When it comes to securing and growing wealth, real estate, best investment option for the wealthy, consistently stands out for high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs). While this trend is global, Mauritius has also emerged as an attractive destination for luxury property investment.

With more than 70% of the country’s gross FDI in 2024 directed towards real estate, the island is not only a tropical paradise but also a thriving investment hub. This dual appeal, financial and experiential, continues to draw elite investors from across the globe.

Real estate offers a sense of permanence and security. For many high-net-worth individuals, real estate combines stable returns with personal lifestyle benefits. In locations like Mauritius, the ability to enjoy the asset, whether as a primary residence, second home, or part of a legacy plan, only enhances its value.

Between 2019 and 2023, luxury home prices globally soared, with the U.S. market alone seeing a 65% increase, according to J.P. Morgan Private Bank.

Mauritius has mirrored this trend, particularly in regions such as Grand Baie, Tamarin, and the East Coast. Here, luxury villas, PDS and IHS properties have seen impressive growth, driven by high demand and limited supply. For those with the means, investing in property here isn’t just about location, it’s a strategic choice.

The global outlook reinforces local trends. A reported 86% of HNWIs plan to purchase property within the next year (Chubb Wealth Report, 2024), and nearly half of global billionaires are increasing their exposure to real estate (UBS Billionaire Ambitions Report 2024). 

For prospective investors, the message is clear: Mauritius remains one of the most promising real estate markets offering islander perks. For sellers, this demand presents a golden opportunity, especially in sought-after areas.

With robust FDI flows, escalating demand for luxury properties, and an unbeatable lifestyle offering, real estate is the best investment option for the wealthy, offering growth, legacy, and lifestyle.
