With lower entry points and innovative live-work-play concepts, Smart City developments are attracting a new generation of tech-forward investors.

Mauritius' Smart City Scheme has accelerated in 2026, with several new mixed-use developments breaking ground across the island. Pricing below traditional IRS thresholds, combined with integrated live-work-play infrastructure, is opening the residency pathway to a younger and more diverse pool of investors.

The scheme has been particularly successful in attracting tech founders and remote-first professionals who want a base in the Indian Ocean without committing to ultra-prime resort properties.
