Situated on the south west coast near the world-famous Le Morne Heritage Site, and considered the most beautiful and unspoilt area on the island, Domaine de Bel Ombre celebrates its colonial history and sugar plantation heritage.

Development in this region is planned sensitively to protect the natural beauty of the region, yet it is the fastest growing resort destination on the island, offering a collection of luxury hotels and with new low-rise resorts along the coast such as the world-renowned Shanti Ananda. Villas Valriche also forms part of this breathtaking Domaine.

The old sugar factory at the heart of the development is being converted into a leisure, crafts and shopping centre, with cafes and patisseries. The vibrant town of Black River is just 30 minutes' drive to the west and the capital Port Louis with all its shops, restaurants and markets, about 60 minutes to the north.

Convenient for the airport, the vibrant town of Black River is just over 20 minutes drive to the west, with Port Louis and all its shops, restaurants and markets about 60 minutes to the north.

This is truly the perfect location for a tropical home.

Buying property in Mauritius is especially rewarding as the island offers a unique range of benefits that make it a natural destination in which to own a home. Enjoying political and economic stability and a high standard of living, Mauritius is a melting pot of cultures, traditions and customs, each molded by a blend of Indian, Chinese, African and European influences as well as a strong colonial history. Mauritians are renowned for their genuine warmth and hospitality towards foreigners.

Buying property in Mauritius is rewarding in another sense too, as the acquisition of a villa for residential purposes by a foreigner under the Integrated Resort Scheme will allow the foreigner and his/her dependant family to reside in Mauritius as long as he or she retains ownership.

Villas sold under the IRS scheme must form part of an approved development of villas, built to international standards, with world class amenities and facilities. The minimum selling price of a villa is set at $500,000 and the maximum extent of the land is limited to 0.5276 hectares (1.32 acres). A villa can be acquired off-plan or during the construction phase. Villas Valriche will incorporate an Ownership Association to manage, security, maintenance and estate management.
