Power plugs, sockets and travel adapter in Mauritius

The local supply in Mauritius is 230 V / 50 Hz. Most modern chargers for phones, laptops, cameras are dual voltage and work worldwide as long as the plug fits the socket.

OKAY Phone, tablet, camera chargers and power banks usually support 100–240 V and can be used safely with the correct plug or adapter.
CAUTION Laptops, game consoles and monitors often work worldwide, but always check the voltage range (100–240 V) on the power brick before plugging in.
AVOID Single-voltage devices with heating elements (hair dryers, straighteners, kettles) can be problematic if their rated voltage does not match the local supply of 230 V.

Mauritius is a well-established island resort destination in the Indian Ocean, with beautiful lagoons, lush interior highlands, a multicultural heritage and some of the region's best water sports and diving.

There, the main plug types C and G are used and the standard supply is 230 V at 50 Hz. You will need a travel adapter because the local plug types differ from those used in your home country. Most modern devices support 100–240 V.

Tip Mauritius uses type G three-pin sockets. Many large resorts provide multi-standard adapters on request, but bringing your own universal adapter is more reliable, especially in smaller guesthouses or self-catering villas.
