Im a student at ADPSSS, I am at my final year and nearing end-of-year exams. That said, im looking for a Job that I can get in the IT department so that I can gain a bit of work experience, get to know how the environment is and mostly because it can be used as a reference for future career.

So, is there any open Job available in the north region, especially in Grand Baie? Im planning to work as of 2nd week of November till February/April.

I received this text message by SMS today. I did order a package from AliExpress and I know it was on its way to Mauritius. Is this message legit or is it a scam?

For someone who lives solely from investment income and travels from country to country, not staying in any one place longer that 90 days, Mauritius seems like an attractive option at first sight because apparently you would only need to stay 90 days per year to maintain tax residency and there is no capital gains tax.

Questions:

1. Is there any nuance to the 90 days per year? I heard you might have to stay 183 days for a year to get a residency card or something?

2. How are foreign dividends taxed?

3. I don't really understand remittances. I assume if you buy something in Mauritius with a foreign bank card, that it a remittance. In practice, do they track that? What else qualifies as a remittance? Online purchases? AirBnB that was prebooked?

4. Money is fungible, so how do they know if you're paying with a foreign dividend you just received, or a capital gain you earned years ago in another country?

5. Is it necessary and/or possible to make separate brokerage accounts to somehow separate the recent dividends from the previously earned income?

6. Anything else I'm not thinking of?

Thank you!

Hello All,

Traveling to Mauritius for the first time for a holiday with a toddler. Plan to do activities like casela, le vanilla, cataraman cruise etc. also plan to go sightseeing in the city one or two days? Should I avoid any areas or anything to be careful about in general? We don’t travel and lot and finally getting a chance so thought of asking fellow redditors.

Thanks 🙏

Hi everyone, my partner and I are planning a honeymoon and looking for a nice hotel/resort in Mauritius.

For those who have done a honeymoon/staycation here as locals, which hotels gave you a genuinely good experience? Mainly looking for good service, friendly staff and a good honeymoon package.

Would love to hear about your experience, especially what you liked or disliked.

Thanks!

I want to order some stuff into the eu from Compuspeed.

Hello,

My fiancé is Hindu Mauritian (although we were both born and raised in London). He does not have much blood family and is no contact with his mum.

He doesn't really know anyone that is Hindu and didn't grow up being taken to temple, but he places a lot of value on Navratri and and Diwali - can anyone provide ideas of things I can do to make this year special for him? I grew up Christian and I'm now atheist so I don't have much knowledge and want to get it right!

Thank you in advance.

3 out of 4 young Mauritians would leave the island if they had the chance. 7 out of 10 who study abroad do not come back.

Govt suggests introducing some incentives - all of them to do with employment. There's probably a lot more reasons beyond employment.

In 2024 I dated a girl my first love, in 2025 we broke up cause i was playing games all day( i realised later) then she dated another guy after me and i was single, i changed myself then to be better then she texted me again, we talked while she was with the other guy, she caught feelings for me again. She was calling me behind his back and i told her to tell him don’t lie to him, she eventually told him and got back with me, i changed i deleted the game we were very happy suddenly she started doing the same thing i understood how i felt, and the recent week she started to get dry no call, leave me on seen and avoid me, she have her ex on snapchat but doesn’t talk to him. I don’t wanna lose her yk like i just wanted to talk to her. Then yesterday she told me she misunderstood her feelings for me she really like me not love, she told me she loves her ex (took her 3 months to tell me that), cause her ex is a great guy, she didn’t see his efforts etc..and never talk back ( i talk back one time) and that he was nice from the beginning, then i told her what abt me? She said im a great guy but it’s too late. She said she was improvement. She told me something, we can call when we want… I don’t know how to answer that. I didn’t block her i just muted her on all apps

Bonjour,

Je compte partir à l’île Maurice fin septembre et je voulais savoir si c’était safe pour une femme seule à Flic-en-Flac ?

Je voulais aussi avoir des conseils sur les activités à faire, quels endroits à visiter pour une touriste, quels restaurants où manger etc. s’il vous plaît.

C’est la première fois que je vais aussi loin toute seule. Je viens de France.

Merci beaucoup 😊

Hi,
Did anyone use Onelife Contruction Co Ltd for residential building(s)?
If so, how was the work delivered?
II don't understand anything with regards to constructions so that's why I am looking to hire a contractor and actually any advise is welcome.
Thanks!

Am i the only one who completely understand french, can read it but just cant communicate at all? I just cannot speak in french and i don’t know how to solve this. It is extremely difficult since in work places, french is widely used and i really want to improve my french. Does anyone have any tips?

I was wondering if anyone has done their UK bar (England & Wales) through the ICCA Bar Course instead of BVS, BTC, BPC, etc., and I'd like some feedback on that.

Hi all, we are moving back to Mauritius permanently and bringing our British Shorthair cat from UK. Has anyone actually been through this process? Would love to know:

**•** How long did it realistically take?  
**•** Any cargo shippers or brokers you’d recommend?  
**•** Any hiccups to watch out for?

Thanks

I recently purchased a shirt from the Tamam Mauritius website and made the payment as instructed. I also sent the payment confirmation via WhatsApp, as their website directs customers to do.

However, I never received any confirmation that my order was received or being processed through the website.

It has now been five days, and despite reaching out several times, I still haven't received any confirmation or update regarding my order. I've tried calling them multiple times, but nobody has answered. I've also contacted them through WhatsApp and their social media accounts, but haven't received a proper response.

At this point, I'm starting to become concerned about whether the business is legitimate or if I've been scammed.

Has anyone here ordered from Tamam Mauritius recently and had a similar experience? Should I give them more time, or would it be reasonable to file a complaint with the relevant authorities?

Any advice or experiences would be appreciated.

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know where I can buy 3% hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) in Mauritius, preferably in 5L gallons?

I need it mainly for cleaning and sanitising hydroponic equipment such as NFT channels, reservoirs, trays and other components.

I've found 50% hydrogen peroxide, but I'd prefer to buy a ready-to-use lower concentration rather than handling such a strong concentrate.

Any local suppliers, shops or contacts you can recommend?

Thanks!

I gotta change my rear camera and i wanted to know if anyone know approximately how much it’s gonna cost on top of the 1k diagnostic fee?I could use an aftermarket module which would cost me 4k but im concerned about loss quality&functionality?any advice or insight would be much appreciated

Hi everyone, any reliable parcel forwarding company that can ship my items from UAE to Mauritius? I once used S&S and it was such a stress..... my items over 10k were thrown due to their negligence.

Thanks.

Hi everyone,

We’ve booked our flights to Mauritius for 23 July to 4 August 2027 (12 nights) and I’m starting to plan accommodation.

We’re a family of 5 – 2 adults and 3 children who will be 13, 12 and 9.

Rather than just booking one resort for the whole trip, I’m considering splitting the holiday between two different parts of Mauritius.

My current thinking is something like:

First 3–5 nights: Airbnb/private villa/apartment with a private or good shared swimming pool, ideally somewhere convenient for exploring and sightseeing.

Remaining 7–9 nights: a really good 4/5-star beachfront resort where we can slow down, snorkel, swim and enjoy the hotel facilities.

For the resort part, our priorities are:

• Beautiful, relatively calm beach and good swimming

• Good snorkelling, ideally accessible directly from the beach

• Multiple/good swimming pools that don't feel ridiculously crowded

• Good activities for children aged 9–13

• Kids/teens club would be a big bonus, particularly if the 12 and 13-year-old can participate together

• Sports/football/watersports

• Good food – halal meat would be ideal, although we're happy eating seafood/vegetarian if necessary

• Family-friendly but not somewhere that feels like a huge, overcrowded kids' waterpark

• Good quality rooms and overall 4/5-star experience

I've been looking particularly at the west/north-west and Le Morne areas, including hotels such as LUX* Le Morne, St Regis/JW Marriott, Sugar Beach, La Pirogue, Hilton Mauritius, Westin Turtle Bay and InterContinental – but I'm completely open to alternatives.

I'd particularly appreciate advice on the first sightseeing part of the holiday.

If we spend around 4 nights in an Airbnb/villa, which area would you base yourselves in?

We'd like to use those days to see the parts of Mauritius that we'd miss by simply staying in a resort – scenery, waterfalls, viewpoints, markets/towns, culture, wildlife/nature, local food etc.

We'd probably hire a car, so I'm less concerned about being directly on a beach during those first few days.

What would you consider the must-see places/experiences for a family on their first visit to Mauritius, and how many days would you realistically allocate to sightseeing before moving to the resort?

I'm especially interested in whether it makes more sense to stay around:

• Grand Baie / north

• Trou aux Biches / north-west

• Flic-en-Flac / west

• Tamarin / Black River

• Somewhere more central

• Or somewhere completely different

And if anyone knows a specific Airbnb, villa or apartment with a pool that you've personally stayed at and would recommend for a family of five, I'd really appreciate the name/link.

Likewise, if you've found particularly good ways of getting discounts on the higher-end resorts – direct hotel offers, early-booking rates, stay X/pay Y offers, UK agents etc. – I'd love to hear about them.

Budget isn't completely fixed yet. I'm more interested in finding the best value/experience combination rather than automatically choosing the cheapest option.

Thanks – particularly interested in advice from Mauritius locals and families who've done a similar split stay.

I am in university right now, i do intend to do a masters but depends heavily on finances. So essentially I'm looking to be entering the labour market with only a B.S.C and from what I've read on google the starting salary for my field is 25 000 - 30 000 rupees. I know a lot of people who earn 30 000 rupees who were able to buy land and build a house and I'm wondering how?????? Everything seems so expensive and it's got me thinking what am i gonna do for housing especially if I end up starting a family. How does it work? How did people with my kind of salary were ever able to achieve these things? I know everyone speaks of loans but even then you have to deposit money for most of them. The answer is i guess "saving" so then how did you save. how much did you save for how many years. ( if you able to either build a house for yourself, or rent on a baseline salary of 25 000 to 30 000) Maybe I'm being cynical but the way I'm calculating even if i save up it's going to very very veryyyy difficult to find housing for myself.

Note: Yes I can stay with parents for the moment while I save but I wont be able to stay for them forever because my house is already crammed and my parents have expressed that they would like me to have my own place and I want that too. I just don't think it's possible is it?

We’re first time Mauritius tourists and visiting the north/east as well as some area round flic en flac. Would you recommend to wear some kind of protection on our feet to go into the ocean? Saw some videos about some kind of fishes that are very harmful/poisenous or at least hurt when you don’t take care. Thanks!

My family is from Mauritius. Both my parents were born in Mauritius but me and sibling were born in England. When we were little my parents didn’t really teach us creole. They’d casually speak it and tell us stuff in creole but wouldn’t have full conversations. They were more focused on teaching us academics and making us do well in school.
So now I’m one of those people who understand creole but can’t speak it. And when I say understand I don’t mean like fluently understand but I’d understand the main points of a conversation in creole. I’ve been to Mauritius a few times I actually went last year and it was really good. But there were times I felt out of place and I wished I didn’t feel that way.
I’m 22 and most of my life I was worried about academics and doing well in my career but the trip last year made me realise I love Mauritius and I’m proud to be Mauritian. But I’m ashamed that I can’t speak creole. That I why I want to learn properly now
I’ve tried to look for resources to help but the videos and stuff online doesn’t really help. Ive tried to use chatgpt but that isn’t really good.
If anyone has any advice of ways I can learn I would appreciate it.
I know speaking would probably be the best way but I am shy and when my parents speak to me in creole I usually response in English😅
