The lifestyle
Feet in the water in Mauritius
Some addresses begin at the waterline: a lagoon you walk into, a marine reserve you can snorkel before breakfast, a beach that belongs to the afternoon. From Pointe d’Esny and Blue Bay in the south to Péreybère and Trou aux Biches in the north, these are the homes where the day is planned around the tide rather than the traffic. Expect shallow, clear water, boat sheds and jetties — and neighbours who know the lagoon by heart.
Qualifying criteria
What puts a home on this page
Not a legal or financial test — a physical one. These are the conditions behind the listings below: water you can walk into from the garden, a lagoon that stays shallow and clear, somewhere to keep a boat, and a shore that still works when the trade wind rises. Where a home meets them, it belongs here.
- Water at the end of the garden
The plot meets the lagoon or the beach directly — no road, no wall and no crossing between the terrace and the water.
- Shallow, clear water
Sand underfoot within a few strokes and water you can stand up in — what makes the lagoon usable every day, not only at high tide.
- A boat shed or a jetty
Somewhere on the plot — or inside the estate — to keep a boat: leaving before breakfast instead of trailering from a car park.
- Reef within swimming distance
A natural pool or a reef line close enough to reach from the shore, with the breakwater holding the bay calm.
- Sheltered when the wind rises
Protected pockets rather than open coast — the bays of the south and the north that stay swimmable through the south-east trade.
