How to write a Mauritian address

Home to the now-extinct dodo bird, Mauritius is one of those places that’s filled with unique and beautiful protected-by-humans creatures. If you want to become pen pals with the Mauritius kestrel or the pink pigeon, you'll need to know how to write a Mauritian address correctly. And you've come to the right place.

It may be unfair since the kestrel doesn't know how to address a letter to you, but that's no excuse for not knowing how to write a Mauritian address when it's actually quite simple. Below, you'll find several address examples you can compare against and a breakdown of the Mauritius address format. If you have other address-related needs, feel free to ask! That's what Smarty is here for.

  1. Addressee line – The recipient’s full name.
  2. **Building number then street name **– The street name comes after the building number on this line.
  3. The city - The city or town that the address is in goes on this line.
  4. Country – Don't forget the country name, which can be shortened to MUS.

We evaluated quite a few providers, and felt that Smarty was the right partner for us, given their user-friendly approach and robust support. It checked all of our boxes.
