The real estate market: booming<\/h2>\n

Prior to 2005, non-Mauritians could not own property in Mauritius. Since then, international investments have been authorised, but are strictly regulated via official development schemes like the IRS, Integrated Resort Scheme, designed for private foreign individuals looking to become home owners or establish their tax residence on the island.<\/p>\n

Prices have risen 5% per year over the last ten or so years<\/strong>, and have stabilised in the past five years. Villas near a golf course, for example, have seen their value increase from between \u20ac500,000 and \u20ac800,000 to \u20ac2M to \u20ac3M<\/strong>. Average prices are around \u20ac2,500 per sq.m<\/strong>, but can reach up to 3 or 4 times this amount for exceptional properties.<\/p>\n

Our advice<\/h2>\n

\u201cNow\u2019s the time to buy. The development opportunities are astounding, and prices remain very moderate. You won't find these types of bargains on any other island\u201d. Outi de Falbaire, founder BARNES Mauritius.<\/p>\n

The advantages of Mauritius?<\/strong>\u00a0Same time zone as the European continent, English and French spoken fluently, international schools, state-of-the-art hospitals, cinemas, shopping centres, security and a functioning democracy, soft tax regime (taxes capped at 15%).<\/p>\n

The best spots in Mauritius?<\/strong> Although the authentic east side of the island is popular with Mauritians, the most popular areas with the international clientele are Grand Baie in the north and Tamarin\/Rivi\u00e8re Noire in the southwest which combine coastlines, restaurants, shops and schools.<\/p>\n
