With its scenic landscapes, cliffs and endlessly crashing waves, this stretch of coastline is reputed for its idyllic and authentic setting...
Composed of numerous small villages and an emerald sea where fine sandy beaches breathe silence, the South of the island has a particular charm, increasingly appreciated by investors.
The art of living in all its glory
The peaceful southern regions, well away from the hustle and bustle of the big cities, are home to a blend of historic sites and beautiful natural panoramas. More pristine than the west and more authentic and less touristy than the north, it stands out for its picturesque and environment-friendly locations.
Beyond the relics of Vieux Grand Port and Mahebourg, or the beautiful beaches of Blue Bay, Gris-Gris and St Félix, you will find the magnificent Avalon golf course, Riambel equestrian centre, the reserves and nature parks of Savinia, Héritage, La Vanille Nature Park and La Vallée des Couleurs... These are all must-sees, irrespective of the south being a place to visit, live or invest.
Fresh impetus across the region
The charm of the South certainly leaves no one indifferent, as the region has great potential for safe and profitable investments. Several initiatives are already underway to boost this part of the island. Among the projects are extremely attractive real estate developments, an upcoming Smart City, and a large-scale programme aimed at renewing and upgrading a long-forgotten village...
Le Bouchon is home to a new smart city! This large-scale project on the State Investment Trust (SIT) land is expected to span 143 acres of land and 20 acres of geometric pitches and will be an accessible place to live and work. The smart city will feature two residential areas, an international beachfront hotel, a commercial hub, an office space, and much more.
The seaside village of Mahébourg is about to undergo a metamorphosis... The Economic Development Board (EDB) has approved an inclusive restructuring plan for the Mahebourg region through the National Regeneration Programme (NRP), which aims to rehabilitate the existing infrastructure and historical towns and villages by restoring and consolidating the environment, infrastructure and emblematic sites of the region.
Enhancing the authentic charm of Baie du Cap!
“Our real estate programme embodies the Mauritian lifestyle in its most authentic expression. Accessible to Mauritians and foreigners as well, Anbalaba is set in a unique, wild and preserved location, inviting you to experience a true escape! Combined with leisure, sport and relaxation facilities, the inclusive domain is located on the heights of Baie du Cap, overlooking the natural treasures that surround this part of the island. We feel spellbound by the charm of Mauritius. With this project, we intend to highlight the authentic charm of Baie du Cap, by combining high-end real estate with leisure, shopping and quality facilities. All with an eco-responsible development, respecting the surrounding nature. From building plots for tailor-made villas to spacious flats with breathtaking views, and even luxurious terraced houses with swimming pools and gardens - we provide you with the choice to invest in an exclusive property that suits you best.” Hippolyte Bouigue, Director of Bouigue Développement - Promoter of Anbalaba Reviving the south of the island!
“For over 200 years, CBVL has been a major economic player in the region, and is its largest employer. The group is also actively involved in preserving the natural and historical heritage of the South East, a region with a rich history and a pristine natural environment. Our desire to protect the essence of the South East is reflected in our various projects. As part of the PDS Pointe d'Esny Le Village project, for which infrastructure work has just begun, we aim to protect the wetlands of Pointe d'Esny and restore the endemic flora and fauna of the area. Simultaneously, in Beau Vallon, we will renovate the buildings of the old factory to build an eco-district, the Berges De Beau Vallon, part of the National Regeneration Programme of Mahébourg. It will incorporate gentle traffic, leisure activities, cultural activities and restaurants, as well as residential and office space. Finally, we are developing a leisure centre to offer activities in harmony with nature, alongside our property offerings.” Christophe Curé, Group Property Manager of Compagnie de Beau Vallon
