This site is first and foremost about Reunion Island, “the intense island”, where budget stays take the form of Mafate gîtes and Saint-Denis hostels (see my Reunion Island accommodation pages). Mauritius plays a different card with its 3-star hotels in the north (Grand Baie, Pointe aux Canonniers, Pereybere), from €65 a night for two, breakfast often included. Here are 6 hotels selected from verified Booking reviews.

Good news for the budget-conscious traveller: Mauritius is noticeably more accessible than the Indian Ocean's other islands on the budget hotel segment. The north of the island (Grand Baie, Pointe aux Canonniers, Pereybere) is home to around thirty affordable 3-star hotels, with a pool, breakfast included and quality public beaches 5-15 minutes away on foot. The west coast adds Flic en Flac, and the north-west coast adds Pointe aux Piments.

I've selected 6 hotels via Booking, from €65/night for two (Résidence Peramal in Grand Baie). Maison du Nord in Pointe aux Canonniers tops the line-up with a Booking rating of 9.5/10 (one of the best value-for-money picks across every category). 2026 rates verified as of the update date below.

Choosing your cheap hotel

Which area for which stay

For the best value for money in the line-up, Maison du Nord in Pointe aux Canonniers (€70/night, 9.5/10 Booking) remains the unrivalled reference. A heated pool, a free shuttle to Mont Choisy beach, breakfast included, staff rated 9.9/10. It's the one to pick for a first stay in Mauritius on a tight budget.

To stay at the heart of the buzz, Résidence Peramal in Grand Baie (from €65/night) puts travellers 5 minutes on foot from the restaurants, shops and bars of one of Mauritius's liveliest seaside resorts. Its studios come with a kitchen, ideal if you want to self-cater.

For cheap beachfront living, Villas Mon Plaisir in Pointe aux Piments (€85/night) or Toparadis in Pereybere (€90/night, 8.5/10 Booking, the beach 30m away) fit the brief. Toparadis also throws in a heated pool and an on-site restaurant.

For the west coast and flagship activities, L'Oiseau de l'Océan in Flic en Flac puts travellers right by the Tamarin dolphin trips, kitesurfing at Le Morne and the helicopter flight over the underwater waterfall. The west coast runs pricier than the north on average, but this hotel is the exception.

To keep the budget in check, there's no need to rent a car for the whole stay if you're based in the north: Toparadis is 30 metres from Pereybere beach, Maison du Nord runs its free shuttle to Mont Choisy, and its Booking listing puts Pointe aux Canonniers beach an 11-minute walk away. A car earns its keep on the days you head west and south-west for the activities above. For those outings, compare car hire quotes and pay only for the days you actually drive.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions about accommodation in Mauritius

What's the price of a cheap hotel in Mauritius in 2026?

The entry rate on Booking starts at €65/night for 2 people at Résidence Peramal in Grand Baie (fully equipped studios in the heart of the northern tourist hub), €70/night for Maison du Nord in Pointe aux Canonniers (a 9.5/10 Booking rating, one of the best-rated 3-star hotels in the line-up). and €85 to €90 for the other hotels in the selection (Toparadis Pereybere, Villas Mon Plaisir in Pointe aux Piments). For a comparable budget, Mauritius is more accessible than Reunion Island on the 3-star segment.

Where can you find cheap accommodation in Mauritius?

Most budget hotels are concentrated in the north of the island, around Grand Baie: Résidence Peramal (Grand Baie), Maison du Nord and La Pointe Villas (Pointe aux Canonniers), Toparadis (Pereybere). The north-west adds Villas Mon Plaisir (Pointe aux Piments). The west coast is represented by L'Oiseau de l'Océan (Flic en Flac). There's nothing in this selection on the east coast (Belle Mare) or in the south-east (Blue Bay), which are pricier on average.

What's the best cheap hotel in Mauritius?

Maison du Nord in Pointe aux Canonniers tops the line-up with 9.5/10 on Booking (staff at 9.9/10, cleanliness 9.5, value for money 9.6). It has 24 rooms, a heated pool, a free shuttle to Mont Choisy beach and breakfast included, from €70/night. It's one of the best value-for-money picks across the entire Mauritius hotel line-up, all categories combined.

Can you travel to Mauritius on a tight budget?

Yes. With €65-90/night at a cheap 3-star hotel plus €20-50/day on activities (see my Mauritius activity pages: kitesurfing €87, hiking €34, snorkelling €24, diving €50, quad biking €90), a week-long stay as a couple comes to around €1,000-1,500 per person excluding flights. That's noticeably cheaper than an equivalent stay in Reunion Island or the Maldives, while keeping the essentials (the lagoon, activities, sunshine).

What precautions should you take when booking a cheap hotel in Mauritius?

Check Booking ratings and give weight to the number of reviews (a hotel at 9.5/10 from 200 reviews is more reliable than one at 10/10 from 3 reviews). Check the distance to the beach for hotels billed as "beachfront" (some cheap hotels in the north require a 10-15 minute walk). Confirm whether breakfast is included or not (often an extra €8-15 on budget listings). Plan your transport (a rental car is useful in Mauritius to reach activity spots).

Cheap hotels in Mauritius or Reunion Island: which to choose?

Mauritius offers 3-star hotels from €65 a night for two, concentrated in the north (Grand Baie, Pointe aux Canonniers, Pereybere), breakfast often included, a beach shuttle sometimes provided. Reunion Island has less cheap accommodation, mostly mountain gîtes and youth hostels in Saint-Denis (see my Reunion Island cheap hotels guide), but with a rawer natural setting. For a beach stay on a tight budget, Mauritius is noticeably more accessible.
