Hi I'm from Botswana.

I'm about to complete my degree in International Business & French and exploring prospects around moving to Mauritius but wanted to find out ore about living costs, the lifestyle there etc from anyone who lives there?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I’m in the US and have learned a lot from YouTube videos by Lucy Lehelleix, Bryan discover world, Rolfe’s international, Marc Maurel & Will Tevs. Each presents a different perspective on this beautiful island

Hello!

I'm considering moving from the UK to Mauritius, however, I've never been before! So I'm coming to Mauritius in September for 4 months initially on a tourist visa, to see if it is a place that I want to live. If I like Mauritius the plan is to come back on a premium visa.

For my trip in September, I'm wondering where is the best place to book short-term accommodation for 2-3 months? Is Airbnb the only option for this, or do some estate agents also provide short-term lets?

Thanks,

Estelle

Hello, I'm a student from Botswana weighing my options still but planning to move to Mauritius upon completion of my studies and hopefully do my masters and work in the beautiful country of Mauritius. I would really love to talk to someone who is willing to help me by giving insight to living costs, job hunting, lifestyle, visas etc

Thank you in advance.

Hi Everyone. Myself and my wife are finally scheduled to fly back to Perth, Australia on 19 October 2021. We have a few items of home decor and furniture for sale that are in very good condition in Floreal. I have listed these in the classified section. I also have a Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Dec 2015 with just 47,000 kms for sale but we need to keep it till just before we leave though. I will list this in the car section later on. Please have a look at the items we have for sale in the home section and let us know if anything is of interest to you.

We hope your stay as an Expat in Mauritius is great !   

Thank you.

I had another account here which i lost access to so i created a new. Heres my story (again). I had a massive stroke 2014 which left me paralyzed in my left side. I have recovered some, so i can walk very short distances (not fast, not pretty or safe, but at least forward. Will probably continue to make progress & think its realistic to be able to walk reasonably well again, even though not like before stroke, which is not necessarily needed for a good life. Ive been to Mauritius twice. Once 2010, before stroke on a honeymoon & in 2019 on holiday (after stroke). I plan to relocate permanently to Mauritius with my companion Who is healthy & younger than me. A good thing since i wouldnt dare relocating on my own, even though it might be possible. Hoping to get early retirenment & move to Mauritius within the next few 3 to 4 years. Where do you think would be the best area to live for a disabled middleaged man? Im open to any area from beach to the plateau. But since i know my companion wants to live at the beach so i guess the beach it Will be.  She should be well rewarded for making this possible for me & i definitely dont mind living at the beach & i assume well have AC in case it gets too warm for me. At the Coast im considering grand baie, flic en flac, tamarin & mahebourg. Which of these (or any else would you recommend for a person in my situation? I know mauritius is fairly disable friendly overall & i feel safe there with the friendly & helpful People. I found it easier to get around than where i live now (sweden). I accept i cant be so adventorous anymore, but of course i need to be able to get to shops /restaurants easily. Have you ever had a tsunami in mauritius? If so, i guess they would occur on the eastern side due to geological activity in South east asia? Or are these thoughts some thing you think i could completely disregard from. Also a question about cyclons. Are there areas that usually are more affected from them than others & if so which areas. As i understand cyclones do occur on a somewhat reglar basis, but are not usually life threatening, but do cause damage like flood, power shortage etc. Please correct me if im wrong. Big decision & many questions, but i plan to go though with my plans. I survived the stroke & aim to make the best of my second chance. Sorry for long post

I found both my lodgings in Mauritius through Booking.com.
I was based in Grand Baie and then Mahebourg.
My 3 months tourist trip got agreeably extended to 6.

Yes, ill definitely check out flic en flac when ill go on a recon trip feb to march 23. Its definitely on The top of my interest list. Also found a house for a reasonable price to buy there accessible to foreigners (even though it might be wiser to start with renting) . As i understand theres both a nice beach & nice mountainview there & quite close to gorges national park which i really liked

Might be of big interest to me when i go to Mauritius feb to april 23. Is the house also available for short term rent? I plan to check out places i havent seen yet, but ill probably stay in pereybere & do some physiotherapy with a physiotherapist im in contact with. But ill stay for at least two months (probably longer), & plan to move around in different areas

Hello. I have been living in Mauritius since 2009. Great place. I wanted to sell my 2 cars. Both are Nissan March year 2013. Anyone interested please email me

Hi Clarry,

Nice meeting you here. I would like a chance to chat with you more about the real estate market in Mauritius and explore options to purchase and whether it’s a good idea from an investment perspective for an expat. I’m also considering relocating from from where I currently reside (in the center) when my current lease expires.

Regards,

Hello my name is Aisha and am from Ghana.
Planning to visit Mauritius by February next year.i believe I will get help from here .

Ok dear thanks

Thanks for the welcome. i am going to Mauritius 1 October and need a notary near Black River. Anybody know of one?

Hi all, i am here 2 years now ( i know , i am a let joiner) and am from Croatia , living in East of Mauritius.
It is my 2nd "round " in Mauritius since have lived here 2009 to 2011.  Have Mauritian partner so that helped in settling in , work in hospitality, and in free time assist with animal welfare/foster dogs. Glad to assist anybody with any info if needed

Agree on that.  All the major vloggers put up very informative videos on Mauritius.  Very good for me who is planning to relocate there in a few years. Ive been to Mauritius a couple of times on holiday (& honeymoon). Im actually thinking about putting up my own channel with a very different angle.  Im a disabled stroke survivor & would love to inspire other disabled people that you should never give up your dreams & hopefully my rehabilitation will get a boost from being able to train all year around.  Thats not possible in Sweden during winter.  Too cold & i get severe muscle tension which affects my ability to walk badly. No meaning to compete with those magnificent vloggers. I cant be as adventurous as them.  Heck,  ill be happy if i can make it to the beach, which might inspire fellow disabled people if i make it. Sorry for long post.  Its not my intention to steal your thread.  Just got so enthusiastic when someone used the same strategy as me.

Hi all,
we are German, currently living in Spain and will make Mauritius our new home for retirement by September next year. After working long times overseas all the time and having less of a private time, we are looking forward to start our "new life" on this beautiful island.  After all this Corona time we got aware of that one should cherish every single moment in life. Not to wait for doing things - just DO IT!
And for us Mauritius as a new home it is.
We hope to find every smallest information which might help us for a "smooth" relocation.

Greetings all!.

We are a family from South Africa, currently living in Constantia in the beautiful Western Cape. We are currently applying for my retirement VISA in Mauritius and if my VISA is approved and all goes well, we will  be moving to Mauritius in Jan/Feb of 2022. We have 2 boys, Tristan 11 and Ethan 7. We are bringing our other family member, Ranger our Golden Retriever with us.

We are both excited and little anxious as we do not know really what to expect. We have read a ton of information on Mauritius and so far feel its a place that we should be ale to call home one day.

Thank you for this platform [expat] as we find it very informative and the go-to for advise. All the best and see you soon!   

Hi,
I do have apartments for rent on a short term or long term basis.
They are located in East side of the island.
If you are interested in knowing more, let me know.

Thanks.
Vishaal.

Hi Maria,

Nice meeting you here! I have lived in Botswana for a short stint and would be excited to meet you if you end up relocating to Mauritius.

To answer your questions. I think it all depends with your perspective. I have lived in a few African countries before relocating to Mauritius and my perspective is formed from my previous experiences. I find Mauritius a bit more expensive than the average southern African countries I have lived in including Botswana. But I think that’s understandable, it’s a tiny island (albeit with population numbers close to those of Botswana) and most things to sustain human livelihood is actually imported onto the island, so things tend to be expensive. Maybe also being a holiday resort drives up costs of things like accommodation and such. But I find services (e.g. internet, water and sanitation, electricity etc) reasonably cheap.

In general the lifestyle is very laid back. If you were coming for retirement to the island, I would say it’s a perfect place for you. Not really sure it’s the best place for a young graduate starting out a career! There’s not much to learn or experience on the island! It’s not hustling and bustling with activity, or events really. Infact within 3months you’ll likely have experienced every tourist and interesting attraction there is on the island and left with nothing to do. But it’s safe and the people are warm and friendly.

Wishing you all the best with your decision making.

Regards,
Sands
