Mauritius, a premier tourist haven, has now firmly established itself as a prime real estate destination, especially with the rise of branded residences, also known as “hotel residences.” Over the past decade the tourism sector has seen rapid growth, particularly in Mauritius. This surge in tourism now has the hotel groups adding apartments and villas and these are made available to buyers who want to invest in the sector. Factors, including the strong brand association that boosts buyer confidence, appealing especially to globally-mobile, busy individuals seeking high service standards, hassle-free ownership, and the strong rental returns is driving market interest. Hotel operators benefit from additional accommodation especially aimed at families wanting more than just a hotel room and this increases revenue streams.
Understanding hotel residences
Typically, hotel residences are a collaborative venture between a hotel operator and a developer. The hotel brand licenses the developer to market and sell residences integrated with their hotel that carry their brand. These residences are usually on a plot of land in the hotel grounds and sold to private individuals or entities who can either use the property themselves or rent it out through the hotel’s rental scheme, provided the property meets the specified furniture and fitting standards.
Investing in hotel residences offers numerous benefits to homeowners, including:
- Superior services and amenities
- Strong brand association, perceived as a safer investment
- Turnkey, high-quality fit-out
- Convenience of lock-up-and-leave
- All the hotel facilities and great beachfront amenities
- Investment potential and rental income returns
- Professional management
