Living in Trou Aux Biches

My husband and I are English and looking to buy a property in Mauritius and really liked Trou Aux Biches when we visited. 

Does anyone live there and do you have any tips on the best properties to purchase.  We will initially be looking to buy the property as an investment so will rent it out but the plan is to then retire there in the future.

Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Jackie

Hello there,

Please note that foreigners cannot buy anything and anywhere in Mauritius. There is a law drafted on this called the Non Citizen Property Restriction Act.

Foreigners as of now can only buy in Integrated Resort Schemes (IRS), Real Estate Schemes (RES), Investment Hotel Schemes (IHS) and apartments worth more than MUR 6 million in a building of more than 2 storeys.

Then again, all this potential purchases are subjected to the approval of the Board of Investment (BOI) and the Prime Minister's Office (PMO).

Hi Winston,

Thank you for the valuable information and the property we are looking at does fall within the government guidelines.  I am looking to get an idea of what it is like to live in the region of Tou Aux Biches - do you know?

Thanks in advance

Jackie

TOB is a tourist and resort area, like the rest of the North of Mauritius for that matter. Many big hotels and spas there. 

It is more quiet than some other towns nearby like Grand Bay but there's stuff to keep yourselves busy.
