Mauritius is best known for its beach resorts, lagoons, and coral reefs — a long-standing honeymoon and holiday destination in the Indian Ocean — but it's also a genuine financial and business hub, drawing a steady stream of corporate travellers alongside the beach crowd. Both kinds of trip benefit from a travel eSIM: resort Wi-Fi can be patchy or shared across hundreds of guests, and a business traveller juggling video calls needs something more reliable than hotel internet. Roaming on a home SIM is expensive here, and hunting down a local SIM on a short resort holiday eats into time you'd rather spend on the beach. 105 providers we track currently sell active data plans covering Mauritius. Here's what they cost.
Most visitors arrive on direct flights from Europe, South Africa, or India, and Mauritius's isolation as an island nation means there's no cheap fallback of crossing a land border to a country with better roaming rates — whatever plan you land with is what you're working with for the trip, which makes getting the choice right upfront more valuable than it would be somewhere you could easily switch mid-trip.

Provider-by-provider breakdown
Airhub is the strongest fixed-data option for Mauritius across almost every trip length: 1GB over 7 days costs $7.99, 3GB over 7 days is $9.50, and its 30-day tiers scale from 4GB at $15.00 up to 20GB at $30.00. A genuinely good match for a resort holiday where you know roughly how long you're staying. Real discount code active:
abesteSIM is the cheapest way in for a short stay — a single unlimited day costs $0.51, two unlimited days come to $3.43, and a 1GB/7-day fixed plan is $4.01. Real discount code active:
ASimGo takes a daily-unlimited approach across longer stretches than most: one day costs $1.03, climbing to $5.10 for three days and $8.19 for five — a straightforward option for a week-long holiday if you'd rather not think about a data cap. Real discount code active:
Exclusive code proposed directly by ASimGo via their partnership terms, 2026-09-04. 10% off the entire order, no minimum purchase, one use per customer.
Telekonek prices noticeably higher than the others on this list — a 1GB plan runs $26.00 whether you buy 1 day or 5, and $27.00 for 15 days. It's worth including for comparison, but it's rarely the cheapest choice for Mauritius specifically. Real discount code active:
Stellar eSIM is a solid middle option: a 1-day unlimited plan costs $1.99, and a 1GB/7-day fixed plan is $4.35 — useful if Airhub's tiers don't quite match your trip length.
Airalo is the most widely recognised eSIM brand, and its Mauritius plans are simple: 1GB over 3 days for $6.00, 3GB over 7 days for $13.00, and 5GB over 15 days for $19.00. It costs more than the options above, but it's a reliable, familiar pick if you already have the app and an account.
Why prices vary this much
Mauritius's mobile networks — including Mauritius Telecom's my.t and Emtel — cover the island thoroughly, and travel eSIM providers roam onto one or both under wholesale agreements. As a relatively small island market a long way from major data hubs, wholesale roaming costs here run higher than in, say, mainland Europe, which is part of why even the cheapest Mauritius plans cost more than the same providers charge for larger, more connected markets.
The plan structure explains the rest of the spread. Daily unlimited pricing (abesteSIM, ASimGo, Stellar eSIM) is cheap for a couple of days and climbs quickly beyond that; fixed-data plans with 30-day validity (Airhub) are the better per-day deal for a longer resort stay. And "unlimited" plans typically carry a fair-usage cap — a full-speed daily allowance followed by a slower fallback speed — worth checking if you plan to stream or video call heavily from your resort room.
Telekonek's pricing shows how much the underlying business model matters too: it charges close to a flat rate whether you buy 1 day or 15, which suggests it isn't pricing Mauritius competitively against dedicated resellers like abesteSIM or ASimGo, and is worth including here mainly as a reference point rather than a genuine recommendation.
Picking based on your trip
- A one-week beach holiday: Airhub's 1GB or 3GB/7-day plan comfortably covers maps, messaging, and social media without overpaying for data you won't use lounging by the pool.
- A honeymoon or two-week stay: ASimGo's unlimited 5-day-plus pricing, or Airhub's larger 30-day tier bought early, both avoid the need to top up mid-trip.
- A short business trip: abesteSIM's or Stellar eSIM's 1-day unlimited plans handle email and video calls without committing to a week you won't use.
- A longer stay or a repeat visitor: Airhub's bigger 30-day plans (12–20GB) work out cheapest per gigabyte if you'll be streaming or working remotely for an extended period.
- Island-hopping to Rodrigues or a day trip out on the water: buy a little extra data margin, since a boat crossing or a more remote beach can mean a weaker signal than you'd get at a west-coast resort.
A few things worth knowing before you buy
Coverage is strong across the island, including most resort areas on the west and east coasts, though it can weaken in a few more remote inland spots. Confirm your phone is unlocked and eSIM-compatible before buying — most iPhones from the XS onward and recent Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel models qualify.
Install your eSIM at home over Wi-Fi and activate it once you land — most providers support this, and it saves fumbling with setup after a long flight. Almost every plan here is data-only with no Mauritian phone number, so keep your home SIM active (with data roaming switched off) for any SMS verification codes you might need during your stay.
If you're travelling as a couple or a family, check whether your plan allows hotspot/tethering before assuming you can share one eSIM across multiple devices — not every provider permits it, and where it's allowed, a single larger plan is usually cheaper than buying one each. Many resorts also offer in-room Wi-Fi included in the rate, so a smaller eSIM data allowance can go further than it would on a trip where you're relying on mobile data all day.
