Mont Choisy sits on the northern Mauritius coast between Trou aux Biches and Grand Baie, anchored by the Mont Choisy Le Parc PDS estate and the eponymous 3 km lagoon beach. Fine Luxury Property advises international buyers on beachfront villas, golf residences and apartments across this established luxury corridor.
Detached three-to-five bedroom villas inside Mont Choisy Le Parc and adjoining gated estates, typically with private pools, tropical gardens and direct or walking-distance access to Mont Choisy beach, priced from USD 1.8 million to USD 7 million.
Fairway-facing villas and townhouses on the Mont Choisy Le Parc 9-hole golf course, from three-bedroom linked homes at USD 800,000 to frontline trophy villas above USD 4 million, all eligible under the Property Development Scheme (PDS) for foreign ownership.
Two-to-three bedroom PDS apartments with shared pools and concierge across Mont Choisy and Grand Baie, typically USD 450,000 to USD 1.5 million, popular with retirees, rental investors and Golden Visa / residency seekers priced in below the villa segment.
A small number of trophy beachfront estates along the Mont Choisy-Pointe aux Canonniers strip, with larger land parcels, staff quarters, private boat moorings and full PDS eligibility, typically transacting above USD 6 million when available.
Fine Luxury Property operates as a boutique real estate agency and brokerage across the northern Mauritius coast, with specific depth on Mont Choisy, Grand Baie, Pointe aux Canonniers and Trou aux Biches. Our advisors work in English and French, the official business languages of Mauritius, and coordinate Property Development Scheme (PDS) and Integrated Resort Scheme (IRS) acquisitions, Economic Development Board approval, registration duty and residency applications for international buyers.
Purchases inside a registered PDS or IRS development of USD 375,000 or more entitle the buyer and dependent family to Mauritius permanent residency for as long as they own the asset. Mont Choisy Le Parc is one of the most established PDS estates and a core corridor for residency-linked acquisitions.
Mont Choisy's 3 km lagoon beach is regarded as one of the finest in northern Mauritius, with shallow turquoise water, casuarina-shaded grounds and year-round safe swimming inside the reef. Frontline and walking-distance villas command meaningful premiums reflecting this scarcity.
Mont Choisy Le Parc is a mature master-planned PDS estate with a 9-hole golf course, beach club, spa, co-working hub and layered villa, townhouse and apartment product, offering one of the deepest pools of qualifying residency-linked stock on the north coast.
Mont Choisy sits between Grand Baie's restaurants, marina and ferry departures to the north and Pointe aux Canonniers and Trou aux Biches to the south, forming the island's most established year-round luxury corridor, with full year-round occupancy and primary-residence viability for retirees.
Foreign buyers in Mauritius transact through regulated schemes, principally the Property Development Scheme (PDS), the older Integrated Resort Scheme (IRS), Smart City Scheme (SCS) and Real Estate Scheme (RES). We brief clients on which schemes qualify for residency, current thresholds and how Mont Choisy stock sits within them.
Once the scheme and budget are mapped, we shortlist qualifying villas, golf residences or apartments in Mont Choisy Le Parc and adjoining estates. A reservation agreement, typically with a 5% deposit held in escrow, takes the property off the market while legal and EDB due diligence run in parallel.
All foreign acquisitions under PDS/IRS require Economic Development Board of Mauritius (EDB) approval, following due-diligence checks on source of funds and the buyer's background. Approval typically takes 4-8 weeks. Our legal partners coordinate the full EDB dossier and liaise with the Registrar General.
The final deed is signed before a Mauritian notaire, with the buyer settling 5% registration duty and 5% land transfer tax for foreign buyers, plus notary fees of roughly 1-1.5%. For USD 375,000+ qualifying acquisitions, the residency application is filed in parallel once the title is registered with the Registrar General.
Once the title is registered and EDB has confirmed qualifying status, the Passport and Immigration Office issues the permanent residency card to the buyer and qualifying dependants (spouse, children under 24, dependent parents). Residency is linked to continued ownership of the qualifying Mauritian real estate asset.
Mont Choisy is one of the most mature luxury PDS corridors on the Mauritian north coast, with deep secondary-market liquidity, layered villa-townhouse-apartment product and a proven operator in Mont Choisy Le Parc, materially reducing the execution risk inherent in newer or more speculative emerging Mauritian estates.
The scheme entitles buyers of qualifying PDS or IRS property at USD 375,000 or more to permanent residency for themselves and dependent family, for as long as they own the asset. Mauritius itself offers 0% inheritance tax, 15% flat income tax and no capital gains tax on property, an unusually efficient tax framework.
Mauritius ranks consistently as one of the top African and Indian Ocean retirement destinations, with English and French as official languages, reliable private healthcare through clinics such as Apollo Bramwell and Wellkin, political stability and year-round tropical climate between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius.
The northern lagoon coast has very limited remaining frontline development capacity, and Environmental Impact Assessment rules tightly restrict new beach-side projects. Existing Mont Choisy beachfront and golf-frontline stock benefits from a structural supply ceiling that underpins prime pricing resilience.
A PDS beachfront villa in Mont Choisy typically costs USD 2.5-7 million, or USD 5,500-9,500 per square metre of built area depending on plot size and frontline proximity. Golf-facing villas in Mont Choisy Le Parc run USD 4,500-7,500 per square metre. PDS apartments with shared pool and concierge sit at USD 3,800-6,000 per square metre, from USD 450,000 entry tickets. Trophy private estates along the Mont Choisy-Pointe aux Canonniers strip transact above USD 6 million.
Foreign buyers acquire Mauritian property through regulated schemes, principally the Property Development Scheme (PDS), the older Integrated Resort Scheme (IRS), Smart City Scheme (SCS) and Real Estate Scheme (RES). Mont Choisy Le Parc is a PDS estate. Acquisitions require Economic Development Board (EDB) approval, with due-diligence checks on source of funds, typically 4-8 weeks. Qualifying purchases above USD 375,000 additionally unlock permanent residency for the buyer and dependent family.
Yes, Mont Choisy is one of the most established retirement destinations in Mauritius. It combines year-round 20-30 degree climate, English and French as official business languages, reliable private healthcare through clinics such as Apollo Bramwell and Wellkin, a well-developed Grand Baie restaurant and social scene five minutes away and the 3 km Mont Choisy lagoon beach. PDS permanent residency is available to buyers acquiring qualifying property at USD 375,000 or more, providing a long-term framework for retirement relocation.
Mont Choisy sits on the north-west coast of Mauritius, within the Pamplemousses district, between Trou aux Biches to the south and Grand Baie to the north. The village fronts the 3 km Mont Choisy lagoon beach and is anchored inland by the Mont Choisy Le Parc PDS estate and its 9-hole golf course. Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport is roughly 75 minutes' drive south; the capital Port Louis is 20 minutes south along the A1 coast road.
Foreign buyers pay 5% registration duty and 5% land transfer tax on acquisition, plus notaire fees of roughly 1-1.5%. There is no capital gains tax on Mauritian real estate, no wealth tax and no inheritance tax. Annual municipal land tax is modest, typically USD 200-800 for a prime villa. Rental income is subject to 15% flat income tax for tax residents; non-residents are taxed on Mauritian-source income under applicable double-tax treaties. The framework is unusually efficient by global standards.
Beachfront villa peak-season short-lets typically deliver 4-6% gross yields, supported by a year-round tropical climate and strong October-April European demand. Golf-facing villa long-lets run 3.5-5% gross. PDS apartments achieve 5-7% gross on short-let, particularly when operated through the resort's rental management programme. Long-let corporate and retiree tenancies reach 4-5% gross. Net yields land 150-250 bps below gross after management, pool and garden service and community fees.
Yes, if the purchase is inside a qualifying PDS, IRS, SCS or RES scheme and the price is at least USD 375,000. Qualifying buyers and dependants (spouse, children under 24, dependent parents) receive permanent residency for as long as they own the qualifying Mauritian asset. The residency is granted by the Passport and Immigration Office following Economic Development Board approval of the purchase and registration of the title. Mont Choisy Le Parc is a mature PDS estate and a core corridor for this route.
Yes. Mauritian luxury transactions run through EDB-regulated schemes, notaire deed practice and specific foreign-buyer rules, all of which require local representation.
