Well done Lucy! I would like to add that the best time to look for a rental is definitely from April to August. Because lots of the Europeans (which had a 6 months lease) are leaving for the European summer therefore the prices are better and there are more options. What we found very bizarre is that if you contact an agent they consider you as their client and you should not contact another agent....😉 otherwise you get in trouble🙈 very wired rule here in Mauritius 🇲🇺
Those website you gave are better put together than some of the website here in the USA. Really like how detail it is, as you can search in detail what you want. Saw a 400 US dollar penthouse in Blue Bay that my jaw drop of the price of it. What a bargain.
Hi Lucy I finally made it to Mauritius in December. We had beautiful sunny days all the way. Everything was amazing. The beaches the scenery was breathtaking. I felt so safe and at home. I hope to be back soon.
Note that utility rates, more especially electricity, differ allot between free standing houses in "local" areas vs staying in RES areas more aimed at expats. These days the whole stretch from Cap Malheureux until Troux Aux Biches expats stay in. Pereybere is loosing traction for long term expats who rather prefer a bit less density. Although more expensive, all the Mont Choisy developments is going to be a hub in the next 5 - 10 years.
@@LucyLeheilleix Very true, I just hope they look at increasing road infrastructure as well. These single main roads are becoming a pain in most main areas.
Absolutely. For now, there doesn’t seem to be much change in infrastructure such as improving roads….just building complex’s, villas and apartments and smart cities….
Hi Lucy, thank you for all your very useful videos! I am wondering if we should start a utility contract by ourselves usually and how that process works? How long it takes etc
Hi Lucy, love your channel. Do you often (or rarely?) see property for sale with land, preferably arable in Mauritius? If so, could you recommend a website for me to look at?
Thank you for this! Actually this vid couldn't be more on time, I'm moving with one friend of mine at December. So basically we took 2 weeks of Airbnb, to check later some flats to rent.
Your amazing I am a successful Mom coming with 2 kiddos- finally the dream a reality. This was helpful thank you. Where would you suggest staying for a few weeks while looking for a rental?
Hi Lucy, thank you so much for the detailed information 😊.. I got job here in IT field.. need some information. Could you please let me know how can we connect to discuss.. thank you 😊
Hi dear would £600 be enough to live on the island... This budget is a minimum... Per say this should cover accommodation food and utilities etc... Thank you
Thanks for such wonderful information Lucy...your videos are quite helpful and informative I am also looking forward to purchasing a property as an expat in Mauritius...but my goal is to get citizenship by investment...so just wanted to know is there any scheme at present that allows a foreigner to get citizenship in Mauritius??? Please reply
Thank you for this insightful video! I'm working with a well known agency in Mauritius to secure an apartment and noticed that the contract shows the lessors name, account number, and bank name with instructions to forward payments there. Is this common in Mauritius? I was expected a secure online payment portal.
Definitely try Airbnb. Favourite areas would be Poste Lafayette, Pointe D’Esny and Tamarin. Sadly all villas I have stayed in have been friends places, so I can’t personally recommend a particular villa. Have fun!
Thanks for the comment Pieter. I find these stock shots invaluable for telling the story. All info is relevant to Mauritius….I just think people would rather have cut aways than looking at my ugly mug for 9 mins 😂 Do check out my other videos if you’re looking for purely Mauritian imagery 👍🏻
Hi Lucy I am coming to Mauritius next Feb on my Honeymoon Could you recommend us hotels/resorts, activities and must visit places ? Would highly appreciate your help
Hello Aly. Please scroll through my UA-cam content page as I have over 150 videos listing places to see, things to do and a few hotels too! Have a great honeymoon 😀
I had a very bad experience with Agent in Grand Bay, Céline Vallée Lacoste Michael zinkraft . Please be careful she is professional lyer to my point. Double check everything !
Why does it have to be white? You are going to an island dominated by brown people. If you don't like non white people the I suggest stay put in your white dominated country and don't move.

Thanks for the info. There is a ton of development going on all over the island…smart cities popping up everywhere.

Can you do AIR BNB in Mauritius????
Yes, indeed! That's your best bet for the first month or so.
Thank you for this! Actually this vid couldn't be more on time, I'm moving with one friend of mine at December. So basically we took 2 weeks of Airbnb, to check later some flats to rent.
Cool! I hope your move over here goes smoothly 😄
Thank you for the information lucy, I have given you a like. ☕
Thanks Spencer!
Your amazing I am a successful Mom coming with 2 kiddos- finally the dream a reality. This was helpful thank you. Where would you suggest staying for a few weeks while looking for a rental?
Thanks for your comment. I personally like the west, but many people prefer the north. Totally up to you.
Thank you, Lucy! Do you recommend getting an AirBnB for the first three months while I take time to find a property? Your channel is a gem!
Yes, absolutely. Try Airbnb as most rentals are at least 6 to 12 month leases.
Great information thank you
Thanks very much. I appreciate it!
Hi Lucy, thank you so much for the detailed information 😊..
I got job here in IT field.. need some information. Could you please let me know how can we connect to discuss.. thank you 😊
My email address is in the link in the description 😃
Thanks please make video on how to get a job, web site, minimum salary, skills in high demand, good placement agency, room rent, Dois & dont for job
Some residence have someone to change the gas for them
Hi dear would £600 be enough to live on the island... This budget is a minimum... Per say this should cover accommodation food and utilities etc... Thank you
I think that’s way too little….$1500-$2000 more likely. Depends on many factors though…
Thanks for such wonderful information Lucy...your videos are quite helpful and informative
I am also looking forward to purchasing a property as an expat in Mauritius...but my goal is to get citizenship by investment...so just wanted to know is there any scheme at present that allows a foreigner to get citizenship in Mauritius???
Please reply
Citizenship is virtually impossible to get, but residency is much easier. Do check out the official Mauritian government website for more info.
@@LucyLeheilleix thankyou soo much for the reply...😊😊
when you say gas, is that propane or what type?
Cooking gas.😀
Fyi propane is Subsidised by the. Local government
Nice information
Thanks
Is mahebourg best place to live in mauritius? Can we expect any video about mahebourg in coming future?
There are many great places to live 😄
@@LucyLeheilleix No it's not like that ma'am, I had a friend living in mahebourg so i asked if there is any particular reason to live there!
Thank you for this insightful video! I'm working with a well known agency in Mauritius to secure an apartment and noticed that the contract shows the lessors name, account number, and bank name with instructions to forward payments there. Is this common in Mauritius? I was expected a secure online payment portal.
Hello. That sounds perfectly reasonable to have on a contract. You can setup online secure payments as and when you like. Good luck.
Hey lucy! I had a question, should you pay the electricity, water and internet bills by yourself or should you pay it to the landlord/landlady?
Hello. All bills are usually paid by yourself. Internet at my.t. Water at CWA and electricity online at CEB. 😃
I pay at their offices.
It looks like one can get years of visas but not permanent residency?
You can get PRP. I have one for 20 years.
Nice video! :)
Thanks Bella 😊
Hi we are coming there family of 5 for Jan for a month we are looking for a villa on beach can you recommend any thank you
Hi Lee. Whereabouts on the island? Any preferences?
@@LucyLeheilleix no not really as long as the beach is nice we’re happy 😊
Definitely try Airbnb. Favourite areas would be Poste Lafayette, Pointe D’Esny and Tamarin. Sadly all villas I have stayed in have been friends places, so I can’t personally recommend a particular villa. Have fun!
Why is the agent paid by the tenant when they’re employed by the landlord to find a tenant?
It’s the same when you buy a house.
I really enjoy your videos! I would personally like to see video clips of only Mauritius, not generic video clips edited in.

Immigrants mostly go to the north or north west then ?
Hi Lucy
I am coming to Mauritius next Feb on my Honeymoon
Could you recommend us hotels/resorts, activities and must visit places ?

Sorry to hear. One does indeed have to be careful.
Is Tamarin is a White expat neighborhood?
Tamarin is a multi cultural area like most of Mauritius
Why does it have to be white? You are going to an island dominated by brown people. If you don't like non white people the I suggest stay put in your white dominated country and don't move.

Hi Lucy,

Thanks !
