Why Mauritius?

  • Access is easy with direct flights from over 30 international cities

“The financial crisis may be global – but it is not universal,” says the developer, Stephen Aldridge FRICS, Lord of Wavendon, CEO Mordaunt Estates. “Great and successful ventures like this tend to be very simple in their conception but complex in their execution. We have simply scoured the world to find the right environment for our investment in property development and we have been extremely selective in our criteria: a safe and secure, non bureaucratic democracy with low corruption levels, low crime rates and a well educated population; a robust legal system based on British and Napoleonic rule; a stable and well managed economy which is not tied irrevocably to the dollar or sterling credit crisis; a superb climate with excellent IT, communications and flight connections. We were left with a VERY short list, and Mauritius is at the top.”

Situated on the edge of the stunning Black River Gorges National Park in the Mont Blanc valley, the Emerald Heights community is served by the eclectic Trapiche Centre which is richly appointed with boutiques, themed bars and restaurants, gourmet deli and quality food store. The Centre also offers a professionally equipped gym, treatment rooms for massage and therapy, and many leisure and relaxation opportunities.

Owners of properties at Emerald Heights have unlimited access to the five-star facilities of the private Emerald Lagoon Beach Club only 10km away by private shuttle service. The Club offers fine dining, sports lounges, near-Olympic size beachside infinity pool and the revitalising Gems Ayurvedic Spa.

Ownership also qualifies for privilege membership of the world-renowned Mauritius Gymkhana Club, an exceptional 18-hole international course, while the 18-hole par 72 championship course at Chateau du Golf at Bel Ombre is only 12km away by shuttle.

The Emerald Heights’ five-star, 24 hour concierge service provides a range of facilities including global marketing, inventory, rental and accounting services for owners who wish to let their homes, as well as private catering services, transfers and shuttles, secretarial and business support, leisure excursions and reservations.
