In a context where energy efficiency and mobility are essential, Work From Home has become a necessity. To support this shift, Mauritius Telecom is proposing exceptional offers designed to transform every Mauritian home into a high-performance workspace and study hub.
Everyday life
Within just a few days, a wide stretch of sand vanished along the west coast of Mauritius. A stark episode that lays bare a truth backed by data, even as authorities moved quickly to try to restore the situation: the island is among the most vulnerable in the world to rising sea levels and coastal erosion.
Schools & studies
Mauritius is about to join a already lengthy list of countries that have chosen to act. More than 60 nations have enacted laws or policies restricting smartphone use in schools. Among them are France, the United Kingdom, Australia, China, Italy, Finland, Canada, and the Netherlands. The island, according to some observers, has been slow to follow suit. "Mauritius was too slow to react," say various stakeholders, who point to the antisocial behaviors that have proliferated in schools in the wake of mobile phone use.
Everyday life
Moving abroad often starts with a feeling, a vague desire for change that gradually takes shape. For Anaïs Honorez, the plan came together step by step, through travels across Asia and the discovery of Mauritius, where she settled in 2018. Since then, she has turned her personal experience into genuine expertise, helping dozens of expats each year navigate their move to the island. In this interview, she looks back on her journey, shares the realities of life in Mauritius beyond the postcard clichés, and offers practical advice for a successful relocation, from preparation through those first months on the ground.
Visas
Mauritius is taking its attractiveness strategy to the next level. Announced at the Cabinet Meeting on April 10, 2026, a Golden Visa Scheme is currently in the works, alongside a dedicated concierge service for ultra-high-net-worth investors. Behind the announcement lies a clear and deliberate ambition: to capture capital on the move, and fast.
Everyday life
At a time when the Middle East is going through one of its most serious geopolitical crises in decades, Mauritius finds itself on the front line of the economic repercussions of a conflict beyond its control. A recent UNDP report has quantified the extent of these risks with precision. Diesel prices have already increased. Rumors of rising petrol and bread prices continue to circulate, despite government efforts to deny them. Meanwhile, the first concrete responses are beginning to emerge within businesses. Here is a full breakdown of the measures shaping daily life in Mauritius.
