NOTARY IN THE NORTH by GuestPoster04023
Hi any recommendations for a Notary in the North?
There aren't any notaries in the north according to a few people I've asked.The closest I've seen for notaries is in Port Louis, where most are. Read More
Gluten-free products in the North by rushikay
Hello,I am looking for gluten-free baked goods in the north around Grand Baie/Mon Choisy/Trou Biches / Triolet.I know SuperU sells some gluten-free stuff, but it isn't so 'fresh', so any bakeries or suppliers (even online) will be appreciated.
Hello. I created an online list of places in Mauritius that offer gluten free products. I'll message you the list. -@imsierram00Hi Sierra,I think you should share your blog link here. It isn't self-promotion and will help any future visitors find ... Read More

Beach sports (soccer, volleyball, etc.): are they common in Mauritius? by rushikay
Hello everyone.I've been in Mauritius a bit and I've noticed that beach sport activities are not very common (in the North).I'd like to play or even start a club for people to play these sports, but I am not sure if there is any interest in such a ...
@Bhavna Thanks for the quick reply Bhavna.I've asked a few Mauritian friends and they don't even know what volleyball is I am surprised because volleyball is usually popular on holiday islands similar to Mauritius. Read More

Long term car rental by georgieandboy
Hi everyone Can anyone tell me (roughly) how much a 4 door sedan long term rental would cost? On average of course. We are looking for a one year rental. Any idea if it would be better to buy than rent? We really appreciate any advice in this ...
In my time spent on the island, I never came across any agencies that do long-term leasing of cars. You can try negotiating with a regular agency, but they will just drop their rates by maybe 10/20%, which will still be horrendously ... Read More
Grand Baie beach clubs by Smasson
Hi. We are American and looking to belong to a beach club in Grand Baie. We have a 2 y.o. daughter. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thank you, Sara
Can you explain more by what you mean when referring to "beach club"? Something like a watersports-activity club? Read More
scooter rental in Mauritius by dana4073
Hi there Can someone please help me find a good company for scooter rental in Mauritius? Thank you
I second what ijulien said. Rentals go for between Rs.400-800 per day, whereas you could buy a brand new scooter for around Rs.45000+ (this is the quality makes, as you get the cheaper 'bike' options as well). That being said, I ... Read More
Internet in Tamarin area by AafkeG
Hello, I know there are more threads about it, but couldn't find anything specific for this area. We are thinking about coming over to Mauritius for 6 months for kitesurfing. I work online so I need reliable internet with a decent speed. We ...
There should be fibre down there in Tamarin too. The average, affordable internet speed is about 10MB/s and you can package it with television. Check out something called "MyT" from Orange. Also, I'm not too sure Tamarin has good ... Read More
Studying. Working. by SarahCourtis
Hi there, I am currently studying in Mauritius and have a student/residence visa which will expire in 2018, although once I have completed my studies I would like to continue staying in Mauritius and find a job here. Is this possible and if so what ...
If i recall correctly (from past info I've read), as long as you get an approved job (I assume it will also need to be over 40/60K rupees per month to meet the minimum-foreigner-salary requirement), you will then need to apply for a work-permit, ... Read More
Possibility of moving over by ThomoTrio
Hi everyone, myself (35), husband and daughter of two are coming over to look into moving in May as a permanent relocation. We are going to rent a home and then my husband shall look at work (accountant and company secretary) then we shall take it ...
If you genuinely have the option of Dubai vs. Mauritius, choosing Dubai will always be a better option. I say this simply because Mauritius is a small island in the Indian ocean, whereas Dubai is close to Europe, Africa and Asia. The expat ... Read More
Crime by Karin Staples
Does Mauritius have a problem with crime? I would presume certain areas are safer than others? What has been your experience?
There has been a spate of robberies in Pereybere /Grand Baie area where people have had their bags stolen by guys on motor bikes in the past week, including a French tourist who was injured in Pereybere.Wow!!! I was not aware of this. Where can ... Read More
Crime by Karin Staples
Does Mauritius have a problem with crime? I would presume certain areas are safer than others? What has been your experience?
It seems relatively safe everywhere (in the North). You can even take walks at night, but then your concern becomes these insane dogs that loiter everywhere. With South African paranoia about crime, I think if you tone it down by about 50%, you ... Read More
