Hello Sanne,

Welcome on board !

In which region are you located ?

It's been a while we have had some dutch on the forum : https://www.expat.com/en/forum/africa/m … chies.html

I don't know if they settled yet. You can send them a private message by clicking on their photo to enquire.

Hi Sanne,

good afternoon, I am Dutch and will move to Mauritius begin October 2025.

My wife is Mauritian and we returning back.

There are not many Dutch in Mauritius and when you like  we can meet at some day  when we are arrived .

I will try to send you a message directly.

Hi Dutchies!

Yes, let's connect! We are a Dutch family of four and are moving to Mauritius on the 5th of January (Tamarin). Please feel free to contact me via PM.

Ha Dutchies,

Me and my wife are arriving tomorrow! Want to meet up?

Good to see Dutch citizens on the platform. How big is the community in Mauritius? I am French / English living in Tamarin but happy to connect with more nationalities. Take care

Anyone who wants to meet up, we are a Dutch family of four and live in Tamarin

We are considering buying a house in Mauritius, the first year as an investment and then moving there (with 2 daughters (15 and 19 years old). We hope to hear some experiences of dutch people. Is there a dutch community (eventhough it is small, I know). Or an active expat community with multiple nationalities?

Love to hear from you!

Hi Laura,

I read that you moved to Mauritius with your family last month! What an adventure! We consider the same with our 2 daughters. What are your experiences so far?

Love to hear from you!

We go to the redeemed community, not the katholic church but redeemed. A great community who do activities together like swimming, running, walking, hiking…. And on Sunday singing to the lord 😁 you are always welcome

Hi! ben aan het kijken naar Mauritius om daar een tijdje naar toe te verhuizen. Ben zo benieuwd hoe je het vindt!

Las dat je er al 2.5 jaar bent, voor werk, of de liefde?

Zijn nu in Griekenland een maandje of 2, daarvoor een tijd in Penang en Thailand gewoond. Verhuizen bijna elk jaar, ben Ned weggegaan 25 jaar geleden en nooit meer echt teruggegaan behalve voor een bezoekje. Lang in Azie gewoond en aardig wat jaartjes in Zuid Eruopa. Griekenland, nee wordt het hem niet, te afgeragd hier!

Hebben geen kids, dus makkelijk met verhuizen ed. Hoor heel graag hoe je het vindt, ook qua veiligheid, gezindheidszorg, dagelijkse kosten, mensen etc. Bedankt en groetjes uit Volos!

Sorry! I did not realize it was not a PM.

My message in English:

Hi! I’m looking into moving to Mauritius for a while and I’m so curious to hear how you’re liking it! I read that you’ve been there for 2.5 years already—was it for work, or for love?

We’re currently in Greece for a month or two, and before that, we lived in Penang and Thailand for a while. We move almost every year; I left the Netherlands 25 years ago and never really went back, except for the occasional visit. I’ve lived in Asia for a long time and spent quite a few years in Southern Europe. Greece... well, it’s not for us. It feels a bit too 'run-down' here!

We don’t have kids, so moving around is pretty easy. I’d love to hear about your experience, especially regarding safety, healthcare, daily cost of living, the people, etc. Thanks so much, and greetings from Volos!
