Houses in Mauritius
Finding the right house in Mauritius is entirely achievable, and Move To Mauritius makes the process straightforward from your first search to the day you collect your keys. Whether you are relocating permanently, retiring to the island, or moving for work, we connect you with vetted properties and manage every step of your move.
What Kind of Houses Can You Find in Mauritius?
Mauritius offers a genuine range of residential options to suit different budgets and lifestyles. Choices include:
- Beachside villas in Grand Baie, Tamarin, and Flic en Flac, ideal for buyers who want sea views and resort-style living
- Gated estate homes in Beau Morceau, Moka, and Pereybere, popular with families relocating for schooling and security
- PDS and IRS scheme properties, which allow foreign nationals to purchase freehold houses and qualify for a Mauritius residence permit
- Long-term rental houses across the island, perfect for expats who want to settle before committing to a purchase
Each region has its own character. The north is lively and cosmopolitan, the west is known for surf and sunsets, and the central plateau offers cooler temperatures and strong infrastructure. Our relocation advisors help you match your lifestyle priorities to the right location.
Can Foreigners Buy Houses in Mauritius?
Yes. Foreign nationals can buy residential property in Mauritius through approved government schemes such as the Property Development Scheme (PDS), the Smart City Scheme, and the Ground Plus One (G+1) scheme. Purchasing a qualifying property above the minimum investment threshold also grants you and your dependants a residence permit.
Navigating these schemes involves legal due diligence, notary coordination, and permit applications. Move To Mauritius works alongside trusted local lawyers and property agents to keep the process clean and compliant.
