For those interested, there is a new boxing gym (Haute Tension) that has recently opened up in Grand Bay near the Grand Bay Business Park. He offers both private as well as group instruction for either children or adults. The instructor (Miguel) ...
The owner / instructor of the gym left Mauritius to return to France, but there is someone else that has opened a gym there now in its place. It's under a different name so not sure what the number is or if they do boxing though. Read More

Hi There, I was wondering if domestic help is available in Mauritius? Is it a common thing or does the average person clean their own houses? If it is common, what would the daily rate be for domestic help? Would you go through an agency or is it ...
Domestic help, whether for cleaning the home or taking care of the pool and garden, is quite common for many expats. There do not seem to be any agencies on the island though and it is basically on a "word of mouth" basis on how people find ... Read More
