One Bedroom Apartments in Mauritius: The Complete Buyer and Renter Guide

One Bedroom Apartments — The Mauritius Property Market's Sweet Spot

One bedroom apartments in Mauritius occupy the most active segment of the property market. They are affordable enough to be within reach of individual professionals and couples, versatile enough to work as both furnished short lets and unfurnished long-term rentals, and the right size for the majority of the island's expat arrivals who are either single, a couple, or downsizing from a larger home abroad. For investors, a well-chosen one bedroom apartment in Mauritius delivers the most consistent rental demand across the full calendar year.

PropertyFinder Mauritius carries one bedroom apartments across all major districts, from entry-level unfurnished units on the central plateau to premium furnished apartments in beachfront gated residences. This guide covers everything you need to know to rent or buy one.

Where to Find One Bedroom Apartments in Mauritius

One bedroom apartment supply is strongest in these areas:

• Grand Baie: The island's most active short-let apartment market. Furnished one-bedroom apartments are priced at a premium but command the highest daily and monthly rates. Best for investors targeting tourism season income. Prices: MUR 25,000–55,000/month furnished.
• Flic en Flac: The west coast's most balanced one-bedroom apartment market — strong demand from long-term expat tenants, reasonable prices, and a lifestyle few other locations can match. MUR 20,000–40,000/month furnished; MUR 15,000–25,000/month unfurnished.
• Tamarin and La Preneuse: A smaller supply of one-bedroom apartments but in the most lifestyle-premium location on the island. MUR 22,000–45,000/month furnished.
• Quatre Bornes and Beau Bassin: Best value for money. Strong local tenant demand. Unfurnished one-bedroom apartments from MUR 14,000/month. Ideal for buy-to-let investors targeting corporate and professional tenants.
• Moka: Growing market, proximity to international schools and Ebène Cybercity. Premium over Quatre Bornes but below coastal prices. MUR 18,000–35,000/month.

Buying a One Bedroom Apartment in Mauritius

One bedroom apartments are among the most accessible entry points for property purchase in Mauritius. Purchase prices range from MUR 2.5 million for a basic unit in a residential plateau building to MUR 8–12 million for a premium furnished apartment in a beachfront residence with pool and gym. Gross rental yields of 5–8% are achievable in coastal areas, with more stable but slightly lower yields of 4–6% on the central plateau.

Foreign buyers should check the Expat Eligible status of any one-bedroom apartment before proceeding to offer stage. Standalone residential apartments in standard Mauritian residential blocks are typically not purchasable by non-citizens. Purpose-built resort or scheme developments may qualify — our team will confirm eligibility for any specific property.

What to Expect in a Mauritius One Bedroom Apartment

A typical one bedroom apartment in Mauritius includes: a separate bedroom (as opposed to a studio's open-plan sleeping area), a living room, a kitchen or kitchenette, a bathroom, and in most modern developments, a terrace or balcony. Air conditioning is standard in furnished apartments and increasingly common in unfurnished units. Key features to look for: the aspect and light (east-facing for morning sun, west-facing for afternoon and sunsets), natural ventilation (important in a tropical climate for reducing AC dependence), and the building's maintenance standard. Our agents will walk you through all of these during any viewing.
