Room for the life you bring to Mauritius.

Gemstone at The Essence brings together Jade, Topaz and Garnet: three substantial villas designed around the pleasures of a private home. Four en-suite bedrooms give family and guests their own space. Living and dining rooms extend towards the terrace, while the pool and garden create a setting for unhurried days outdoors.

Trou aux Biches places that privacy within reach of the beach and the north coast's everyday amenities. For a principal home, a seasonal base or a residence shared across generations, the attraction is tangible: room to gather, room to withdraw and a house that can accommodate both.

The design concept

Privacy, with the space to welcome people in.

Gemstone at The Essence is shaped as a collection of three individual homes, each with its own pool and garden. The architecture brings daily life towards the outdoors: dining can extend onto the terrace, while the bedroom suites give everyone a quieter place to retreat. It is a setting conceived for both time together and time entirely your own.

Four en-suite bedrooms, a main kitchen and a separate preparation kitchen support a home that is used throughout the year. The lower level adds practical space, including parking and staff accommodation. Detailed finishes and optional cinema or cellar installations should be checked against the specification for the residence you choose.

For overseas buyers

Buying from abroad,
with a team on the ground.

For an overseas buyer, a compelling villa is only part of the decision. The ownership structure, payment terms, specification and complete acquisition cost deserve the same attention as the house itself. Tropical Riviera International Realty helps you bring those details together before you reserve.

Foreign purchases under the Property Development Scheme require the relevant approvals. A qualifying acquisition of at least USD 375,000 can support a residence-permit application; the permit is linked to continued ownership and applicable conditions. Review the Economic Development Board guidance and discuss your circumstances with our team.

  1. Choose the right residence

    Discuss your intended use, preferred layout and timetable. We request the current availability and documents for the villa you are considering.

  2. Review the complete proposal

    Bring together the plans, price, optional upgrades, payment schedule and acquisition costs. Clarify the specification before making a commitment.

  3. Coordinate the acquisition

    We liaise with the relevant parties and your appointed local professionals to support the reservation, approval and notarial stages.

Commercial terms

The payment plan, clearly set out.

Request the current written offer for your selected villa before making a commitment. We will ask for its price, reservation amount, payment milestones and due dates, together with the specification and any separately priced options. You can then review the proposal alongside the applicable acquisition costs with your appointed advisers.

Terms may differ by residence and agreement. Tropical Riviera International Realty can help you compare the written schedule with the plans and construction status, so you know what is due, when it is due and which documents govern the purchase.
