Mont Choisy Group CEO Vincent Hardy discusses smart cities, sustainable development, and why Mauritius is increasingly attracting global investors seeking more than a second home.
What are Mont Choisy Group’s main business activities?
The group operates across four core business pillars that support our long-term vision of building an integrated and sustainable ecosystem in the north of Mauritius.
The first is property development, which remains central to our activities. Through our smart city and integrated development strategy, we are creating mixed-use communities that combine residential, commercial, retail, healthcare, leisure, and lifestyle components within a carefully planned environment.
The second pillar is agriculture. Alongside sugarcane cultivation, we are exploring more sustainable and technology-driven farming practices in response to the environmental and water challenges facing the northern region of the island.
The third is our commercial and asset management cluster. The group owns and manages strategic commercial assets, including a shopping mall and a medical clinic operated under a long-term lease agreement with C-Care, a leading regional healthcare operator. This segment provides stable recurring income while supporting the wider ecosystem.
The fourth pillar is leisure and lifestyle. This includes our championship golf course, which hosts international tournaments such as DP World Tour and Sunshine Tour events, as well as equestrian facilities and other lifestyle amenities that strengthen Mont Choisy’s positioning as a premium destination.
How has the market responded to Mont Choisy’s developments?
The response has been highly encouraging, reflecting both the strength of our offering and growing confidence in Mauritius as an investment destination.
During the Covid-19 period, we sold 159 serviced plots to the local market in just eleven days. Internationally, more than 150 premium residential plots within our golf estate were sold within three months, demonstrating strong demand for integrated lifestyle developments. Over the past 12 to 24 months, many of these investments have appreciated significantly, with some properties nearly doubling in value. This reflects both the resilience of the Mauritius property market and investor confidence in Mont Choisy’s long-term vision.
Building on this momentum, we are expanding our commercial and retail offering along the Boulevard while working with strategic partners and co-developers to create a balanced ecosystem that supports both international investors and local entrepreneurs.
“The question today is: if you could live anywhere in the world, where would you choose to live?”
Mauritius is attracting increasing international attention. How does that benefit Mont Choisy and the wider economy?
Mauritius has gained growing recognition as a trusted destination for business, investment, and lifestyle, creating opportunities for both Mont Choisy Group and the wider economy.
For Mont Choisy, this translates into increasing interest from international investors, entrepreneurs, and professionals seeking a stable, well-regulated environment in which to live, work, and invest. Increasingly, many are choosing Mauritius not simply as a second-home destination but as their primary place of residence.
This trend has accelerated as greater workplace flexibility and digital connectivity allow people to live and work from almost anywhere. Mauritius’ combination of political stability, safety, connectivity, climate, and quality of life continues to attract international families and business owners.
As more residents settle permanently, they contribute to the economy by employing people, starting businesses, using local services, and paying taxes. What often begins as a property investment evolves into long-term economic and social value creation.
Investors are not only evaluating developments themselves. They are also assessing a country’s institutions, stability, regulatory framework, and ease of doing business. It is therefore essential for Mauritius to continue strengthening its international reputation and maintaining a competitive, investor-friendly environment.
