Time is of the essence when you’re visiting an island, for whatever reason. If your intention is to buy luxury property in Mauritius, for example, or book a luxury rental for a holiday or short business trip, you want to capture every sunset, even if you don’t make it to every sunrise. But that’s just for the romantics.
The point? The luxury living experience must always be easy. That’s island life. It means that wherever you lay your hat it must be somewhere that takes the hassle out of the humdrum.
If you really must force yourself off your pool lounger or comfy couch on the veranda to buy groceries, visit the doctor or dentist, or do a school run, all those things must be close by.
That’s the beauty of Les Residences de Mont Choisy, an upmarket development in the north of Mauritius. It is close to everything in neighbouring Grand Baie, the tourist capital of the island, and within the upcoming Mont Choisy smart city!
Open to foreign investment, this upmarket development is established on freehold property as part of a government-approved Real Estate Scheme or RES. (Islanders rattle off the abbreviations at speed so it’s a good idea to learn them. New developments are built under the Property Development Scheme or PDS, but previously those luxury homes flagged for foreign investment were also constructed under the Integrated Resort Scheme or IRS.)

Boutique apartments
Owners at this development located in Mont Choisy, just outside Grand Baie, Les Residence de Mont Choisy owners of a two- or three-bedroom apartment have access to an onsite hair salon, laundry, 24/7 concierge, glorious swimming pools and a spa. What’s more, there are only 20 boutique apartments in the development.
Spa, you say. So, it’s like a hotel then. Well, almost. The only difference is that the experience is yours forever when you buy here. The investment comes with permanent residency for you, your spouse, your children over under the age of 24 and your parents. The only proviso is that you must retain ownership of your luxury Mauritius home.
Did you know that the Mauritius government recently lowered the investment threshold for foreigners to qualify for this perk? Luxury apartments purchased for USD375,000 will get you the island home of your dreams. That’s a reduction of USD125,000 from the previous limit.
Les Résidences de Mont Choisy
Ultimate relaxation
So, about that spa… there’s nothing else like it for those living on the island and who have reached that wonderful benchmark that means they no longer need to work. The facility is shared with the senior services residence, Le Domaine de Grand Baie, on the same site. It’s comparable to a hydro, really, already complete and ready to receive its first guest once keys are handed over. Features include the first indoor, heated swimming pool in Mauritius, with a wave-making mechanism to up the ante in the fun stakes. There is also a sauna, hammam, massage services, beauty salon, and a fitness area.
Once ensconced in your happy home, you’ll appreciate the thought that has gone into every detail. Exotic Bali is the source for high-quality materials and finishes for the optional home deco pack.
Earthy textiles and light wooden furniture form the base for pops of turquoise in the bedrooms, teal in the lounge, and chartreuse for the outdoor living area that looks onto lush, landscaped gardens.
