So many options...
In the north, there are several good options in Grand Baie, says Jonathan Tagg, project director, Pam Golding Properties (Mauritius). Much of what’s on offer is for sale off plan or already under construction.
“We seek out the most reliable development companies that offer safe investments in first-rate locations favoured by expats, thereby maximising future growth and rentability for our clients. There’s a fantastic window of opportunity to secure property in this location that blends the best of coastal and estate living. Properties such as Ki Resort, Ki Residences and Soleïa III Residences are a great entry point into the Mauritian market. They’re also ideal for couples who want an island getaway for a few months each year.”
According to Axelle Mazery, head of marketing, sales and communication, Compagnie de
Mont Choisy, strong ownership rights favour foreign investment in property in Mauritius, which has one of the best-administered economies in the world.
“Investing in Mont Choisy Golf & Beach Estate, an exclusive 375ha development that includes the acclaimed Mont Choisy Le Parc, is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Location advantages include proximity to Le Boulevard in the Mont Choisy Smart City precinct, which enables access to more lifestyle, health, entertainment and outdoor facilities, and a leisure centre incorporating tennis and paddle tennis courts, a children’s play area, a gym, a sauna and a hammam opening in 2021. There are also running and horse-riding tracks in the estate forest. Where better to reinvent your life?”
Says Rinie Boshoff, real estate consultant, 2Futures, “Now is your chance to own a two-bedroom penthouse with a pool and a pergola on a rooftop terrace at Ki Resort in Pereybere. Ki Resort is the only cosmopolitan resort-style living environment in the north that’s within the budget for permanent residency.
“Here you will also enjoy the type of services you’d get at an upmarket hotel and exclusive access to a stylish beach club. Even better: you can pay for your new home via a payment plan over two-and-a-half years. Pay 25% when you sign the title deed, another 15% in a year’s time, and the remaining 60% by the end of the period in 2022.”
The east
The east coast of Mauritius has preserved an authentic rural character and Anahita Mauritius sits perfectly in this environment, says Alexandre Gellé, head of sales, Alteo Properties. “Our gated residential estate unfolds across 213ha of tropical gardens along 6km of coastline beside the widest lagoon on the island. More than 250 families have invested in Anahita over the past 10 years and enjoy our unique lifestyle: an 18-hole golf course designed by Ernie Els, two five-star resorts, an exclusive beach on Ile aux Cerfs, fine services and activities, and the surrounding natural environment to explore.”
You and your immediate family are automatically granted a residence permit upon purchasing property within Anahita. “We have a range of two- to three-bedroom freehold apartments with sea or golf views from R11,9m, three-bedroom semidetached villas along the golf course from R18,6m, as well as new off-plan villas from R18,4m. These are wonderful opportunities to live in the heart of an established estate developed by a reputed promoter that has generated a 25% yield on average upon resale after three years,” Gellé says.
One&Only Le Saint Géran is a legendary resort, established more than 40 years ago on a private peninsula in Mauritius. This is the first development of private homes to be launched by One&Only. The 52 private villas are the only freehold properties with direct access to a pristine sandy beach, and buyers qualify for permanent residency. These two- to six-bedroom homes are available in a choice of five designs and two distinct styles.
“The infrastructure work, entrance and back-of-house are complete and the show home (Villa 26) was delivered in December last year. Building on the rest of the homes will start once we have achieved our financial threshold by May next year. Construction is estimated to take 24 months, with an intended delivery of the first villas by end 2022,” says Hugues Jannet, director, One&Only Private Homes at Le Saint Géran.
