Retire in Mauritius and experience the perfect blend of lifestyle, safety, and natural beauty.
Mauritius has steadily become one of the top retirement destinations for expats seeking a warm, peaceful, and well-connected home. With a multicultural society, stable governance, tropical year-round climate, and excellent connectivity to Africa, Europe, and Asia, it offers a lifestyle that’s both exotic and secure.
Mauritius offers an initial residency-retiree permit, which is a 3-year permit, ideal for individuals aged 50 and above. The process to retire in Mauritius is straightforward and accessible.
Additional Notes:
Applications can be submitted jointly with a spouse or dependents.
The largest percentage of our buyers are in the retiree category, they’re 50+ years old and are predominantly from France and South Africa.
The investment is the same as any other investor buying property to get the residence permit, i.e, a minimum of USD 375 000 is necessary to qualify for that residency.
Mauritius offers a transparent and advantageous tax regime.
Progressive Income Tax: once an individual meets the criteria for residence, they are liable to pay income tax in Mauritius on all income earned within Mauritius or remitted to Mauritius with a maximum rate of 20%.
Additional Benefits:
Those who retire in Mauritius enjoy a diverse and fulfilling way of life, whether choosing coastal or inland living. The island offers easy access to outdoor activities like golf, sailing, hiking, and more, complemented by a vibrant culinary and cultural scene.
Expat communities thrive across the West, East, and North of the island, offering a warm and inclusive environment for retirees seeking connection and comfort.
Mauritius offers a reliable healthcare system supported by both the public and private sector. With over 4,650 hospital beds and continuous investment in technology and staff training, the country ensures access to quality care across the island.

For seniors, Mauritius provides geriatric departments, rehabilitation centres, assisted living options, and other services, tailored for ageing well and living comfortably.
While the island ticks all the boxes in terms of safety, lifestyle, and ease of settlement, deciding to retire in Mauritius also depends on your personal goals, whether you’re seeking low taxes, tranquility, or community living in a paradise setting.
