Mauritius is the Indian Ocean's most sophisticated second-home market — and the one that offers the most complete package: year-round warmth, French-standard food, English legal system, 15% flat income tax for residents, no capital gains tax, and a genuine quality of life that makes full relocation a realistic option.
This tour is designed for buyers who are seriously considering Mauritius — either as a second home, a tax-residency destination, or both. The IRS/PDS/G+2 property schemes that enable permanent residency on qualifying purchases are a central focus. Your guide is Jean-Yves Rivière of Île Maurice Estates, who has been advising international buyers since 2010 and has the strongest track record in the market for buyers making complex integrated relocation decisions.
Jean-Yves was born in Réunion and moved to Mauritius in 2008, initially to work for a luxury hotel group. He pivoted to property advisory in 2010 when he recognised that the IRS/PDS schemes were creating a sophisticated residency-by-investment market that had no dedicated buyer advisors. His firm now manages over 90 Mauritius properties for international clients, making him among the most active property advisors on the island.
“I came sceptical and left with a signed reservation. The local partner knew every corner of the market — including deals that never reach the portals.”
“Six viewings in four days, all pre-vetted. No time-share pressure, no developer sales rooms. Just real properties with honest pricing.”
“The group dynamic surprised me — twelve serious buyers comparing notes creates a remarkably useful signal on what's genuinely worth pursuing.”
