The relaxed lifestyle in the numerous coastal property developments in the north of Mauritius sure is a prime draw for homebuyers. But there’s more to this perennial holiday mood that appeals most to foreigners in search of short-term or long-term Mauritius housing.

Oceanside living offers other benefits besides the enjoyment of water-based leisure activities. These additional perks help further explain why seafront residences are worth the extra that renters or homebuyers pay.

Water views boost mental health

A study published in the academic journal Health & Place suggests that water views promote less stressful living. This was the first research to have established a link between residents’ mental health and water vista. The research examined data from residential locations in New Zealand, notably an island-nation just like Mauritius.

Another research from an environmental psychologist echoes the positive effect of oceanside living. This study examined census data in England and found out that moving closer to the sea “significantly improves people’s well-being.”

What’s even more, it indicated that this benefit cuts across socio-economic levels. The study also noted that besides reducing stress, a seaside environment also encourages beneficial physical activity.

Beneficial ocean air elements

Researchers from the Pacific Naturopathic in Mountain View, California, looked at the elements behind the ocean’s boost to mental health. Here’s a summary of their findings that definitely bring pluses for Mauritius housing near the sea:

• Sea air contains minerals reducing stress.
• Negatively charged ions in ocean air combat free radicals and improve alertness and concentration.
• Saltwater preserves brain levels of melatonin, serotonin, and tryptamine, helping to diminish depression and increase the overall sense of wellness.
• Ocean wave sound is relaxing, as it positively affects the brain’s wave patterns.

The seasonal water temperatures are likewise beneficial, according to this California study. During the spring and fall months the cool water provides a soothing treatment for your nerves. The warmer summer waters, on the other hand, relax your muscles, the study showed.
