January
January is high season for all of the islands, with warm temperatures, but rain and
even cyclones are possibilities, the latter primarily in Mauritius and Réunion. Hotel
prices soar over the Christmas and New Year period.
Chinese New Year
Chinese New Year in Mauritius and Réunion falls in late January or early February. On
New Year's Eve, homes are spring cleaned and decked in red, the colour of happiness, and
firecrackers are let off to protect against evil spirits.
