Having been Cape Town villa rental specialists for 8 years, we have now proudly expanded our portfolio to include an enticing selection of beachfront properties on the idyllic tropical island of Mauritius, another of the world's great holiday destinations.

With its year round tropical climate, white sandy beaches and warm, turquoise Indian Ocean waters, Mauritius is everyone's dream island holiday destination. Renowned for its incredible natural beauty and the friendly, relaxed welcome of its people, Mauritius also offers a wealth of sporting and other activities to keep you entertained if the daily grind of sunbathing and swimming ever becomes too much! For the more energetic, there are many water sports available on the island, including deep sea fishing, diving and kite surfing and Mauritius also has great golf courses, as well as opportunities for horse riding along the beaches and hiking through virgin forest past steep waterfalls in the lush mountain interiors.

The Mauritian people combine a rich mix of cultures from India, China, Africa and Europe which makes this a fascinating island to explore and experience. There are plenty of cultural, historical and other sights to visit, such as the bustling markets and colonial buildings of the capital Port Louis and the landscaped calm of the Pamplemousses Botanical gardens and the cultural diversity of the island also expresses itself in the delicious local Mauritian cuisine and lively nightlife.         

The Cape Portfolios team recently visited Mauritius and viewed over 40 established holiday rental properties and hotels from which we have made a selection which we will be featuring on our web site very soon. These will range from more traditional styled, simply furnished Mauritian houses that offer tremendous value for families and groups of friends right up to extremely exclusive, fully staffed private villas within a luxury hotel complex or even on your own private island!

By staying in your own private house or villa on Mauritius, we will invite you to experience the island in a very different way to the more standard resort hotel experience. Most of all, wherever you stay, luxuriate in the magical experience of stepping from the terraced patio of your house through your palm-fringed garden straight onto your own little stretch of golden sand and into the sea!

But also enjoy the freedom and flexibility of planning as much or as little as you want to do each day, whether it's a short drive along the coast to eat freshly caught seafood in a local restaurant or to head inland to explore the verdant interior. Shop for good value, fresh local produce to cook at home when you feel like it or you can often enjoy an excellent local meal of fish or curry prepared by your friendly Mauritian housekeeper.

You will be soon able to view our full selection of properties in Mauritius at the following link.
