## Official travel advisory

**Level 2 — Exercise Increased Caution.** The U.S. State Department places Mauritius at Level 2 — Exercise Increased Caution citing crime. Our live index reads 94.2/100. That advisory was last revised Dec 8, 2025, 267 days ago; the index above is recomputed continuously from current reporting.

Most offenses affecting foreign visitors in Mauritius are opportunistic: pickpocketing, snatched handbags, and petty theft, concentrated in crowded open-air shopping areas, on beaches, at other tourist sites, and around cash machines. Graver crimes also occur, among them break-ins, serious assaults, murder, and rape. Women travelling alone have faced verbal harassment and other offenses directed at them. Exposure rises after dark on foot or by road, near visible wealth such as costly watches and jewellery, at unverified hotel or residence doors, and during bank transactions.
