Apartments for Sale in Mauritius
Yes, foreigners can buy apartments in Mauritius, and the process is more straightforward than most people expect. With the right team guiding you, you can secure a property, obtain your residence permit, and be settled on the island within months.

Why Are Apartments in Mauritius So Attractive Right Now?
Mauritius continues to draw international buyers for good reason. The island offers political stability, a low flat tax rate of 15%, no capital gains tax, and a quality of life that rivals far more expensive destinations. Apartments in Grand Baie, Tamarin, Pereybere, and Moka are particularly popular with expats seeking a blend of convenience, community, and coastal access.
Prices range from around USD 150,000 for a compact one-bedroom unit to well over USD 1,000,000 for a premium penthouse in a resort-style development. The sweet spot for most relocating professionals and retirees sits between USD 250,000 and USD 600,000.
What Schemes Allow Foreigners to Buy Apartments?
Foreign nationals can purchase apartments in Mauritius under several government-approved frameworks:
- PDS (Property Development Scheme): Integrated residential estates with resort amenities, open to foreign buyers at any price point above the minimum threshold.
- Smart City Scheme: Mixed-use urban developments combining residential, commercial, and leisure spaces.
- Ground Floor Apartment (GFA) Scheme: Allows foreigners to purchase ground-floor apartments in buildings of two or more floors, with a minimum investment of USD 375,000.
- IRS/RES Legacy Properties: Older scheme properties still available on the resale market.
Purchasing under any of these schemes above the qualifying threshold automatically entitles you to a Mauritian residence permit, making the property investment doubly valuable.
For a detailed breakdown of each scheme and eligibility rules, the guides on mauritius-life.com are an excellent reference.
