These properties are often located in secure residences or private estates offering services, comfort and privacy.
Beachfront properties

Why invest in real estate in Mauritius?
Beyond the beauty of its landscapes and its art of living, Mauritius now stands out as one of the most attractive destinations for international real estate investment. Its secure legal framework, political stability, dynamic economy, and competitive taxation attract many investors every year from Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.
The prestige real estate market benefits from sustained demand, driven both by local residents and by an international clientele seeking a second home, expatriation, or asset diversification in a stable environment.
A stable economic and political environment
Mauritius benefits from a well-established democracy, a legal framework inspired by French and British law, as well as an economy open to the international market. This stability is a real factor of confidence for investors looking to acquire real estate for the long term.
Attractive taxation
Mauritian taxation is one of the island's main assets. Investors benefit from a particularly competitive tax environment, including a single income tax rate, no capital gains tax on real estate, and no inheritance tax in direct line under the legislation in force. However, it is advisable to seek support from a specialized advisor to assess each personal situation.
Projects open to foreign buyers
Mauritius allows non-residents to acquire certain properties within programs specifically approved by the Mauritian authorities. These schemes offer a secure investment framework and may, under certain conditions, allow the buyer and their family to obtain a residence permit.
A dynamic real estate market
The steady development of high-end residences, golf estates, and seaside projects helps strengthen the attractiveness of the Mauritian market. The quality of the infrastructure, the growth of upscale tourism, and the increasing interest of international investors contribute to the dynamism of prestige real estate on the island.
A sustainable wealth investment
Whether for a primary residence, a holiday home, or a rental investment, buying a luxury property in Mauritius combines quality of life, asset diversification, and long-term appreciation prospects in one of the most sought-after destinations in the Indian Ocean.
Which real estate programs are available to foreign buyers?
Mauritius has introduced several schemes allowing foreign buyers to invest in Mauritian real estate safely. Regulated by the Mauritian authorities, these programs make it possible to acquire villas, apartments, or penthouses within specially approved residences and estates.
Each scheme meets specific criteria in terms of property type, location, and acquisition conditions. Depending on the property's value and the regulations in force, some programs may also allow the investor and their family to obtain a residence permit.
Property Development Scheme (PDS)
The Property Development Scheme (PDS) is now the main program intended for foreign investors. It brings together high-end residences offering villas, apartments, and penthouses set within landscaped environments of quality, with numerous services and amenities.
Integrated Resort Scheme (IRS)
The Integrated Resort Scheme (IRS) is the origin of several of the island's most prestigious residential estates. These developments feature luxury villas located within resorts offering premium services such as golf courses, spas, marinas, restaurants, and concierge services.
Real Estate Scheme (RES)
The Real Estate Scheme (RES) enabled the development of more intimate residences, offering high-end properties in a secure environment. Although gradually replaced by the PDS, many RES properties remain particularly sought after on the market today.
Smart City Scheme
The Smart City Scheme supports the development of new districts designed to offer a modern, sustainable, and connected living environment. These projects combine housing, shops, offices, schools, green spaces, and leisure infrastructure to create genuine living spaces adapted to the expectations of an international clientele.
Support at every stage of your investment
The choice of real estate program depends on your project, your personal situation, and your wealth objectives. The teams at Michaël Zingraf Real Estate support you in understanding these different schemes and guide you toward the solutions best suited to your investment in Mauritius.

A pleasant tropical climate all year round
Thanks to its mild, sunny climate, Mauritius makes it possible to enjoy outdoor activities throughout the year. Sailing, scuba diving, kitesurfing, paddleboarding, hiking, golf, and sea outings set the rhythm of residents' daily lives in a preserved natural environment.
A destination renowned for golf
Mauritius is home to several of the most renowned golf courses in the Indian Ocean, designed by internationally acclaimed architects. Many residential estates allow people to live in the heart of these courses while benefiting from high-end services and a privileged environment.
A blended gastronomy and culture
A crossroads of European, African, Indian and Asian cultures, Mauritius has a unique identity. This richness can be found in its cuisine, traditions, festivals and way of life, offering an authentic experience to both residents and visitors alike.
Internationally recognized quality of life
Safety, political stability, modern infrastructure, a preserved natural environment and an openness to the world make Mauritius one of the most attractive destinations for living, investing or preparing for a retirement in the sun.
