Mauritius imposes no capital gains tax on property held by individuals, no inheritance tax and no wealth tax. Rental income is taxed at a flat 15% and the country has an extensive double-tax treaty network covering the UK, France, South Africa, Germany and India, making the island structurally tax-efficient for international owners.
Property investment of USD 375,000 or more in an IRS, PDS, Smart City or IHS scheme grants the buyer, spouse and dependent children permanent residency for as long as the property is held, with an option to apply for Mauritian citizenship after legal residence. This is one of the fastest residency-by-real-estate routes globally.
Mauritius ranks consistently as a top retirement destination for European and South African buyers, combining year-round 24-30°C climate, English- and French-speaking administration, high-grade private healthcare in Wellkin and Fortis Darné clinics and direct long-haul flights to Paris, London, Johannesburg and Dubai.
The east coast (Belle Mare, Beau Champ) offers white-sand lagoons and the island's flagship five-star hotels. The west coast (Tamarin, Black River, Flic en Flac) delivers dolphins, kite-surfing and dramatic mountain backdrops. The north (Grand Baie, Mont Choisy) is the nightlife and marina hub. The south-west (Bel Ombre) is UNESCO biosphere countryside.
