peak demand spikes around Diwali, the December holidays and the summer break, pushing fares up. With only a 1.5-hour time difference, there is virtually no jet lag.
Mauritius is a top honeymoon and family destination for Indians, prized for its white-sand beaches, turquoise lagoons and luxury-yet-affordable resorts. A large share of the island's population is of Indian origin, including a strong Tamil community, so temples, Indian food and familiar festivals abound — making it feel welcoming to Tamil Nadu visitors. Activities range from snorkelling and catamaran cruises to the Black River Gorges and Chamarel's seven-coloured earths. Visa-free entry and direct south-India flights seal its popularity.
Indian passport holders enjoy easy access to Mauritius: tourists receive a free visa-on-arrival, typically allowing stays of up to 90 days, with no advance application needed for leisure trips. At immigration you must show a confirmed return ticket, proof of accommodation and sufficient funds. Passports should be valid for at least 6 months. This visa-free convenience is a big reason Mauritius is so popular with Indian holidaymakers. See our visa guide for current entry requirements before you travel.
