I am planning on relocating to Mauritius once I get my retirement visa. Upcoming May I am coming to the island for the first time to check out the island and see where I would love to live. As my monthly pension is not that high, will it be possible to rent a nice little house for max. Rs. 23,000 ? I am aware of the fact that the bigger and more touristy towns will be more expensive? For now I don't think that I want to buy a car either and want to rely on public transportation. Wonder how that will work out. Does anybody here have experience in that? Thank you very much for the help and answers.

Yes 23k should be fine.


I rent a 1 bedroom in Flic en Flac with a pool for like 20k.


You should be able to get a 2 bedroom for 23k.
