Charming beachfront homes, contemporary apartments in lively coastal towns, elegant villas with pools tucked away in wilder regions. Mauritius offers a wide variety of real estate options for foreigners dreaming of an investment under the tropics. But which type of home is right for you? How do you make the right decision? Here are four key steps to guide you through buying property in Mauritius. <\/p>\n\n
Learn about the investment rules in Mauritius<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Mauritius has introduced new measures to encourage foreign investment and make settling on the island easier. The minimum amount needed to qualify for permanent residency has been reduced. Non Mauritian citizens can now invest a minimum of three hundred seventy five thousand dollars instead of five hundred thousand to access a permanent residence permit. Those already holding an Occupation Permit, a Residence Permit or a Permanent Residence Permit may also purchase fully serviced plots of up to two thousand one hundred square metres in the smart cities for residential use, subject to approval from the Economic Development Board. <\/p>\n\n Foreigners can invest through both the PDS and Smart City schemes, which include high end villas, apartments and penthouses located in designated areas. Keeping these regulations in mind is essential when purchasing property in Mauritius. <\/p>\n\n At Azuri Village, you will find luxurious apartments and villas<\/a> right by the sea. Refined architecture, spacious bedrooms, nearby restaurants, a tennis club and a golf course<\/a> contribute to an exceptional lifestyle in the north east of the island. <\/p>\n\n Choose a property that fits your needs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Mauritius has homes to suit every taste and budget. Prices vary according to the location and size of the property. Some developments are in lively beach towns in the north or west, while others are set in quieter and more authentic regions in the south or east. There are also residences in the central areas for those who prefer city living. <\/p>\n\n If you enjoy generous spaces, look for a property that reflects the Mauritian way of living, where indoor and outdoor areas blend together to create bright and comfortable homes. If you prefer something more compact, you will also find cosy apartments perfectly suited to a quieter lifestyle. Nature lovers often favour locations away from busy areas, surrounded by greenery and peace. <\/p>\n\n Before making your final choice, it is important to consider what truly meets your needs.

You can reach Grand Baie, the most popular beach town in the north, in just twenty minutes. <\/p>\n\n Research the real estate developer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Before signing anything, it is important to learn about the developer and gather as much information as possible. Look at customer reviews and past projects to assess their reliability. You can also check whether the developer is part of a major established group.
