My name is Khemisha, and I’m from Mauritius. I recently joined ´ó¿§¸£ÀûÓ°Ôº to connect with people living in or interested in Mauritius and to exchange experiences, tips, and ideas.

I’m interested in technology, remote work, and digital tools, and I enjoy learning new skills and meeting people from different backgrounds. I’m happy to share local insights about Mauritius and also learn from the experiences of expats living here.

Looking forward to connecting with you all and being part of the community!

Warm regards,

Khemisha

Hello Khemisha,

Welcome to ´ó¿§¸£ÀûÓ°Ôº 😀

Thanks so much for wanting to help newcomers on the island!

It is really nice to see locals reaching out to make expats feel welcome and helping them connect.

Cheers,

Thanks so much for creating this group. I’m really excited to be part of the community, and I can already tell this is going to be incredibly helpful.

I’m just getting started with my search for a ground floor furnished rental, so if anyone has tips or advice on where to look or what to watch out for, I’d really appreciate it.

Hanks a ton!

Hello and welcome !

Feel free to read the housing section of the Mauritius Guide : /en/guide/africa/m … s/#housing

In regards to accommodation, never sign anything before visiting. Make several visits if necessary and at different time of the day.

Do you know where on the island you want to live ?

Bhavna

Hi everyone

I am coming to Mauritius on 4 May to compete my visa application.

If anyone knows of somewhere to stay for the first week, please advise. Also, of course, I will need a long term rental in the region of Perybere/Grand Baie. Somewhere with access to a pool and close to shops, bars, restaurants etc as I will initially be without a car. My budget is up to 40,000 MUR

Thanks in advance of any leads!

Hello Lynederry,

Welcome to ´ó¿§¸£ÀûÓ°Ôº 😀

For any housing requests, we invite you to post an advert in the Housing opportunities for expats in Mauritius section, where you can include all the details of the type of property you are looking for.

You can also browse the existing adverts, as you may already find something that suits your needs.

Regarding short-term accommodation for your first week, do you have a preferred area you would like to stay in? For example, since you are considering a long-term rental in the north, you may also want to look at staying in that same region initially.

Cheers,

Cheryl

@Bhavna

Thanks for that advice!

@Cheryl

Thank you. Found somewhere to stay for the first week now in Perybere

I'm Dutch, moving from Belgium to Mauritius on 1st January 2027. My husband is a Mauritius citizen so we are joining family on the island in Tamarin area, which will make for an easier start. For both of us it's going to be a new experience. We've only been to Mauritius on holidays. We have lived in Southern Africa / West Africa / Europe. We're self-employed as therapeutic coaches and will start out working mostly online with international clients until we've found our feet on the island. Looking forward to exploring, enjoying the ocean and good Poisson Sale & Dol Pouri!

Hello Sarah,

Welcome to ´ó¿§¸£ÀûÓ°Ôº 😀

Haha, I really enjoyed reading your introduction! I can already tell you are a poisson salé and dholl puri lover too...great choices! 😄

It sounds like you have an exciting adventure ahead of you. Having family in Mauritius will definitely make the transition a little easier.

If you have any questions along the way, no matter the topic, do not hesitate to start a new discussion on the Mauritius forum. You should also have a look at our guide: Living in Mauritius: the ultimate expat guide

Wishing you all the best with your move. 😉
