Shopping and eating out are popular living in Mauritius

If you need more convincing that living in Mauritius is a luxury you can afford, dine out and shop where the locals go. Try to limit shopping in stores that stock imported items typically priced on par with those available in Europe.

Instead, head to the local markets such as Flacq Market, which boasts the largest outdoor marketplace in Mauritius. You’ll find various goods ranging from textile products to locally grown fruits and vegetables for sale at cheaper prices. What’s more, you’ll be immersed in Mauritius’s diverse and charming culture, which has won the hearts of thousands of tourists and homebuyers from abroad.

Direct from farmers and fishermen

Farmers’ markets are also popular in Mauritius. You can even find villagers along the street selling fresh eggs from their own hens at bargain prices. Similarly, you can look for local fishermen selling their catch of the day.

Another option is to visit La Ferme De Mont Choisy. It is located in northern Mauritius at the Mont Choisy Sugar Estate in Grand Bay. You can buy free-range chicken and eggs here as well.

Mont Choisy is also the location of many luxury residential properties for sale. Those by 2Futures, the no. 1 real estate developer in Mauritius, are sought-after by foreign investors considering living in Mauritius at the most affordable price.
