Hi vfoxbaret and welcome to https://www.expat.com,

I advise you to read the other threads on the Mauritius forum.You can find answers to some of your questions.
Regarding the time from Port-Louis centre to the beach,it's usually around 30-40 minutes by car.

Best of luck.

Hi,

To retire in Mauritius, you will need a retirement permit and under a retirement permit, you cannot work in Mauritius.

Port Louis and the center of the island are quite far from nice beaches, more than 30 mins drive. The rent vary greatly depending on the location and the type of property...a monthly rent for a flat start as from MUR 15,000. Rent for a house is higher.

Mauritius has both state-sponsored and private healthcare, As an expat, you will definitely need health insurance.

A retirement permit would require that you transfer at least USD30,000 per year for your own expenses x 3 years.  Application cost: MUR20,000 for main permit and MUR5,000 per dependent.

Thanks for your reply!
