Cap Tamarin Smart City – New Developments in Tamarin, Mauritius
Cap Tamarin, the Smart City on Mauritius’s west coast
Cap Tamarin is the extension of Tamarin village, on the west coast of Mauritius, in the Rivière Noire district. The project covers 44 hectares and is being developed in three phases, from 2018 to 2030, for around 1,200 homes. It is approved under the Smart City Scheme, which opens up the purchase to non-citizens and access to a residence permit above the regulatory thresholds.
The guiding idea is “Live, work and play”: you live, work and unwind in the same place, without a car. A primary school, clinic, hypermarket, local shops, offices, sports facilities and a 3 hectare riverside park are on the estate or a few minutes’ walk away. This is what sets Cap Tamarin apart from a stand-alone development: the neighbourhood is already up and running, with two developments completed and occupied for years.
The estate has nine developments in total, six of which are detailed below. Three more complete the offering: Suncoast, thirty-two two-bedroom apartments of 125 to 144 m² and four 230 m² penthouses, 300 m from the beach, sold off-plan; 25 Somerset West, just nine homes — eight apartments of 194 m² and one 258 m² penthouse — entirely sold off-plan; the Terrasses du Barachois, thirty-five two- and three-bedroom apartments completed in 2016, the oldest on the estate. Completed developments are handled as resales: let us know so we can alert you as soon as a property becomes available.
6 developments for sale — Zetwal, Cosy Bay, Villas A’loès, Riverfront plots, Suncoast and H57
3 developments completed or sold out — O’Patio, the Terrasses du Barachois and 25 Somerset West

Why buy at Cap Tamarin?
A neighbourhood that’s already alive, not a plan
The Terrasses du Barachois have been completed since 2016 and O’Patio is occupied. You can walk real streets, see real shops and meet real neighbours before you buy — removing the most costly uncertainty of an off-plan purchase.
Everything on foot, no car needed
A primary school, clinic, hypermarket, local shops, restaurants, offices and sports facilities are all on the estate. Three kilometres of footpaths and cycle paths link the neighbourhoods. For an expat family, this is the argument that counts most from day to day.
Nine developments, every budget
From a Cosy Bay apartment at 7 900 000 Rs to the 216 m² A’loès villa on a 400 m² plot, by way of the H57 offices and eight riverside plots: the estate covers most property investment projects under a single address — and six developments are still for sale.
The Smart City Scheme
Cap Tamarin is approved under the Smart City Scheme. The purchase is open to non-citizens and gives access to a residence permit above the regulatory thresholds. The terms depend on the development and the amount: we check them with you before any reservation.
Costs to factor in
A registration duty of 5 % is payable by the buyer, plus notary fees. An increase to 10 % had been announced for 1st July 2026; it has been repealed and the 5 % rate continues to apply. We prepare the full costing before any offer.
