Hotels in Pamplemousses, Mauritius
Pamplemousses is a district in northern Mauritius with a tropical climate averaging 77°F (25°C) year-round, famous for the Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Garden's giant water lilies and 85 species of palm trees. In the drier winter from May to October, you can explore the garden's spice trees and lotus ponds without rain, while the summer rainy season from November to April brings the lilies into full bloom-perfect for photos. Pair your visit with the nearby Sugar Adventure museum, where you learn how cane became the island's lifeblood, or stop by the Wednesday market for fresh local spices.
