Sockets in Mauritius
The plug types you’ll find in Mauritius are Type C and G plugs and sockets.
Type C
Type C sockets have two round pins and no grounding. Unlike Type G, they take a slimmer plug without an earth pin or fuse.
Type G
Type G sockets have three rectangular pins arranged in a triangular pattern, with a built-in fuse for safety. They are the standard used in the United Kingdom.
Recommended Travel Adaptor for Mauritius
We’ve tested this adaptor while travelling and compared them across price, durability, safety and performance, so you can be confident in our choice.
Left your adaptor at home? Airports and local shops tend to have them. But having your own is safer, cheaper, and far less stressful.
Mauritius is often paired with other Indian Ocean destinations like Réunion and Madagascar. Worth checking the plug info — island setups aren’t always the same.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
In Mauritius there’s no call for a converter, as the voltage is near enough to the UK standard.
Make sure to look at the voltage label before travelling. Devices marked ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’ will operate abroad without any converter.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
Travelling can be unpredictable, but these little items give you peace of mind. A luggage scale means no nasty shocks at the airport desk, a power bank saves you when plugs are nowhere to be found, and packing cubes stop your things from getting muddled. We’ve used them on plenty of trips and can vouch for them.
