Mauritius Housing Prices: What You Will Actually Pay in 2025
Mauritius housing prices range from around USD 150,000 for a modest apartment to well over USD 2 million for a luxury beachfront villa. Where you land on that spectrum depends on location, property type, and whether you are buying or renting. Move To Mauritius helps you cut through the noise, match your budget to the right area, and handle every step of your relocation.
What Do Houses Cost in Mauritius Right Now?
Prices vary significantly by region and property category:
- Apartments (Grand Baie, Flic en Flac, Tamarin): USD 180,000 to USD 600,000 to buy. Rentals sit between USD 800 and USD 2,500 per month.
- Townhouses and semi-detached villas: USD 300,000 to USD 900,000, with monthly rentals from USD 1,500 upward.
- Standalone villas: USD 500,000 to USD 3,000,000 plus, depending on size, finishes, and proximity to the coast.
- IRS, RES, and PDS scheme properties (open to foreign buyers): Starting around USD 375,000, with no upper ceiling on premium developments.
Rental prices have risen roughly 10 to 15 percent since 2022 as expat demand has grown, so acting sooner rather than later protects your budget.
Can Foreigners Buy Property in Mauritius?
Yes, but only through approved government schemes such as the Property Development Scheme (PDS), the Smart City Scheme, or Ground Plus One (G+1) residential units. Purchasing through these schemes also qualifies you for a Mauritius residence permit, which is a major draw for relocating families and retirees.
Our team at Move To Mauritius guides you through scheme eligibility, developer vetting, and the legal purchase process so you never face unexpected hurdles.
Which Areas Offer the Best Value?
North (Grand Baie, Pereybere)
The most sought-after expat hub. Prices are higher, but rental yields and resale values are strong. Ideal if lifestyle amenities and international schools are a priority.
West (Tamarin, Black River, Flic en Flac)
Favoured by surfers, young families, and remote workers. Prices are 15 to 25 percent lower than the north for comparable properties, making this the sweet spot for value.
South and East (Mahebourg, Belle Mare)
More affordable and increasingly popular. Belle Mare commands a premium for its beach-front plots, but inland options remain competitively priced.
Port Louis and Ebene
Primarily apartment and commercial stock. Suits professionals who need city access, with rentals from USD 700 per month for a one-bedroom unit.
