Understanding the Northern Market
Key information for local and international buyers.
Buying Property in Mauritius as a Foreigner
Foreign nationals can purchase residential property in Mauritius through regulated schemes: PDS (Property Development Scheme), Smart City and G+2. These frameworks offer significant tax advantages and entitle the buyer to a Mauritian residence permit from USD 375,000 invested. Registration duty is reduced to 5% for eligible purchasers.
Why Invest in Northern Mauritius
Northern Mauritius — Grand Baie, Grand Gaube, Cap Malheureux — concentrates the bulk of the premium residential offer. Price per square metre remains well below comparable destinations such as the French Riviera or the Algarve, while gross rental yields typically sit between 4% and 6% for well-positioned properties.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything You Need to Know
Answers to the questions our buyer clients ask most often.
Which areas does Sphere Heritage cover?
We operate primarily in the north of Mauritius: Grand Gaube, Grand Baie, Cap Malheureux and Péreybère. These areas concentrate the bulk of the premium residential offer — architect-designed villas, apartments in gated communities, sea-facing plots — with direct access to Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport.
What is the difference between the PDS, IRS and RES?
The IRS (Integrated Resort Scheme) and RES (Real Estate Scheme) are legacy frameworks now closed to new registrations. The PDS (Property Development Scheme), introduced in 2015, replaced them with a unified framework allowing foreign nationals to purchase residential property with tax advantages and a residence permit from USD 375,000 invested.
Is there a capital gains tax on property in Mauritius?
No. Mauritius levies no capital gains tax on real estate. There is also no inheritance tax on property located on the island, making it a particularly attractive destination for building long-term, transferable family wealth.
How long does a property transaction take in Mauritius?
The typical timeframe between signing the preliminary agreement and the final deed of sale is 2 to 4 months. This may vary depending on the complexity of the file, the chosen financing method and any administrative steps specific to foreign buyers.
Can you rent out your property in Mauritius?
Yes. Owners may let their property on a short-term or annual basis. The rental market in the north is active, driven by strong demand from expatriates and long-stay visitors. Gross rental yields typically range between 4% and 6% for well-located properties, with higher returns recorded for villas with private pools.
