HARMONIE golf villas
ACCESSIBLE TO FOREIGNERS and WITHOUT AGENCY FEES
The development project will include luxury villas set along a new 18-hole golf course, offering magnificent panoramic views of western Mauritius, the golf course, the ocean and Le Morne mountain. These villas will be nestled on plots averaging 2,000 m², with an actual built area of 400 m².
The aim of this project is to enable residents to take full advantage of tropical life by combining responsible construction and well-being. The villas will be designed with respect for the environment and offer a luxurious living environment.
The project will be developed under the Vente en l’Etat Futur d’Achèvement (VEFA) scheme and will be subject to the Property Development Scheme (PDS), which means it will be accessible to foreigners as well as Mauritians.
The project will be carried out in three phases. Phase 1 will offer three types of prestigious villas, each with a completely different design but always with refined decoration.
NO AGENCY FEES
The villas in the project can be optionally equipped with photovoltaic solar panels, battery storage and a back-up generator. This feature gives future owners the option of choosing a villa that is 100% off-grid.
Photovoltaic solar panels will convert solar energy into electricity, providing a renewable and sustainable source of energy to power the villa’s electrical needs. The storage batteries will store the energy produced by the solar panels, providing a reserve of electricity for later use, particularly during periods of low sunshine.
If additional electricity is required, or if the solar system fails, an emergency generator can be used to ensure a continuous power supply to the villa.
This off-grid villa option enables homeowners to reduce their dependence on the traditional electricity grid, minimize their carbon footprint and adopt a more sustainable lifestyle. They can thus benefit from greater energy autonomy, by using a renewable energy source and reducing their consumption of energy from non-renewable sources.
The installation of solar photovoltaic panels with battery storage and back-up generator is an option that offers energy flexibility to residents, while contributing to the overall environmental sustainability of the project.
Energy consumption
The project’s villas have been designed with a passive approach to minimize energy consumption. Thanks to this intelligent design, the projected energy consumption of the villas is 30% lower than the international Earthcheck benchmark.
One of the key features of passive design is to reduce the need for air-conditioning in rooms. This is achieved through effective thermal insulation, natural ventilation, the use of energy-efficient materials and the optimal arrangement of openings to take advantage of natural light and air circulation.
In addition, all electrical appliances and equipment supplied with the villas must, as a minimum, be rated ‘Energy Star’ or A+ for their energy performance. This ensures that the equipment used in the villas is energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.
The aim is to create luxury villas that offer exceptional comfort while minimizing their environmental impact and reducing energy costs for residents.

Insulation and glazing
As part of this project, conventional concrete blocks will be replaced by Ecoblocks, helping to keep interior spaces cool and reduce the need for mechanized ventilation. Ecoblocks are designed to provide better thermal insulation, which will reduce heat transfer through the walls, contributing to improved thermal comfort and reduced energy consumption in the villa.
As far as roof insulation is concerned, 50 mm of rigid insulation will be added over flat slabs, and hemp-type insulating rolls will be installed on the underside of pitched roofs. This combination of insulation is designed to enhance the thermal efficiency of the roof, helping to maintain more stable temperatures inside the villa.
To promote cross-ventilation and natural lighting, the villas will feature large glazed openings, also offering panoramic views. High-performance, low-emissivity glazing will be used to minimize heat transfer through the windows, thus preserving the thermal efficiency of the interior. In addition to enhancing thermal insulation, these glazings will also prevent harmful UV rays from entering the villa, offering additional protection while improving the building’s overall energy efficiency.
All these architectural and design measures aim to optimize thermal comfort, reduce energy consumption and improve the overall energy efficiency of the villas, while offering bright interior spaces and panoramic views of the surrounding area.
Water consumption
The project’s villas have been designed to minimize their water consumption by aligning practices with EarthCheck’s international standards. This has been achieved by installing water-saving equipment and controls, and by treating and reusing wastewater.
Each villa will be equipped with a self-contained underground mini-water treatment plant, which will treat wastewater in compliance with irrigation quality standards. This will enable treated wastewater to be reused for irrigation purposes, helping to preserve water resources.
Water supply during construction will be ensured by a dedicated borehole and a seawater desalination plant, guaranteeing a continuous supply without relying solely on the main network.
To manage rainwater, the estate will be equipped with a network of vegetated and naturalized swales, as well as water retention basins. These elements will collect, filter and store rainwater, encouraging its infiltration into the ground and limiting the risk of flooding.
The aim is to set up a complete, integrated water management system, combining conservation, treatment and reuse, in order to reduce the water footprint of the villas and preserve water resources in the local environment.

Waste management
The villas have been designed to facilitate the sorting and storage of recyclable materials. Dedicated areas for sorting recyclable waste will be provided in each villa, enabling residents to easily separate recyclable materials such as paper, plastic and glass.
The estate manager will be responsible for the collection of recyclable waste throughout the estate, ensuring consistent and efficient management of these materials.
In addition, composting of kitchen and garden waste will be encouraged in every villa. Residents will be encouraged to create their own compost using organic waste generated in their homes, producing a natural soil improver for gardens.
For larger quantities of green waste from public landscaped areas and the golf course, a central composting area will be set up. Green waste will be collected and composted at this central location, and the compost produced will be reused throughout the estate to maintain landscaped areas, thus promoting a sustainable approach to waste management.
These sorting, recycling and composting initiatives aim to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill, promote responsible waste management and foster environmental sustainability throughout the estate.
A wild garden with natural beauty
Harmonie Golf & Beach Estate’s landscaping, a selection of plant species endemic to the Indian Ocean will be used to embellish the estate’s gardens and walkways. These include exotic names such as blackwood, tamarind, Creole agave, blue latana, birdwood and tecoma.
Extensive research was carried out to identify existing plant species on the site and maximize their use in landscaping. This approach minimizes the need for watering, as local species are better adapted to the climatic conditions of Mauritius.
In addition, the layout of the trees will be carefully planned to offer protection from prevailing winds and the afternoon sun, creating pleasant shaded areas and fostering a comfortable ambience in the outdoor spaces.
The aim is to create a landscaped environment that pays homage to the original nature of Mauritius, incorporating native plant species that bring beauty, diversity and an authentic connection with the local ecosystem. Harmonie Golf & Beach Estate aims to offer its residents and visitors an inspiring experience in the heart of an immense wild garden, where nature is highlighted and celebrated.
A major wetland at the heart of the project
Wetlands play a vital role in combating global warming and natural disasters by regulating the functioning of coastal ecosystems. They are among the most productive ecosystems on our planet. Thus, their good management is essential.
On the Harmonie Golf & Beach Estate site, a wetland area of 6 hectares has beeń identified. It is currently the subject of a project to restore its biodiversitý led́ by the Beachcomber and Semaris groups with environmental experts and under the supervision of the international Ramsar committeé. A comprehensive survey waś conducted́ in the field to analyze the conditions of this ecosystem. It advocated moving the wetland to give it a chance to thrive by restoring its biodiversitý to its original state.
15 species of native plants and at least 17 species of native fauna (insects, reptiles and birds) are present in and around the 6-hectare wetland, a high number for a coastal wetland in Mauritius.
The new wetland will be restored to provide good habitat for wading birds and shorebirds. Its flora will also provide an area of tranquility in the heart of nature. This wetland will provide a significant improvement in the biodiversity present and the ecological functions of the area through the planned restoration work.
