Sugar Cane Bloom in Mauritius 2025
In June, the whole island dresses in sugarcane’s blossoms
Best time: June
In 1598 the Dutch introduced sugar from Java on the island. Ever since, sugarcane became one of the most popular plants in Mauritius, providing the island with great harvests and a fine income.
Nowadays sugarcane is cultivated on 72,000 hectares—85% of the arable land of Mauritius. And once a year, right before it is harvested, sugarcane starts to blossom. It dresses up into white or pink flowers, which cover the whole island creating a truly fascinating spectacle.
