- The North – Grand Baie, Pereybère, Mont Choisy
Lifestyle: dynamic, international, and seaside
The North remains the liveliest and most cosmopolitan area of Mauritius. This is where the heart of modern island life beats: gourmet restaurants, lively beaches, shopping centers, cafes, international schools, and marinas. Grand Baie, a charming coastal town, offers everything a family or expatriate could wish for: safety, amenities, services, and a friendly atmosphere.
Residents enjoy an active and social lifestyle. Days often begin with a jog on the beach, continue in a modern office or coworking space, and end with dinner overlooking the sea. Pereybère attracts those seeking more peace and quiet without straying too far from amenities. Mont Choisy, meanwhile, stands out as an elegant residential enclave, with its golf course, flower-lined avenues, and luxury residences.
Rents there are among the highest in the country, but demand remains steady for modern, well-located, tastefully furnished properties. To explore long-term rentals currently available in the North, visit the Westimmo page:
- The West – Tamarin, Black River, Flic en Flac
Lifestyle: nature, comfort, and relaxed elegance
The West Coast symbolizes the perfect balance between nature and modernity. It is a region bathed in sunshine all year round, with a dry climate, golden beaches, spectacular mountains, and breathtaking sunsets.
Tamarin and Rivière Noire attract a discerning clientele who value quality of life. The locals cultivate a “barefoot luxury” mentality, a simple, natural, and authentic form of luxury. Families appreciate the proximity to international schools and sports clubs, while entrepreneurs and remote workers enjoy a peaceful atmosphere that allows them to combine work and leisure.
Contemporary villas with swimming pools, penthouses overlooking the lagoon, and houses nestled in secure developments make up the majority of the offering. The more affordable Flic en Flac attracts young, active, and dynamic people looking to live near the beach in a friendly and lively environment.
The West appeals to those seeking a balanced lifestyle close to nature, between the mountains and the ocean. Surfing, hiking, golf, or yoga at sunset: here, every day has a taste of freedom.
- The East – Belle Mare, Beau Champ, Trou d’Eau Douce, Pointe d’Esny
Lifestyle: refinement, discretion, and harmony with nature
The east of Mauritius is a region of tranquility and prestige. The landscapes are sublime: pristine beaches, translucent lagoons, palm trees, and lush vegetation. It is an ideal area for those seeking a peaceful and exclusive living environment, far from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Belle Mare and Trou d’Eau Douce captivate visitors with their understated charm and long beaches lined with coconut trees. The Beau Champ area, surrounding the Anahita estate, attracts a wealthy clientele seeking spacious villas with golf, spa, concierge, and hotel services. Pointe d’Esny and Mahébourg, more authentic, offer a local and soothing atmosphere, ideal for families, retirees, or nature lovers.
The East embodies quiet luxury. Rental properties are rare but of very high quality, often located within private resorts or secure residences. To discover properties available for rent in this unspoiled region, visit: https:
- The South – Bel Ombre, Cap Bay, Saint Felix
Lifestyle: wild, inspiring, and connected to nature
The south is the most unspoiled and authentic part of Mauritius. Here, nature reigns supreme: cliffs, forests, waterfalls, wild beaches, and crystal-clear lagoons. It is a region that attracts lovers of tranquility, space, and natural surroundings.
Bel Ombre is the pearl of the South. There are superb residential developments integrated into the natural environment, such as Heritage Villas Valriche, where the villas overlook the golf course and the ocean. This is the preferred area for residents seeking an exclusive and peaceful setting.
Baie du Cap and Saint Félix appeal to lovers of spectacular scenery and seaside living far from the hustle and bustle. The pace is slower, the days are milder, perfect for a contemplative and inspiring lifestyle. Long-term rentals are rarer here, but offer attractive value for money for those seeking peace and quiet.
Living in the South means choosing peace, nature, and a life focused on what truly matters.
- The Centrer – Moka, Floréal, Vacoas, Ebene
Style de vie : urbain, pratique et familial
The Center is the economic and residential heart of the island. With its international schools, modern clinics, business districts, and shops, it attracts a stable and loyal clientele. Moka and Ebene are the most dynamic areas, popular with executives and entrepreneurs.
Floréal and Vacoas offer a more residential and green setting, with a cooler climate, ideal for families or people seeking everyday comfort. Far from the noise of the coast, life here is peaceful, surrounded by greenery, yet close to everything.
Rents are often more affordable than in coastal areas, for spacious and highly functional properties. The Center is designed for those who want to combine practicality, comfort, and stability throughout the year.
