A Real Estate Market That Remains Attractive<\/h2>\n\n A strong and sustainable momentum for 2026<\/h3>\n\n
Mauritius\u2019 real estate market continues to show strong vitality. Foreign investors, mainly from France and South Africa, continue to see it as a safe and long-term opportunity. Mauritius stands out for its clear and regulated schemes that allow non-citizens to acquire property:<\/p>\n\n IRS (Integrated Resort Scheme)<\/strong> and RES (Real Estate Scheme)<\/strong> for large luxury resort residences,<\/p><\/li>\n\n\n\n PDS (Property Development Scheme)<\/strong>, more flexible and modern, open to projects with a true community dimension,<\/p><\/li>\n\n\n\n G+2<\/strong> (acquisition of a property in a building of at least two floors), allowing the purchase of residential properties for permanent residence, with apartments often less expensive than villas or high-end developments.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n These schemes provide full ownership, and above a certain investment threshold (at least USD 375,000), they also grant a residence permit for the buyer and their family.<\/p>\n\n Some regions stand out particularly:<\/p>\n\n The west coast<\/strong>, between Tamarin, Rivi\u00e8re Noire, and Le Morne, remains the beating heart of the high-end market.<\/p><\/li>\n\n\n\n The south<\/strong>, still largely preserved, attracts nature lovers, water sports enthusiasts, and those seeking authenticity, particularly around Baie du Cap<\/a> and Bel Ombre, with developments such as Le Domaine d\u2019Anbalaba.<\/a><\/p><\/li>\n\n\n\n The north<\/strong>, around Grand Baie and its surroundings, appeals for its lively atmosphere, shopping, and international schools.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n This variety of environments allows everyone to find their balance, whether for a primary residence, a second home, or a rental investment.<\/p>\n\n One of Mauritius\u2019 major advantages for investors (combined with strong rental yields) is its competitive and transparent tax framework. Mauritius ranks among the most solid and well-managed economies in Africa. Working in the morning with a view of the lagoon, going for a hike in the afternoon, dining with your feet in the sand in the evening\u2026 Mauritius offers several options tailored to different profiles:<\/p>\n\n The Premium Visa<\/strong>, valid for one year and renewable, perfect for testing life on the island.<\/p><\/li>\n\n\n\n The Occupation Permit<\/strong>, designed for professionals, investors, or self-employed individuals planning to settle long-term.<\/p><\/li>\n\n\n\n The Retired Non-Citizen Permit<\/strong>, for retirees who want to fully enjoy life on the island.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n Each option comes with specific rights. It is therefore essential to get proper advice to choose the visa that best suits your project.<\/p>\n\n Before committing to a purchase, many choose to rent for a few months. This allows them to better understand the specifics of different regions: climate, pace of life, services, and atmosphere.
High-end residential developments are on the rise, particularly on the west coast and in the south of the island, while standalone villas and serviced apartments remain highly sought after.<\/p>\n\n![\"Penthouse](\"https:\/\/cote-sud.mu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/HRS08116_LR-1024x683.jpg\")
