Flights to Mauritius
MRU · Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport
Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International sits on Mauritius's southeast coast at Plaine Magnien, 50km from the capital Port Louis but walking distance from the Blue Bay and Le Morne beach strips. Air Mauritius and South African Airways run daily direct flights from Johannesburg and Cape Town, with fares that drop sharply outside December and June school holidays. It is overwhelmingly a leisure destination for South Africans, with the added pull of visa-free entry, English and French being widely spoken, and a 4-hour flight time.
