1. Would you start by introducing 2Futures and explaining its mission as one of Mauritius’ leading luxury real estate developers?
2Futures was established in Mauritius in 2007 and has grown to become the island’s leading luxury real estate developer. We specialize in world-class residential, hospitality, and mixed-use developments, having delivered 19 projects so far, around 750 apartments and villas, with another 200 under construction across various regions of Mauritius.
Our focus is on the premium market segment, crafting projects that blend tropical design, modern comfort, and sustainability. Many of our developments are designed as apartment hotels or serviced residences, often linked to hotel ecosystems so that residents can access hospitality facilities. This creates a branded resort lifestyle that sets us apart as lifestyle creators rather than just builders.
Our mission is to elevate Mauritius’ property market to international standards and to offer global investors exceptional lifestyle and investment opportunities.
2. 2Futures has played a major role in shaping Mauritius’ premium real estate market. How do your developments contribute to the island’s appeal as a lifestyle and investment destination?
We see ourselves as creating lifestyle destinations rather than just residential complexes. A great example is Les Résidences de Mont Choisy, an apartment hotel in the Grand Baie–Mont Choisy region, attached to Le Domaine de Grand Baie hotel, complete with a restaurant, spa, and private beach club open to residents and the public.
We’re now expanding this concept through projects like La Pirogue Residences, developed in partnership with the La Pirogue and Sugar Beach Hotels, and another at Trou aux Biches within the Casuarina and Le Cardinal hotels. These projects are designed under the Property Development Scheme (PDS) and the Ground +2 framework, enabling foreign investment and offering a branded resort experience that appeals to both residents and short- or long-term visitors.
This model, common in places like Dubai, is still new in Mauritius, but it’s transforming our market by blending hotel-quality amenities with the comfort of a home.
3. Mauritius has become a magnet for foreign investors and expatriates through frameworks like the Property Development Scheme and Smart City initiatives. How is 2Futures leveraging these schemes?
These frameworks, PDS, Smart City, and Ground +2, are crucial to Mauritius’ attractiveness as an investment destination, as they allow foreigners to purchase property legally. Every 2Futures project falls under one of these schemes.
We work closely with the Economic Development Board (EDB) to ensure full compliance and transparency. Every foreign buyer undergoes a verification and authorization process, giving them complete confidence. Over nearly two decades, we’ve adapted to evolving regulations, from IRS and RES to today’s PDS and Ground +2 regimes.
Moreover, these schemes come with significant lifestyle and residency benefits. For instance, a real estate investment of USD 375,000 or more under an approved scheme grants the buyer and their dependents a Mauritian residence permit for as long as they own the property. This makes Mauritius exceptionally appealing for high-net-worth individuals and families seeking both stability and lifestyle.
4. Your portfolio includes some of Mauritius’ most prestigious projects. Could you highlight a few that best reflect 2Futures’ philosophy and long-term vision?
La Pirogue Residences is a flagship project. It’s a PDS development within the La Pirogue and Sugar Beach Hotels, managed by Sun Life, offering residents access to hotel facilities and a rental pool arrangement. It showcases our emphasis on design innovation, material quality, and sustainability.
Another key project is Infinity by the Sea in Les Salines, Black River, an oceanfront development with panoramic views of Le Morne and a 60-meter pool. It embodies our philosophy of blending tropical architecture with modern elegance.
Then there’s The Essence at Trou aux Biches, developed within the Casuarina and Le Cardinal hotel ecosystem, and Résidence Premium Pierre & Vacances Île Maurice in Bain Boeuf, our first project to pursue dual environmental certifications (EDGE and Green Key).
These developments set new benchmarks for quality, sustainability, and lifestyle integration in Mauritius.
5. Sustainability and eco-conscious design are increasingly central to real estate worldwide. How does 2Futures incorporate these principles?
Sustainability is a cornerstone of our strategy. All our projects feature on-site sewage treatment plants that recycle grey water for landscaping, essential in maintaining Mauritius’ tropical greenery. We use solar water heaters, high-efficiency air conditioning and lighting systems, and are integrating photovoltaic panels in upcoming developments.
Our designs are environmentally responsive, taking into account orientation, ventilation, and materials that harmonize with the surroundings. The Résidence Premium Pierre & Vacances Île Maurice project exemplifies this, it will be the first residential development in Mauritius to receive both EDGE and Green Key certifications. This reflects our belief that luxury and environmental responsibility can, and must, coexist.
6. Mauritius’ climate, stability, and connectivity make it an attractive hub for Gulf-based investors. How do you see partnerships with the GCC evolving?
There’s tremendous potential for deeper collaboration with Gulf-based investors. Mauritius is only a six-hour flight from the Gulf and shares a similar time zone. The island’s political stability, cultural diversity, and safety make it an easy fit for Middle Eastern investors and families.
Gulf investors are increasingly seeking diversification, and Mauritius offers a unique blend of lifestyle and returns, luxury assets, stable governance, and a predictable yield environment. For many, it’s becoming a “plan B” destination offering security, tax efficiency, and residency advantages within a peaceful, tropical setting.
Mauritius offers an exceptional liveability dividend, anchored by a moderate, appealing climate that is an important consideration and a critical differentiator for investors, particularly those in the Gulf region.We’re already seeing growing interest from the UAE and beyond, and we welcome partnerships that align with our vision for sustainable, long-term value creation.
7. What factors continue to drive real estate demand in Mauritius, and how is 2Futures adapting to changing buyer expectations?
Demand is underpinned by Mauritius’ robust legal and financial systems. Property transactions are governed by the French civil code and notarized for security. Completion guarantees and due diligence from the EDB ensure buyers’ confidence.
Our banking system is strong, and strict anti-money-laundering rules maintain a clean investment environment. Meanwhile, demand for rental accommodation is growing, with nearly half of tourists choosing serviced apartments and villas over hotels.
2Futures adapts by offering turnkey residences with flexible usage, owners can live in them, rent them short-term, or join a rental pool. The yield averages around 5–6%, and many of our projects see capital growth of 35–60% from launch to completion.
8. Beyond development, you also offer property management and rental services. How does this enhance your clients’ experience?
Most of our international buyers use their properties only a few weeks a year, so we manage the rest. Our property management and rental services ensure peace of mind, steady returns, and hotel-level service standards.
This integrated approach allows clients to enjoy ownership without operational hassle. It’s part of our full-service commitment, offering not just real estate but a complete, worry-free lifestyle.
9. Finally, what message would you like to share with Khaleej Times readers about Mauritius and 2Futures as an investment destination?
Mauritius stands out as a politically stable democracy with a bilingual population, a sophisticated financial sector, and a high standard of living. It’s the most peaceful country in Sub-Saharan Africa, and its property sector has been the top recipient of FDI for years, around 70% of inflows.
For Gulf investors, Mauritius offers the perfect trio: luxury assets, stability, and strong returns, within a safe, tax-efficient jurisdiction. Investing here provides not only financial rewards but also an exceptional lifestyle dividend.
As for 2Futures, we are proud to be at the forefront of this transformation, delivering projects that combine elegance, sustainability, and long-term value. We invite investors to see Mauritius not just as an investment, but as a home, a place where life, work, and leisure coexist in perfect balance.
