Villas for Sale in West

Yes, foreign nationals can buy villas in Mauritius through approved routes: the Property Development Scheme (PDS), the Smart City Scheme, apartments in G+2 buildings and resale units in older IRS/RES developments, each with Economic Development Board (EDB) approval. A PDS or Smart City purchase of USD 375,000 or more gives the buyer and family a residence permit for as long as the property is held. Our team can advise on the most suitable route for your situation.

The buyer pays 5% registration duty and the seller pays 5% land transfer tax, for non-citizens as well as citizens. Buyers should also budget for notary and legal fees, which vary by transaction. A licensed notary is mandatory for every property purchase in Mauritius and will confirm the exact costs before you sign.

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.

A PDS (Property Development Scheme) villa is built within a BOI-approved integrated resort estate. Purchasing a PDS villa above the minimum investment threshold — currently USD 375,000 — entitles the buyer and their family to a Mauritius residence permit, valid for as long as they own the property. PDS villas offer freehold title, full management services, and the right to rent the property when not in use.
