The West Coast

Situated on the west coast of the island, Tamarin and Black River have long been popular with both expats and locals alike. Being a lot more residential and quieter, the west coast is a favourite with small families and couples and is ideally situated for those travelling into the centre of the island on a daily basis. Tamarin boasts a large array of grocery stores and other desirable shopping outlets, including a large new hypermarket centre, as well as various smaller boutique stores.​​​​​​​

The North Coast

Grande Baie, on the northern-most coast of the island, is a cosmopolitan and vibrant area, frequented by both long-term residents and tourists alike. Being a popular residential area for both single people and families, it offers a large variety of choice, as well as all the amenities one could want, such as two large shopping complexes, as well as numerous smaller boutique stores. Like the west coast, it is well situated for travelling into Port Louis and the centre of the island on a daily basis.

Take a day to drive around and look at what the various residential areas have to offer before making up your mind on where to settle.
