Mauritius is developing a more varied senior-living offer, with managed retirement residences now established in Moka and Grand Baie. These projects differ in format, tenure and target market, but share a common proposition: independent living supported by hospitality-style services, security and community facilities.
In Moka, Royal Green Luxury Retirement Village was developed as a senior-focused residential project for people aged 50 and above. Its first phase comprises 82 apartments and represented an investment of Rs 1.5 billion. The residence combines private apartments with facilities including a spa, fitness centre, swimming pool, restaurant and concierge services.
The Luxury Retirement offers options to Mauritian residents through long-term or short-term residential leases. It also provides short-term rental options to Mauritians and non-citizens. Its model is based on managed, independent living, rather than a conventional nursing-home structure.
In the north, Domaine de Grand Baie represents a hospitality-led model. Operated by the French senior-residence group Domitys, it comprises 145 furnished and serviced apartments, ranging from studios to one and two-bedroom units, as well as penthouses. Its offer includes restaurants, bars, spa facilities, indoor and outdoor pools, activities and a 24-hour concierge desk.
Domaine de Grand Baie is aimed at international retirees, including visitors seeking short stays, several months on the island or a longer retirement base. It also offers a “cocooning” option for Mauritian citizens and residents, making it relevant to the domestic market as well as overseas clients.
These projects show that senior living in Mauritius is not one product. Moka’s model is more residential and care-oriented, while Grand Baie is positioned as a fully serviced, resort-style retirement environment.
For prospective residents and investors, the key question is not simply location. It is the legal and operational structure of the project. Buyers should confirm whether they are purchasing, leasing or renting; establish the age criteria; review monthly service charges and healthcare arrangements; and check how resale, rental and residency-permit provisions apply. The next test will be whether operators can maintain the quality of service, care access and transparent costs that residents need over the long term.
