Letting in Mauritius
Rules and licensing
Short-term letting requires a tourist accommodation certificate from the Tourism Authority, and non-citizens may only buy property through approved schemes such as PDS, above a minimum value.
Tourist tax
VAT applies to accommodation, plus a small environment protection fee per night.
How the year is shaped
Peak from October to April for beach weather; the European winter is high season. January to March is cyclone season.
Who books here
Families and couples on seven to fourteen nights, usually with a rental car. Proximity to a swimmable lagoon beach is what sells.
Short-term rental rules change often and can differ by district, and building or condominium rules may restrict letting regardless of what the city permits. Treat this as orientation, not legal advice, and confirm the current position with the local authority before letting.
