    7 reasons to buy property in Mauritius

    Mauritius is establishing itself as a prime real estate investment destination, offering an exceptional living environment, advantageous taxation and numerous opportunities for investors from all over the world.

    Here are the main advantages to consider when buying property in Mauritius.

    1- Between sandy beaches, turquoise lagoons and verdant mountains, Mauritius offers an incomparable quality of life. The mild year-round tropical climate and low crime rate contribute to a peaceful and secure environment, ideal for living or vacationing.


    2- One of the major advantages of Mauritius is its tax system. Property owners benefit from a single tax rate of 15% on rental income, and there is no capital gains tax on the resale of a property. What's more, there are no inheritance taxes for direct heirs, making it easier to pass on wealth.


    3- Since its independence, Mauritius has enjoyed enviable political and economic stability, attracting many foreign investors. Administrative procedures are simplified, and the government encourages real estate investment, notably through specific programs such as the Real Estate Scheme (RES) or the Property Development Scheme (PDS).


    4- The Mauritian real estate market is booming, with a wide variety of properties available: villas, apartments, plots of land, luxury residences... Popular areas such as Grand Baie, Tamarin and Rivière Noire are experiencing constant appreciation, offering excellent potential for long-term capital gains.


    5- Investing in real estate in Mauritius also generates attractive rental income, particularly in tourist areas. Seasonal rentals via platforms like Airbnb are particularly profitable, and rental demand remains strong all year round.


    6- The purchase of a property with a minimum value (e.g. 375,000 USD in certain programs) enables you to obtain a residence permit for yourself and your family. This is a unique opportunity to settle permanently on the island and take full advantage of all its benefits.


    7- In Mauritius, there is no property tax, council tax or local property tax. Foreign investors can also freely repatriate their profits, dividends and capital, making investment even more attractive.
