When it comes to blending tropical beauty, premium living, and smart investment value, few destinations can compete with Mauritius.
According to a new global study by Proven Partners, Mauritius ranks 3rd among the world’s most affordable countries to buy a luxury second home — surpassing popular destinations like South Africa, Greece, Portugal, and Spain.
With an affordability score of 8.9/10, the island stands out as a dream location for investors, remote workers, and luxury lifestyle seekers looking for a premium experience without the crazy price tag.
Why Mauritius Is a Smart Luxury Investment
Mauritius has spent the last two decades creating a stable, investor-friendly real estate market. Through well-regulated property schemes, international buyers can easily secure prime real estate in one of the safest and most beautiful island nations in the world.
Here’s why the island shines bright in the latest ranking:
-
Average luxury waterfront property price: £539,299
-
Fine dining cost: around £63 for a high-end tasting menu
-
Luxury car rental: among the lowest at £102/day
-
Property tax regime: highest score (5/5)
-
Year-round sunshine: up to 34 °C during European winters
“Mauritius offers a rare blend of exclusivity, safety, natural beauty, and investment value that’s hard to match,” says Philippe de Beer, CEO & Founder of Park Lane Properties.
