On the west coast of Mauritius, at the foot of La Tourelle mountain, Eko Savannah offers a unique residential concept combining private villas, premium services, and a preserved natural setting.
Developed across a landscaped 8-hectare estate, this real estate project brings together 47 villas with private pools, a fully equipped clubhouse, dining areas, and a concierge service inspired by the standards of upscale hospitality.
Designed by MJ Développement Maurice, Eko Savannah is aimed at buyers looking to relocate to Mauritius, purchase a second home, or make a property investment on the island’s west coast.
The resort features 6 villa designs, each with a heated infinity pool, a private tropical garden, and terraces opening onto the mountain landscape. The overall masterplan was created by the Mauritian firm Jean Marc Eynaud Architects, a renowned specialist in tropical architecture.
Interior design, meanwhile, bears the signature of French interior designers Jean-Michel and Sophie Remazeilles: raw concrete, noble woods, and a palette of ochres and verdant tones create an atmosphere that could be summed up in two words: “wild and chill.”
Designed as intimate cocoons, Hibiscus villas offer 269 to 271 m² of living space on plots of 849 m² and above, with a 35 to 43 m² pool. A generous terrace, landscaped garden, and interiors that open onto the outdoors complete this model, which is an excellent entry point for a real estate investment in Tamarin, combining residential comfort with rental potential.
With expansive glazing to capture light and views, Clusia villas provide 301 to 374 m² of living space on plots of 900 m² and above, with a 45 to 50 m² pool. Large interior picture windows naturally extend the space onto the terrace and garden.
A one-of-a-kind design, the Vacoa villa stands out for its especially generous living volumes: 356 m² on a 1,228 m² plot, complemented by a 50 m² pool. Its layout encourages seamless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces, in a deliberately serene spirit.
With 490 m² of living space, a 1,604 m² plot, and a 57 m² pool, the Allamanda villa takes scale to the next level. Its 5 en-suite bedrooms, multiple terraces, and substantial garden make it a home designed for families or buyers seeking very large spaces.
The Latanier villa raises the bar even further: 506 m² of living space, a plot of up to 1,690 m², and a 76 m² pool, the largest in the development.
A garage, outdoor kiosk, and generous entertaining areas make it a true residential property, designed for conviviality and sharing.
At the top of the range, the Acacia villa combines 566 m² of living space, a 1,874 m² plot, and a 73 m² pool. The addition of a dedicated office meets the needs of buyers who work remotely or want a professional space within their residence.
Eko Savannah, a real estate development in Tamarin, stands out for a service ecosystem rarely found in a residential project in Mauritius. The clubhouse, the beating heart of the estate, brings together several complementary spaces:
The Savory: a bistronomic restaurant focused on local produce and open-fire cooking, complemented by a world wine cellar and a Sunday brunch.
Le Maidaan: a poolside cocktail bar serving tapas, ceviches, and bowls, with regular music and artistic events.
25-meter swimming pool: with a sun-lounger club by reservation.
Fitness club: fully equipped, with the option of private coaching.
W.I.M (Work In Mauritius): a connected business center with private offices, coworking space, video-conferencing equipment, and a meeting room—designed for mobile professionals and digital nomads.
Kids’ area: with dedicated activities, especially on Wednesdays.
Events calendar: acoustic concerts, exhibitions, art evenings.
M.J. Développement’s view: the breadth of services offered at Eko Savannah directly boosts the estate’s rental appeal.
An active clubhouse, workspaces, and a partner beach club increase the project’s appeal to high-end travelers, helping to support long-term value growth.
Eko Savannah makes sustainability one of its founding pillars:
Eco-design: solar water heaters; optimized airflow and daylighting to promote natural ventilation
Waste sorting: an on-site collection and processing system within the villas and shared areas
Eco-responsible garden: a short-supply-chain kitchen garden to provide fresh produce for the restaurant; vegetation suited to the local natural environment
Ethical concierge service: a traveler’s charter to raise awareness among residents and tenants about respecting the environment
This approach reflects a strong conviction within the MJ Développement group: residential luxury can be part of a responsible, environmentally respectful approach.
Eko Savannah is built around a flexible investment model that allows owners to combine personal use and rental value creation. Buyers can enjoy their villa at certain times of the year, while entrusting it to a rental program when they are not in residence.
This management is handled by MJ Holidays, a subsidiary of the MJ Développement group specializing in the operation and property management of residential resorts in Mauritius. The team takes care of all operational aspects: welcoming tenants, technical upkeep of the villas, pool and garden maintenance, and the day-to-day management of the estate.
This model enables owners to benefit from end-to-end support, from purchase through long-term management. Depending on the period of personal occupancy, gross rental returns can reach around 5.5% per year, an attractive level of performance for a property investment on Mauritius’ west coast.
As Michaël Ruel, President of the MJ Développement Group, notes: “Eko Savannah is designed as a true place to live, vibrant all year round, where owners find both a privileged lifestyle and a sustainable investment opportunity.”
Our Tamarin team is always happy to share its local gems with every resident. Start with the Tamarin Salt Pans, just a stone’s throw from Eko Savannah: these artisanal basins where salt crystallizes in the sun offer a scene that is as photogenic as it is little known. Tamarin Beach, reachable in just a few minutes, remains one of Mauritius’ most renowned surf spots, and its sunsets over the bay alone are worth the detour.
Further south, La Preneuse reveals a calm shoreline facing Le Morne Brabant, whose ascent rewards hikers with a UNESCO World Heritage-listed panorama. To extend the exploration, head to Chamarel: the Seven Coloured Earth, the waterfall, and the rum distillery naturally follow one another over half a day. Thrill-seekers will find plenty to enjoy, from kitesurfing at the foot of Le Morne to catamaran outings to Île aux Bénitiers.
