With its lush vegetation, low taxes and political stability, many buyers are tempted by the appetising cocktail offered by Mauritius. In addition to its seaside potential, its multiculturalism, its climate and its welcoming population, this small country with great ambitions attracts many property investors. Let's see in detail why...

The island of all assets

On Mauritius, the eyes look far away. Here, one can enjoy the sublime sun-drenched panoramas, on which white sandy beaches, bordered by coconut palms and turquoise lagoons are revealed. A postcard setting that is becoming increasingly popular with tourists and investors looking for new horizons. Ideally located between Africa and Asia, Mauritius is a leader in good governance and quality of life. A model of success for other small island states and African countries, the pearl of the Indian Ocean has become the destination of choice.

The advantages of the Mauritian property market

If the real estate market is so attractive, it is certainly because the Mauritian tax system is one of the most advantageous in the world. Indeed, to encourage investment, the government has opted for a tax-free regime on capital gains (real estate), wealth, inheritance and dividends. Income tax and corporation tax are 15% and the absence of property tax and social security contributions are the main reasons for the popularity of the property among buyers. All these advantages apply to locals as well as foreigners who, moreover, benefit from numerous bilateral agreements signed between the island and their country to avoid double taxation on their investments. In order to encourage the arrival and installation of an international clientele, the Mauritian government has put in place a number of regulated schemes through different types of investment regimes:

Thus, the offer of properties on the market is varied and can correspond to a high-end clientele in search of exceptional properties. Also, and a new trend on the Mauritian market, the range of properties available for resale is widening. Some foreigners choose to settle in Mauritius to live more comfortably, while others prefer to invest in seasonal or annual rental properties to make their capital profitable.
