Designed by Jugaad and dressed by Beautiful Mess, the 3 and 4-bedroom villas (353.71 to ~446 m²) line up 68 m²-plus cathedral living rooms, 44 m² private pools, private lifts and Italian marble — within a masterplanned estate with strict rules: footprint capped at 25%, underground infrastructure, centuries-old tamarinds preserved.
For the buyer, the programme falls under the PDS: full freehold, a residence permit from USD 375,000, and Mauritian taxation — 0% capital gains, 0% inheritance tax and a personal income scale of 0/10/20%. Only six villas: this page details features, pricing and process.
Six Villas on the Heights of Black River
On the hills of Domaine de Palmyre, Peak Panorama lines up six contemporary villas before a 180° panorama — UNESCO-listed Le Morne Brabant, the west coast lagoon and the Black River Gorges. A boutique address, designed for the view.
Modern Volumes Folded into the Hillside
Designed by architecture firm Jugaad, renowned for elegantly integrating contemporary volumes into their surroundings, the villas deploy full-height glazing, generous terraces and natural materials — stone, timber, Italian marble. Interiors are composed by the Beautiful Mess design studio.
Le Morne, the Lagoon and the Gorges in Cinemascope
Every villa is oriented to maximise the panorama: from Le Morne Brabant — a UNESCO World Heritage site — across the lagoon waters to the ridges of the Black River Gorges. The 68 m²-plus living room and the 44 m² pool extend the view to the horizon.
A Cathedral of Light, Marble and Timber
Beneath exposed beams, the open living spaces run from marble-island kitchen to dining and cross-ventilated lounge. Suites with dressing rooms, Italian marble bathrooms, freestanding bathtubs and a private lift — the finish level of a signature residence.
A Masterplanned Estate, Built to Last
Domaine de Palmyre is an exceptional master plan on the west coast: 364 lots, building footprint capped at 25%, centuries-old tamarind trees preserved, underground infrastructure, 24/7 security and a clubhouse with shared gym and pool. Strict architectural guidelines protect the value of every villa.
