For luxury properties available to non-residents, prices can rise beyond \u20ac10,000 per square metre.<\/p>\n<p>This variation depends on <strong>3 main factors<\/strong>: the type of property (apartment, villa, house), its location, and the chosen acquisition scheme.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the typical price ranges by property type:<\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #000; padding: 10px;\"><strong>Property Type<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #000; padding: 10px;\"><strong>Price Range per Square Metre<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #000; padding: 10px;\">Apartment in a secure residence (2 or 3 bedrooms)<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #000; padding: 10px;\">\u20ac2,500 to \u20ac4,500<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #000; padding: 10px;\">Townhouse on the open market<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #000; padding: 10px;\">\u20ac1,800 to \u20ac3,500<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #000; padding: 10px;\">Luxury villa with pool and garden (3 to 4 bedrooms)<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #000; padding: 10px;\">From \u20ac6,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #000; padding: 10px;\">Luxury lagoon-front properties (4 bedrooms and more)<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #000; padding: 10px;\">\u20ac8,000 to \u20ac12,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #000; padding: 10px;\">Building land<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #000; padding: 10px;\">\u20ac200 to \u20ac1,500<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Regarding purchase schemes, the gap becomes even more significant. Foreign investors must purchase through an <strong>approved scheme<\/strong>: Integrated Resort Scheme (IRS), Real Estate Scheme (RES), Property Development Scheme (PDS), or G+2 apartment developments.<\/p>\n<p>These programmes require a minimum investment of <strong>USD 375,000<\/strong> (approximately \u20ac350,000) to qualify for <strong>permanent residency<\/strong>. The open market, reserved for Mauritian citizens, offers apartments and houses at significantly lower prices, sometimes at half the cost.<\/p>\n<h2>How Do Prices Vary by Region?<\/h2>\n<p>In Mauritius, property prices <strong>vary considerably<\/strong> from one region to another. In some cases, prices can quadruple over relatively short distances.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3 factors<\/strong> explain this segmentation: geography, infrastructure quality, and tourism demand.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the typical price ranges:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>On the west coast<\/strong>, around Black River, Tamarin, and Flic en Flac, luxury villas and premium properties often exceed <strong>\u20ac6,000 per m\u00b2<\/strong>. This coastal region is highly sought after by expatriates looking for a premium lifestyle.<\/li>\n<li><strong>In the north<\/strong>, in areas such as Grand Baie and Pereyb\u00e8re, apartments in residential developments typically range <strong>between \u20ac3,500 and \u20ac5,500 per m\u00b2<\/strong>. The area is popular for its nightlife, shopping, and family-friendly beaches.<\/li>\n<li><strong>On the east coast<\/strong>, in Belle Mare, high-end developments range <strong>between \u20ac4,000 and \u20ac5,000 per m\u00b2<\/strong>, offering a quieter and more preserved lifestyle.<\/li>\n<li><strong>In central Mauritius<\/strong>, smart cities such as Moka and Eb\u00e8ne, located on the central plateau, concentrate much of the business activity, with prices ranging <strong>from \u20ac2,500 to \u20ac4,500 per m\u00b2<\/strong>. Properties here tend to have a more urban character and are close to international schools.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Inland<\/strong>, areas such as Curepipe and Quatre-Bornes offer more affordable open-market properties, <strong>around \u20ac1,500 to \u20ac3,000 per m\u00b2<\/strong>, particularly for family homes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Beyond these key areas, the development of Smart Cities such as Beau Plan, Cap Tamarin, and Mon Tr\u00e9sor is creating new<a href=\"https:\/\/mj-developpement.mu\/en\/investir\/\"> property investment opportunities in Mauritius<\/a>, combining residential units, offices, and services. Depending on the location, the price difference between an apartment and a house can vary from one to three times for similar features.<\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2470 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/mj-developpement.mu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/prix-immobilier-ile-maurice.webp\" alt=\"Prix de l'immobilier \u00e0 l'\u00eele Maurice\" width=\"1485\" height=\"1059\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mj-developpement.mu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/prix-immobilier-ile-maurice.webp 1485w, https:\/\/mj-developpement.mu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/prix-immobilier-ile-maurice-300x214.webp 300w, https:\/\/mj-developpement.mu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/prix-immobilier-ile-maurice-1024x730.webp 1024w, https:\/\/mj-developpement.mu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/prix-immobilier-ile-maurice-768x548.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1485px) 100vw, 1485px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2>What Are the Current Trends in the Mauritian Property Market?<\/h2>\n<p>The Mauritian property market is experiencing <strong>strong momentum<\/strong>, driven by foreign investors and a diversification of the available property offer. Prices continue to rise steadily in the premium segment, while growth remains more moderate in the local market. Several factors shape this trend.<\/p>\n<h3>Strong Foreign Demand Driven by European Buyers<\/h3>\n<p>Foreign demand, particularly from French and South African buyers, <strong>is driving prices upward<\/strong> in IRS and PDS developments, where prices frequently exceed \u20ac4,000 per m\u00b2 and can reach \u20ac10,000 for exceptional properties. Buyers from cities such as Paris, Lyon, and Marseille account for a significant share of international transactions in Mauritius, mechanically pushing property prices higher in the island\u2019s most desirable areas.<\/p>\n<h3>A More Diversified Property Offer<\/h3>\n<p>At the same time, the market is diversifying with the rise of <strong>serviced residences<\/strong>, <strong>off-plan developments<\/strong> (VEFA \u2013 Vente en l\u2019\u00c9tat Futur d\u2019Ach\u00e8vement), and <strong>heritage properties requiring renovation<\/strong>. G+2 apartments, priced between \u20ac200,000 and \u20ac400,000, are becoming increasingly popular among first-time European investors. In the ultra-luxury segment, some properties sell for several million euros, especially five-bedroom beachfront villas with direct beach access.<\/p>\n<h3>An Attractive Tax Environment for Expatriates<\/h3>\n<p>Mauritius\u2019 tax system further enhances the island\u2019s appeal and naturally improves the profitability of property investments. Income tax is capped at 15%, and there is no inheritance tax: <strong>two major tax advantages<\/strong> that reduce the overall cost of acquisition for expatriates.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the Mauritian tax framework, more flexible than that of France, operates within a stable bilingual legal environment (English and French). This attracts a wide range of profiles, from European retirees to business owners planning to relocate from France, often with budgets above the average local market price.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Successfully Invest in Property in Mauritius at the Right Price<\/h2>\n<p>Beyond the average price per square metre, successfully purchasing property in Mauritius requires a structured approach.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the key steps to <strong>assess fair value<\/strong> and secure your project:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Define your investment objective<\/strong>: primary residence, rental investment, or holiday rental \u2013 each goal influences the choice of property, neighbourhood, and therefore the budget required. Since <strong>property prices in Mauritius<\/strong> vary greatly depending on the area, clarifying your objective beforehand is essential.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Choose the right acquisition scheme<\/strong>: the PDS grants permanent residency from a USD 375,000 investment. IRS and RES target high-end integrated resorts. By contrast, G+2 developments remain the most affordable option (from \u20ac200,000) for apartment ownership, particularly suited to first-time French buyers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Anticipate additional costs<\/strong>: beyond the advertised purchase price, you should budget for 5% registration duties, 1 to 1.5% notary fees, monthly co-ownership fees ranging from \u20ac50 to \u20ac200 depending on the residence and number of bedrooms, as well as annual property tax to include in your profitability calculations.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Work with a local real estate agency<\/strong>: a professional established in Mauritius can help you assess the fair price per m\u00b2 based on the area, avoid common pitfalls, and align your project with your wealth management strategy, from legal matters to administrative follow-up.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Compare several opportunities before signing<\/strong>: new apartments, lagoon-front villas, or traditional houses to renovate in coastal villages \u2013 each property type offers distinct advantages. A precise analysis of price per m\u00b2, number of bedrooms, land value, and rental potential allows for meaningful comparisons.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><i>\u201cIn Mauritius, the right price is rarely measured by square metres alone. The chosen scheme, quality of management, and location are just as important. Our role is to support each project over the long term, from selecting the right development to final delivery, with advice tailored to every French or European investor profile.\u201d<\/i> \u2013 The MJ D\u00e9veloppement Team<\/p>\n<p>Would you like to better understand <strong>property prices in Mauritius<\/strong> and secure every stage of your purchase project?
