Work & Live in Mauritius

Mauritius is indeed unique in one single most powerful way: nowhere else on earth will you find such a thriving place to work and invest blended with a quality of life as exquisite.

As an investor looking for profitable ventures, or a professional attracted to our shores by our growing international business sector, or as a person looking for a safe and hospitable place to retire, living here simply means you can have it all a full year round: a lush and pristine landscape, stunning views of our mountains and gorges, a translucent turquoise lagoon ringed by its coral reef, white sandy beaches stretching several kilometers…

Enjoyable and beautiful though, Mauritius is also a safe place to live either as a national or an expatriate single professional, family or retiree. Crime prevalence is very low making Mauritius one of the safest law-abiding countries of the world. On the health front, the country is free from many of the diseases affecting the sub-tropical countries of the world.

Several public and private hospitals, clinics and specialised health centres can be found locally, offering world-class service. While health services are free-of-charge in government hospitals and dispensaries around the country, health insurance policies are currently available from a number of local and international service providers.

The education sector boasts several schools of international standard, both public and private, delivering the Cambridge University A’ levels, the French Baccalaureate and the International Baccalaureate. Several tertiary education providers can also be found, offering internationally recognized degrees and post-degree qualifications.

Over the island, several competitively priced luxury apartments, fully furnished villas and beach front residences are available for rent. A few international property agents have appointed representative agencies locally.
