Penthouses for Sale in Mauritius

Yes — foreign nationals can purchase penthouses in Mauritius through the Property Development Scheme (PDS) and Smart City frameworks. PDS-approved penthouses are fully freehold and grant permanent residency rights to buyers investing USD 375,000 or more. Non-PDS property requires Board of Investment approval on a case-by-case basis. Our team can advise on the most suitable structures for your situation.

Buyers should budget for registration duty (5% of purchase price), land transfer tax (5%), notary fees (approximately 1–1.5%), and legal fees. Some PDS schemes offer partial or full exemptions on registration duty. Total transaction costs typically run to 10–12% of the purchase price. A notary is mandatory for all property purchases in Mauritius.

A standard property purchase in Mauritius takes 60–90 days from offer to final deed signing. The process involves a preliminary sale agreement (vente en l'état futur d'achèvement for off-plan) followed by the official act of sale before a notary. Foreign buyers may need an additional 30–60 days to secure BOI approval where required.

Penthouses within PDS-approved developments qualify for Mauritian permanent residency if purchased at or above the USD 375,000 threshold. The residency permit covers the buyer and immediate family members. Many luxury penthouse developments are specifically structured to meet PDS criteria, making this one of the most popular routes to Mauritian residency.
