The Premium Visa is valid for a period of one year and is renewable.
A premium visa is required for those who intend to stay in Mauritius for a period exceeding 180 days in a calendar year. Those staying for less than180 days, a tourist visa is granted on arrival to Mauritius.
FWIW: On the EDB. site:
A foreign national staying in Mauritius under a Premium Visa may apply for an Occupation Permit if he intends to work or invest in Mauritius or a Residence Permit as a retired non-citizen.
The word may implies a lot AFAIK wrt the civil servants at EDB ! 
This says it all:
to any non-citizen who intends to stay in Mauritius for a maximum period of one year as a tourist, retiree or a professional willing to come with his/her family and carry out his business or work remotely from Mauritius.
Tourist more than the 6 months Tourist visa
Retiree who wants to spend more that 6 months on the island for whatever reasons
Professional : guess it is appropriate for the digital nomad who hops around from location to location < 6 months and is cornered by CV-19 to move around
