At Flic en Flac, on the west coast, La Pirogue Residences achieves a first: setting 45 freehold residences at the heart of two of the island's iconic resorts — La Pirogue and Sugar Beach, operated by Sunlife, one of Mauritius' largest hotel groups. Owners live in the resorts' gardens, with the beach at the foot of the residences.
The programme, co-developed by 2Futures, Ciel Properties and Sunlife, comprises 18 two-bedroom apartments (160.35 m²), 19 three-bedroom (200.35 m²) and 8 four-bedroom penthouses (391.80 m²), around a 430 m² pool with pool bar and concierge. The Sunlife rental pool turns each residence into a hotel asset: income at resort rates, with 60 nights a year reserved for your own use.
At $499,000 entry, it is the island's most accessible resort-residence model — above the USD 375,000 threshold, hence eligible for the residence permit — with Mauritian taxation: 0% capital gains, 0% inheritance tax and a personal income scale of 0/10/20%.
Living between Two Legendary Resorts
On the west coast, at Flic en Flac, La Pirogue Residences sets 45 homes at the heart of the La Pirogue and Sugar Beach resorts — Sunlife's iconic addresses. Owners live on the beach, with two hotels as an extension of their living room.
Two Resorts, One Postcard Beach
The residences open onto the facilities of both Sunlife resorts: restaurants, pools, Cinq Mondes spa, tennis, water sports and kids' club. Flic en Flac beach — one of the island's longest — begins at the foot of the gardens.
Apartments and Penthouses in the Gardens
18 two-bedroom apartments (160.35 m²), 19 three-bedroom (200.35 m²) and 8 four-bedroom penthouses (391.80 m²) — nestled in landscaped gardens around a 430 m² pool with pool bar and concierge.
Hotel Income, 60 Nights for You
The Sunlife-managed rental programme places your residence in the hotel inventory: the operator rents it to its clientele, you receive the income and keep 60 nights a year for your own use — the resort-residence model in its most accomplished form.
2Futures, Ciel Properties and Sunlife
The programme unites three Mauritian signatures: 2Futures, the luxury developer of the north and west coasts; Ciel Properties, the property arm of the CIEL group; and Sunlife, one of the island's largest hotel groups, operator of La Pirogue and Sugar Beach.

PDS, Full Freehold & the Mauritian Residence Permit

- Full freehold ownershipForeign buyers obtain a full freehold title, with no resale restriction and full repatriation of capital and rental income.
- Residence permit from $375,000A qualifying purchase grants a renewable residence permit for the owner and family, valid for as long as the property is held — the $499K two-bedrooms qualify.
- Tax residencySpending more than 183 days a year in Mauritius confers tax resident status — unlocking a personal scale capped at 20% (0/10/20%) and the absence of capital gains, inheritance and wealth taxes.
- Regulated off-plan (VEFA)Mauritian off-plan sales require a financial completion guarantee and regulated staged payments (25/10/35/25/5) — a framework inherited from French law.
