This resort is so very much like a Maldives Island with the advantage of being to explore all that Mauritius has to offer.
Location
Set on a private peninsula in Mahébourg, on Mauritius’ southeastern coast, Preskil Island Resort feels wonderfully tucked away. You’ll enjoy sweeping views of the turquoise lagoon with Lion Mountain as a dramatic backdrop, while the town and airport are just 15 minutes away. We love how it combines tranquillity with easy access to local life.
Rooms
The resort has 214 rooms and suites, from cosy Superior Rooms to spacious Junior Suites and family-friendly options. Each space is bright and airy, with balconies or terraces overlooking the gardens or lagoon. Guests love the thoughtful touches like tea and coffee facilities, modern décor, and light-filled interiors that bring the tropical surroundings indoors.
Amenities
You’ll find three restaurants serving local and international cuisine, two bars, a main pool and a children’s pool, and a full-service spa. There’s also a fitness centre, yoga classes, and a kids’ club. We love how the resort balances relaxation and activity, making it a great choice for both families and couples.
Activities
Snorkelling, kayaking, paddleboarding, cultural excursions, and cooking classes are all on offer. You can explore the nearby town or simply unwind on the beach. Guests love how much there is to do without ever feeling rushed.
Sustainability
Preskil Island Resort is committed to eco-friendly practices, supporting local artisans, running energy-saving initiatives, and encouraging guests to take part in environmental awareness activities.

January
January is prone to cyclones and rain, so if you're looking for a beach holiday this is not a reliable time to travel.
February
February is the most active period during the cyclone season in Mauritius, so we would avoid travelling at this time
March
In March the weather is hot and humid, with sporadic rainfall as the end of the cyclone season comes to a close. It is a popular time for travellers as the temperatures aren't too high.
April
If you're wanting to travel in April expect hot weather with temperatures rising to 30 degrees with increasing humidity levels.
May
May is one of the best and most popular month to travel to Mauritius, with temperatures hovering over the 25 degrees mark, with easing humidity making for a comfortable climate.
June
During June the temperatures cool to 24 degrees due to the trade winds on the east and south coast of Mauritius, offering warm and sunny days.
July
The temperatures cool again in July, as the trade winds pick up making some of the more open beaches less sheltered and breezy. It is a popular time to travel due to the summer holidays starting in the Northern Hemisphere.
August
Much like July, August experiences increased winds with warm days perfect for watersports and the islands more sheltered beaches. During the evenings temperatures become cooler and you may appreciate a few more layers.
September
In September the trade winds die down and temperatures rise once again, making it the perfect time for snorkelling as diving as the water clarity increases thanks to the calm weather conditions.
October
October is the islands driest month with temperatures exceeding 25 degrees. If you love nature Mauritius is overflowing with exotic flowers and wildlife as everything comes into bloom, making it the best time for mountain hikes and trips to the country's national parks.
November
In November temperatures start to rise again, as does the humidity as the country progresses into its cyclone season. The weather can be unpredictable with small rain showers, meaning it is still a good time to travel to Mauritius.
December
As the festive season looms, December is one of the busiest months for visitors in Mauritius. As humidity builds up, heavy rain showers occur helping lowering the humidity and clearing the heavy skies.
