Exclusivity at its best, the benefits and beauty of living in a waterfront home are as boundless as the captivating, uninterrupted vistas that grace these homes. For those who enjoy activities like fishing and sailing, living in an oceanfront development, in or near a marina, or even close to a riverbank, is a dream come true. 

Especially on the North and West Coasts, buying a property in Mauritius as a boat owner is commonplace mostly that the best way to enjoy the turquoise waters of our island is indeed, to set sail.

One of the perks of waterfront living is the unique offering and distinctive lifestyle it offers. Tied to a geographical location, like Mauritius, owning such a property is a definite win! However, you need not necessarily buy a waterfront property if you’re a boat owner as there are myriad options for boat parking and maintenance in coastal regions of the island. “If you are a boat owner, you need not necessarily reside in a beachfront development; you can, for instance, join a yacht club and use their facilities, including boat parking, mooring, or boat maintenance services. Additionally, several residential developments like Azuri, St. Antoine, and others offer on-site boat parking or mooring services“, says Lee Lazare, Property Consultant at Mauritius Sotheby’s International Realty. 

Now, if the development you live in does not offer these on-site services, you can still pay for a mooring spot in your area and contact the relevant reputable service providers. So, all in all it’s hassle-free to buy a property in Mauritius as a boat owner.

Typically, the demand for waterfront homes and residential units in coastal areas surpasses the supply due to their immense popularity. “ The demand is substantial, encompassing various markets, including European and South African buyers. Regrettably, there aren’t enough waterfront properties to meet this demand, which is why it is a specially niche market. Nevertheless, if you aspire to buy property in Mauritius as a boat owner, you can invest in any development accessible to foreigners while securely mooring your boat elsewhere.” adds Lee.

Mauritius is an ideal playground for boat owners, particularly those who relish watersports. Here, you have the opportunity to reside in locations such as La Balise Marina, secluded coastal areas like Pointe d’Esny, or areas close to rivers.

With glorious skies, breathtaking views, and a high degree of privacy and seclusion, what’s not to love?
