Hello ThomoTrio and welcome to Expat.com

There is a large https://www.expat.community here! Most of the expats in Mauritius are based either up North( around Grand Baie) or South West coast (Tamarin and Flic en Flac), but you can also find others around Blue Bay, Albion etc.

There are facebook pages dedicated to expats mums living in the north of the island. 

I invite you also to browse the Mauritius Forum so as to gather as much info and maybe get some contacts of expats already living here.

The Living in Mauritius Guide may also prove helpful.


Best Regards

Dear

it's better you check places nearer  to your working place.  For Expat people, you can check TAMARIN, FLIC EN FLAC OR the north Trou aux biches, Grand baie etc.

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 community is also a lot larger in Dubai (I would fathom a guess of +500,000 people) and once you get bored of Dubai (like you will get bored of Mauritius), you can find cheap(er) holidays for anywhere from Egypt to Greece.

Dubai also has 0% income tax whereas Mauritius has 15%.

You may prefer the island life, but there are a lot more opportunities (and jobs) in Dubai than Mauritius.
