Airport Transportation in Mauritius

Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.

After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.

Our airport transportation in Mauritius takes you from the airport at Plaine Magnien to resorts and villas around the whole island: Grand Baie and the north coast, Belle Mare and Trou d'Eau Douce in the east, Flic en Flac and Tamarin in the west, Le Morne in the southwest, Port Louis and nearby Mahébourg and Blue Bay.

Mauritius Airport Transfers

Mauritius airport transfers start in the Tour Operators and Hotels Hall on Level 0, where your driver waits with a name sign as you come out of customs. We track your flight, so the pickup follows your real landing time, and the price is fixed per vehicle and agreed before you fly. Choose a sedan for two or a van for a family or group with luggage.

Each Mauritius airport transfer goes door to door to your hotel, villa or apartment anywhere on the island, from Grand Baie and Pereybère in the north to Belle Mare, Flic en Flac and Le Morne. Enter your address in the booking form to see the vehicles for your party before you pay.

Mauritius Airport Shuttle

Our Mauritius airport shuttle is a private van for your party only, not a hotel coach that stops at several resorts on the way. It leaves as soon as you have your bags, with room for suitcases, strollers and golf bags, and suits families, groups and wedding parties heading to the coast.

Landing at Mauritius Airport

Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport (MRU), also called Mauritius Airport or SSR, is at Plaine Magnien in the southeast of the island, near Mahébourg. All flights use one passenger terminal, opened in 2013.

You go through immigration and health formalities in the hall on Level 2, then collect your bags on Level 0; strollers and oversized items come out next to belt 1. After customs you walk into the Tour Operators and Hotels Hall, where the exchange counters, the tourist desk and the taxi counter are, and where pre-booked drivers meet passengers.

Mauritius is on Mauritius Time (UTC+4) all year, with no daylight saving time, and uses the Mauritian rupee.

Entry requirements and local notes

Entry rules. Many nationalities, including British visitors, enter Mauritius visa-free for short stays; others need a visa in advance or on arrival. Your passport must be valid for your whole stay, and immigration may ask for a return or onward ticket.

All in One Travel Form. Fill in the Mauritius All in One Travel Form on the official Safe Mauritius website before you fly and keep the QR code to show on arrival. Use only the government site, as look-alike sites exist.

Health checks. Travelers arriving from countries where malaria is common may be asked for a blood sample at the airport.

Rupees and driving on the left. Mauritius uses the rupee, so change some money in the arrivals hall for tips and small purchases. Traffic drives on the left.

Mauritius Airport Transportation FAQs

Where will my driver meet me at Mauritius Airport?

In the Tour Operators and Hotels Hall on Level 0, holding a sign with your name, as you come out of customs.

How far is Mauritius Airport from Grand Baie and the main beach areas?

The airport is in the southeast of the island, about 48 km (30 miles) from Port Louis. The drive to Grand Baie in the north usually takes about an hour and a quarter, to Flic en Flac or Le Morne in the west about an hour, and to Belle Mare in the east under an hour. Mahébourg and Blue Bay are a few minutes away.

Can you take me to Grand Baie or Pereybère?

Yes. We drive to hotels, villas and apartments in Grand Baie, Pereybère, Trou aux Biches, Mont Choisy and the rest of the north coast.

Can you take me to Flic en Flac or Le Morne?

Yes. We drive to resorts and villas in Flic en Flac, Wolmar, Tamarin and on the Le Morne peninsula on the west and southwest coasts.

Can you take me to Belle Mare or Trou d'Eau Douce?

Yes. We drive to the resorts along Belle Mare, Palmar and Poste de Flacq and to Trou d'Eau Douce on the east coast.

Can you take me to Île aux Cerfs?

Île aux Cerfs is a small island reached by boat. We drive you to your hotel or to the boat jetty on the east coast, such as Trou d'Eau Douce, and the crossing is arranged separately.

How many terminals does Mauritius Airport have?

One. All international flights and the domestic flights to Rodrigues use the same passenger terminal, and every arriving passenger comes out into the same Tour Operators and Hotels Hall.

Do you drive to villas and vacation rentals in Mauritius?

Yes. Give the full address, the villa or residence name and any gate or access details. Some private estates have a security gate, so tell us the name the guard will expect.

Is there transportation for late-night or early-morning flights?

Yes. Book with your flight number and your driver is scheduled for your actual landing time, including late arrivals. For an early departure, give your flight time and we set the pickup from your hotel accordingly.

Should I buy transportation from people offering rides inside Mauritius Airport?

There is no need. Booking ahead gives you a confirmed vehicle and a meeting point before you land. If someone approaches you in the arrivals hall, check the company name against your confirmation before getting in.

What happens if my flight is delayed or canceled?

We monitor the flight on your reservation, so your driver waits for the actual landing. If your flight number, date or airline changes, or your flight is canceled, tell customer service so the pickup can be moved.

Can I book a ride back to Mauritius Airport?

Yes. Book a one-way departure or a round trip from your hotel or villa, and give your flight number and departure time, so the pickup leaves time for check-in and security.

Do I need to fill in a form before landing in Mauritius?

Yes. Complete the Mauritius All in One Travel Form on the official Safe Mauritius website before you fly and keep its QR code. Without it, you fill in a disembarkation card at the airport, which takes longer.

Is Airport Transportation the same as Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport?

No. Airport Transportation is a private transfer service that books rides from MRU; we are not the airport or its operator. For the terminal, airlines and other ways to get around, see our Mauritius Airport page.
