Citya Life Sets A New Standard

Editorial January 14, 2026

Mauritius is shifting from fragmented brokerage toward institutional grade management, and Citya Life is positioning itself as a serious operator for owners who demand consistency.

Citya Life was formed through the integration of Iliad, Ocean Edge, and Feel Free, consolidating local market knowledge into a single platform. The model pairs Mauritian experience with the backing of Citya Immobilier, described as France’s second largest independent real estate group. Citya Immobilier brings scale, including 4,500 employees and the management of 750,000 co-ownership lots across 250 agencies in France.

Bridging Two Real Estate Cultures

Led by entrepreneur Sebastien Lamusse, Citya Life frames its role as a bridge between high performance French standards and the lived realities of the Mauritian market. The firm's stated mission centers on bringing "a new vision of real estate to Mauritius" through "proximity, professionalism and innovation," with Mr Lamusse describing his approach as building "bridges between owners and tenants, co owners and property managers, property and life projects." His philosophy centers on what he calls "lively, human, high performance real estate," with a stated ambition to transform the real estate experience in Mauritius, "making it simpler, calmer and fairer."

Island Wide Operations

The company’s footprint is island wide, anchored by offices in Tamarin, Ebène, Beau Plan, and Azuri. Operationally, a team of 50 plus professionals manages 100 rental properties and thousands of co owned lots. Performance is expressed in a reported 97 percent occupancy rate on managed properties, a metric that speaks directly to investor priorities around stability and cash flow.

Upcoming regulatory shifts (land transfer taxes rising from 5% to 10% from July 2026 and Smart City incentive changes post-June 2025) underscore the need for professional governance. For international investors pursuing the USD 375,000 residency pathway, Citya Life's bilingual capabilities and institutional framework deliver the transparency and cost optimization fragmented operators cannot match.
