Hotels in Mayotte

Discover Mayotte

If you want to enjoy the best climate in Mayotte, we recommend the dry season which runs from May to October. During these months, you can expect pleasant temperatures ranging from 24 to 29°C. It's the perfect time for water activities such as snorkeling and diving, as the water visibility is excellent. However, keep in mind that hotel and flight prices tend to be higher during this time, so booking several months in advance could help you save.

If you don't mind a bit of rain and prefer to avoid crowds, consider traveling during the low season, between November and April. During this period, prices tend to be lower and there is greater availability in accommodation. Although Mayotte is not known for large-scale festivals, throughout the year you can experience a rich combination of French and Comorian cultures, which adds a special touch to your visit.

If you are looking for the best time to book a trip to Mayotte, it is recommended to do so at least three months in advance. This will guarantee you more options and cheaper prices, especially during the high season between May and October. During these months, the demand for hotels near the beaches and nature reserves increases considerably.

A specific tip for Mayotte is to stay in less crowded areas of the island, but close to the main tourist attractions. This will not only allow you to save on accommodation, but also offer you a more authentic experience. Remember that flights are usually cheaper if you avoid traveling on weekends, so it is preferable to choose a weekday.

Mayotte, a jewel in the Indian Ocean, offers you much more than paradisiacal beaches. While it is true that the beaches, especially in Mamoudzou, are irresistible, there are other wonders waiting to be discovered. For example, the Dziani lake is a saline crater lagoon where shades of green and blue seem to compete with each other. You can hike around and enjoy breathtaking panoramic views.

For diving enthusiasts, the coral reef surrounding the island is unbeatable. It is one of the largest coral reefs in the world, home to astonishing biodiversity. In addition to colorful fish and corals, you will have the opportunity to see sharks and turtles in their natural habitat.

If you prefer something more relaxed, don't miss the Coconi market. Here you will find all kinds of local products, from fruits and spices to handmade crafts. And when it comes to gastronomy, you must try the 'mataba', a local dish made from cassava leaves and grated coconut that will immerse you directly in the culture and flavors of Mayotte.

Finally, you cannot miss a boat trip to observe whales and dolphins. Tours mainly operate between July and October, when these majestic animals visit the waters of Mayotte.
