How do I send flowers and gifts to Mauritius from the UAE?
Order online from the Emirates before 11:30am Mauritius time - and because Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Mauritius are all on UTC+4, that is 11:30am on your own clock too - and DodoMarket makes your bouquet, cake or hamper on the island and hand-delivers it the same day, anywhere in Mauritius, seven days a week. Nothing is posted from the UAE, so there is no parcel to track, no customs form to fill in and nothing for your family to pay when it arrives.
- What you get
Fresh flowers, handmade cakes, chocolates, Mauritian gift hampers and personalised gifts - chosen online from the UAE and prepared by our own team in Mauritius, not shipped out from the Emirates.
- How fast
Same day if you order before the cut-off, otherwise next day or the exact date you choose at checkout. Handmade cakes need about 48 hours.
- What it costs
Bouquets start at Rs 999 (about AED 78) and Mauritian hampers at Rs 1,550 (about AED 122). Delivery from Rs 399 (about AED 31); the final rate depends on the service and delivery date and is shown before payment. DodoPrime members pay less - from Rs 199, and nothing at all on standard delivery for orders over Rs 1,999 (about AED 157) outside peak dates.
- Same-day cut-off
11:30am in Mauritius - and 11:30am where you are. Mauritius is UTC+4 and never changes for daylight saving, and so is the UAE, so the cut-off is the same hour all year with no mental arithmetic. Order after it and we deliver the next day.
- Where we deliver
Everywhere in Mauritius - Port Louis, Curepipe, Quatre Bornes, Grand Baie, Flic-en-Flac, Mahébourg and the villages in between - every day of the week, Saturday and Sunday included.
- Proof of delivery
We confirm the delivery and send you a photo, so you can see it arrived and what it looked like when it did.
Dirham amounts on this page are indicative conversions at early-September 2026 rates (roughly Rs 12.7 to AED 1), shown only to help you budget. Checkout is in Mauritian rupees (MUR): your UAE bank converts at its own rate on the day and we never charge you in dirhams.
When Mauritius celebrates - and when to order from the UAE
The island's calendar mixes the Muslim, Hindu, Chinese and Christian ones, much as the Emirates do. These are the dates Mauritian families keep, with the collection to order from.
- Eid al-FitrThe date moves each year with the lunar calendar, so it shifts about eleven days earlier every year. Order two or three days before the moon is sighted.Ramadan & Eid gifts
- Eid al-AdhaFalls roughly ten weeks after Eid al-Fitr and moves with the same lunar calendar. A public holiday in Mauritius as well as in the Emirates.Ramadan & Eid gifts
- Divali8 November 2026. Order by 6 November so it lands before the lamps go out.Divali gifts
- Christmas25 December. Our busiest week of the year - order by 20 December.Christmas gifts & treats
- Valentine's Day14 February. Roses sell out on the island - order two days ahead.Valentine's flowers & gifts
- Mother's DayMauritius keeps the last Sunday in May - 30 May 2027. The Emirates mark Mother's Day on 21 March, so many Mauritians here send twice.Mother's Day gifts
- Father's DayThird Sunday in June.Father's Day gifts
- Chinese Spring FestivalLate January or February, depending on the year.Gifts by occasion

Order direct from the actual florist, not through a relay site
Most sites that rank for "send flowers to Mauritius" never touch the flowers. They take your order in dirhams, dollars or euros, pass it to a shop on the island and keep the difference - which is why their prices are quoted as ranges and their delivery fee only appears at the payment step. DodoMarket is the shop on the island. Here is what the same order looks like both ways.
| What you are sending | International relay sites | Their delivery fee | DodoMarket, direct | What that means for you |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hand-tied rose bouquet | €53-€289 for one listing, price varies by size and date | Not shown until checkout | Rs 999-Rs 4,000 (about AED 78-AED 315), fixed on the page | You see the exact bouquet and the exact price before you pay |
| Florist's choice bouquet | US$90.95 (about AED 334) | Not stated on the page | From Rs 1,199 (about AED 94) | No relay commission, and no separate currency-conversion fee from us |
| Mauritian gift hamper, delivered same-day | Not shown - prices load behind a bot check, so a visitor sees none | "Calculated from the delivery destination and the product chosen", at checkout | From Rs 1,550 (about AED 122), plus delivery from Rs 399 (about AED 31) | One published price, in rupees, the same in every town - and the delivery rate is shown before payment |

Who actually prepares it
Our own team in Mauritius buys the flowers, makes the arrangement and drives it to the door. Relay sites describe their fulfilment as a partner florist serving the selected area - which florist, you find out afterwards, if at all.
-
One price, in rupees
Every price here is the price, in Mauritian rupees. Delivery from Rs 399; the final rate depends on the service and delivery date and is shown before payment. No city surcharge, and no fee that only appears once your card details are in.

Nobody in the middle
You are buying from the shop, not from a booking layer taking a commission on top. And if something needs fixing, the people who made the gift are the people who answer on +230 5510 8188 - in your own working hours, because we share your time zone.

Sending Gifts to Mauritius from the UAE: Common Questions
Same day, if you order before 11:30am Mauritius time - which is 11:30am in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah too, because the Emirates and Mauritius are both on UTC+4. There is no international shipping involved, because we are already on the island. Order after the cut-off and it goes the next day, or on the exact date you choose at checkout. Handmade cakes need about 48 hours.
No - nothing, ever. A parcel posted from the UAE almost always gets taxed: Mauritius charges import duty on parcels from abroad, and the value of the gift plus the shipping is usually enough to trigger it. Because we buy, make and deliver everything inside Mauritius, there is no parcel, no customs entry and no fee for your recipient to pay at the door.
Your card is charged in Mauritian rupees (MUR). You pay with your normal UAE Visa, Mastercard or Amex, and your bank converts at its own rate exactly as it would on holiday - there is no currency selector on this site because we are a Mauritian shop quoting Mauritian prices. To help you budget, Rs 1,000 is roughly AED 79 at early-September 2026 rates. DodoMarket does not add a separate currency-conversion fee; your card issuer's exchange rate and fees may apply.
Yes - both are UTC+4 all year, and neither changes its clocks, so there is no time difference at all between the Emirates and Mauritius. Our same-day cut-off of 11:30am on the island is simply 11:30am on your own phone, in summer and winter alike. For birthdays and festivals, order a day or two early - Eid, Divali, Christmas and Valentine's Day are the weeks that sell out.
Yes to both. We hand-deliver anywhere in Mauritius - Port Louis, Curepipe, Quatre Bornes, Grand Baie, Flic-en-Flac, Mahébourg and every village between - and flowers and gifts go out every day of the week, Saturday and Sunday included. Add the recipient's local mobile number so our driver can call or WhatsApp if a gate or a building needs opening.
We tell you, and we show you. Once the gift is handed over, our team confirms the delivery and sends you a photo of it - so you are not left refreshing a tracking page 6,000 km away wondering whether "delivered" meant delivered.
We make what you see, in our own workshop in Mauritius, so we are not relaying your order to a stranger's shop and hoping. If a seasonal stem genuinely runs out on the day, we contact you first - WhatsApp or email - before anything changes. We would rather ask than quietly substitute and call it a similar alternative.
Us - on +230 5510 8188, by phone or WhatsApp. That is a Mauritius number answered by the team that prepared your gift, in Mauritius time (UTC+4) - which is your time, so you never have to wait for another country's office to open. Relay platforms typically publish only an overseas call-centre number, because there is nobody of theirs on the island to reach.
What UAE Mauritians Send For
Festivals & Holidays
The island celebrates them all - and so does the Mauritian community across the Emirates:
Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, Divali, Christmas, Chinese Spring Festival, Holi. Send sweets, hampers and flowers to mark the day, wherever you are.
Family Milestones
Be there for the big moments from afar:
Birthdays, anniversaries, a new baby, exam results, Mother's & Father's Day. A surprise gift says "I'm thinking of you" better than a call.
Just Because
No occasion needed:
Thinking of you, get well, sympathy, or simply missing home. Sometimes the best gifts are the unexpected ones.
