Why Mauritius? The Case for Property on This Indian Ocean Gem
Mauritius punches well above its weight as a global property market. A stable parliamentary democracy, investment-grade sovereign credit rating and one of the most progressive tax regimes in Africa have made this 2,040 km² island a magnet for international buyers, retirees and remote workers. Add in 300 days of sunshine, a cosmopolitan culture that blends French, British, Indian and Creole influences, and some of the finest beaches in the Indian Ocean, and the appeal becomes obvious.
A Stable, Business-Friendly Economy
Mauritius consistently ranks as one of Africa's most competitive economies, regularly appearing in the top 25 of international indices for ease of doing business and economic freedom. The island has no capital gains tax, no inheritance tax and a flat 15% income tax — a combination that has attracted wealth management companies, family offices and technology businesses from around the world. The currency is stable, major international banks operate on the island, and funds can be freely repatriated.
Foreign Buyers: Access & Schemes
Foreign nationals can purchase property in Mauritius through approved government schemes — principally PDS (Property Development Scheme), Smart City and G+2 residential schemes. A minimum investment of USD 375,000 through an approved scheme entitles the buyer to a Mauritius Permanent Residence Permit. These schemes are clearly indicated on every eligible property listing on PropertyFinder. Our agents provide complimentary scheme guidance to all international buyers.
Life on the Island
Daily life in Mauritius blends convenience and beauty in a way few island destinations can match. International supermarkets, private hospitals, international schools, 5G mobile coverage and high-speed fibre broadband make the practicalities entirely manageable. Mauritius is consistently ranked the safest country in Africa. The expat community is large, well-organised and internationally diverse, with active social clubs, beach groups and professional networks across every region.

Frequently Asked Questions

- Yes. Foreign nationals can purchase property in Mauritius through approved government schemes: PDS (Property Development Scheme), Smart City, IRS (Integrated Resort Scheme) and the G+2 apartment scheme. A minimum investment of USD 375,000 under PDS or Smart City entitles the buyer to a Permanent Residence Permit. PropertyFinder lists all expat-eligible properties with scheme type clearly labelled.

- Which region of Mauritius is best for property?
- The best region depends on your priorities. The West (Tamarin, Black River) is the lifestyle leader — surfing, beaches, social scene. The North (Grand Baie) offers the best infrastructure and expat community. The East (Belle Mare) has the finest beaches and tranquillity. The South (Le Morne) is most affordable with dramatic scenery. Central Mauritius offers the best value and connectivity for rental-yield investors.
- Are there taxes on Mauritius property purchases?
- Stamp duty is 5% for Mauritius residents. Non-citizen buyers purchasing under an approved scheme (PDS, Smart City) pay a fixed registration fee rather than ad valorem stamp duty. There is no capital gains tax and no inheritance tax. Annual property tax is minimal. All costs should be confirmed with your notary at the preliminary agreement stage.
