Do you need a travel adapter for Mauritius?

Yes, in virtually all cases.

Mauritius uses two plug types interchangeably:

• Type C: two round pins, the same type as in the Netherlands. Your Dutch plug fits directly into this.
• Type G: three rectangular pins in a triangular arrangement, the same type as in the United Kingdom. No Dutch plug fits into this without an adapter.

Due to the British colonial history, type G is the most common socket type in Mauritius. In luxury resorts and modern hotels you often also come across type C sockets, sometimes even mixed in the same room. You cannot rely on that mix, so an adapter that supports both types is the safest choice.

A travel adapter for Mauritius is necessary when you:

• bring Dutch chargers or electrical appliances
• stay in resorts, hotels, guesthouses or holiday villas
• make a tour around the island
• want to avoid being without power on location

Which type of socket does Mauritius have?

Mauritius uses two plug types:

• Type C: two round pins, unearthed. The same type as in the Netherlands and the rest of continental Europe
• Type G: three rectangular pins in a triangular arrangement. The same type as in the United Kingdom, Singapore, Malaysia and the Seychelles

Type G is dominant across the whole island. Many hotels and resorts have deliberately also installed type C sockets for European guests, but that is no guarantee. In Port Louis, Grand Baie, Flic en Flac or remote accommodations in the south, you can come across both types.

There are no further regional differences in Mauritius. The type of socket mainly depends on the age and target group of the accommodation.

Which travel adapter for Mauritius is best?

Due to the mix of plug types, a universal adapter with type G support is the smartest choice.

For a one-off trip to Mauritius you can choose a specific type G adapter. But as soon as you stay in a resort with type C sockets, that adapter is redundant. A universal adapter covers both types.

Power and voltage in Mauritius

The power supply in Mauritius is the same as in the Netherlands.

• Voltage: 230 volts
• Frequency: 50 Hz
• Compatible with Dutch appliances: yes

So you do not need a voltage converter. A travel adapter for Mauritius is sufficient. Your phone, laptop, camera and other devices work without problems.

When is a travel adapter for Mauritius essential?

An adapter is essential in Mauritius when using:

• phone and laptop chargers
• camera and GoPro chargers
• electric toothbrushes
• power banks and portable batteries
• hairdryers and straighteners
• portable monitors for remote work

Especially if you combine your holiday with snorkelling, diving or beach holidays, a reliable travel adapter is handy to keep all your equipment and GoPros, drones and underwater cameras charged at all times. A universal adapter with multiple USB ports saves you switching between different sockets.
