Are you looking for real estate in South Mauritius? The South is the best-preserved coast of the island. Cliffs, forests, sheltered bays and historic villages create authentic landscapes. In addition, some areas remain close to the airport. VIP’S H’OM presents the main villages of the South, the types of property available and the points to check before buying.

Why choose real estate in South Mauritius?

First, the South is the least urbanised region. As a result, the landscapes remain intact and the atmosphere stays calm. Next, the Blue Bay marine park attracts divers and snorkellers. Meanwhile, Mahébourg offers a lively market and a rich history. Finally, Bel Ombre relies on its residential estates and its natural setting. To plan a visit, see the official site of tourism in Mauritius.

The villages of the South

Bel Ombre brings together large estates, golf courses and generous nature.

For their part, Blue Bay and Pointe d’Esny border a superb lagoon, close to Mahébourg and the airport.

Finally, Vieux Grand Port is the historic site where the Dutch, then the French, settled.

Real estate in South Mauritius: buying or renting

The South offers villas, houses, plots of land and programmes within estates. However, a foreigner cannot buy everywhere. They generally go through a scheme provided for by law (PDS, IRS, RES or Smart City). The principle is explained in our guide to property schemes for foreigners and on the page about the residence permit. In addition, the Economic Development Board presents the official framework on its website. For rentals by the year, see our long-term rental page.

Our advice before buying in the South

The South is more remote. Check the distance to schools, shops and health services. Then test the journey to your workplace. Finally, observe the exposure to wind, which varies a lot from one area to another. For a wider view of the island, also see real estate in the West.
