| Biggest risk | Helicopter is weather-dependent — driver backup is 2h45m on the A6 | Passalacqua opens ~March 20-25 — verify direct before Mar 28 check-in | Atlantic sea 16-17°C — pool only (Vila Vita, Bela Vista, Tivoli all heated to 28°C) | Aman Sveti Stefan reopens late April · verify exact 2026 opening date | Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc opens Apr 20 · trip must start late if you want Eden-Roc | Vueling VY2213 GRX→PMI is the single direct · backup is 4h MAD routing | Skinopi Lodge CLOSED for entire window — irreplaceable identity gone | April is the monsoon transition — mostly dry and clear early in the month, but humidity climbs and brief afternoon showers and the occasional squall become more likely toward late April; an outdoor sandbank dinner can be moved or rescheduled by weather. | April is the transition into dry season, not deep dry season — early-April brief afternoon showers are still possible, especially in jungle-cooled Ubud. Skies clear markedly through the month; pack a light rain layer for the first few days. | Seaweed/sargassum season: the calm northwest-monsoon months (to ~April) can pile seaweed on Praslin's Côte d'Or beaches; Anse Lazio, the southwest Mahé coves and La Digue's west are far less affected — plan beach days accordingly. | April is the shoulder edge on the south/west coast — the Yala monsoon hasn't arrived but late-April brings increasingly unsettled afternoons and rougher seas around Galle/Weligama. Early-April dates (as planned) are noticeably safer than late April. | April is the tail end of Mauritius' wet/cyclone season — humidity is high and brief heavy showers (and a small residual cyclone risk) are possible into mid-April; build in flexible, indoor-friendly fallback days and consider travel insurance. | April sits in the long-rains season (masika). Expect short, heavy afternoon downpours and higher humidity — mornings are usually clear, so front-load beach and snorkel activities to early in the day. |
