Internet in Mauritius: everything you need to know
Mauritius has one of the Indian Ocean's best networks: my.t (Mauritius Telecom), Emtel and CHILI (MTML) cover almost the entire island in 4G, and 5G is live in dense areas. Internet penetration exceeds 80% (source: ITU DataHub, 2024). EU roaming does not apply: without an eSIM, the bill climbs fast.
- ●Near-total 4G coverage: Port Louis, Grand Baie, Flic-en-Flac, Belle Mare, Le Morne and the interior (Curepipe, Chamarel) are all well served. Emtel and my.t 5G covers the main urban and tourist areas. Rodrigues has 4G with more modest speeds.
- ●Average mobile speed around 40–80 Mbps download (Ookla, 2025), among the best in Africa and the Indian Ocean.
- ●No blocked services: Google, WhatsApp, Instagram, YouTube, Netflix work normally. WhatsApp is everywhere, including for contacting hotels and taxis.
- ●Great for Google Maps, local taxi apps (Yugo), activity bookings (catamaran, Casela) and remote work: Mauritius offers a long-stay Premium visa for nomads.
