For many years, Mauritius has been known as a world-class holiday destination. Today, it is increasingly attracting international buyers looking to acquire a second home, diversify their property portfolio, plan for retirement or embrace a new lifestyle abroad.

While its tropical climate and spectacular landscapes naturally contribute to its appeal, Mauritius also stands out for its political stability, modern infrastructure and strong international connectivity, making it an increasingly attractive destination for long-term real estate investment.

An island designed for year-round living

Mauritius offers far more than an exceptional setting.

The island is home to international schools and universities, a highly regarded private healthcare system, and excellent direct air connections with Europe. These advantages make it equally attractive for those seeking a permanent residence or a second home while remaining closely connected to Europe.

Its economy is among the strongest in Africa, and its stable political environment provides additional reassurance for those considering a long-term personal or investment project.

Can French nationals purchase property in Mauritius?

Contrary to common misconceptions, foreign buyers can purchase property in Mauritius through several government-approved real estate schemes designed specifically for international investors. Depending on the programme, purchasing a property may also provide eligibility for a residence permit.

French buyers are now among the leading foreign nationalities investing in Mauritian real estate, reflecting the growing interest in the island as an investment destination.

The various acquisition schemes, eligibility requirements and opportunities available to French buyers will be presented in detail during our event.

A market that meets a wide range of objectives

Investing in Mauritius can serve many different purposes.

For some, it is about acquiring a second home to enjoy the island throughout the year. For others, it is an opportunity to diversify their assets, prepare for retirement or consider an international relocation.

Today, the Mauritian property market offers a wide range of opportunities, from contemporary apartments to luxury villas located within prestigious private estates or along the coastline, allowing buyers to find a property suited to their individual ambitions.

An evening to answer your questions

Purchasing property abroad naturally raises many questions. What are the acquisition requirements? Which areas are currently the most sought-after? How does the residence permit process work? What are the key advantages of investing in Mauritius?

To answer these questions, Annecy Sotheby's International Realty will welcome the teams from Mauritius Sotheby's International Realty on Wednesday, September 30, 2026, at Hôtel Les Trésoms in Annecy.

The presentation will be followed by a cocktail reception, offering the perfect opportunity to continue the conversation with our specialists in an informal setting.
