On Facebook type/search, "salsa Maurice" and go from there. Read More

Go west , shirk the rest ... But seriously, Black river district, hiking, Watersports, still developing nicely lots of expats both West & North. Read More

Hi, Ive been messaged that a couple of people are not able to find the new Facebook page mentioned in my recent post in this thread. Once logged into your own Facebook account simply type into the search box, British Expats in Mauritius It ... Read More

Hi everyone. Going forwards the new community Facebook Group, "British Expats in Mauritius" was put live Yesterday. The group is created for British Expats living in Mauritius. Posts by all members of the group are only shared/seen ... Read More

Hi, Pleased to make aware to all British expats who now live in Mauritius (or intend to) a new Facebook community page entitled "British Expats in Mauritius" is online. It is currently open to likes and follows but in the near future, ... Read More

If I may add to WinstonH reply to your enquiry, having formerly qualified as a therapeutic counseller (and was also a former RMN [registered Mental Nurse] in the UK) if I've read your info properly, simply having a broad based first degree in ... Read More

I windsurf all over, Anse la Raie, Le Morne, Pte Desny plus other "less known spots" on the Island. 馃槑馃弰 East based. However since this thread is more to do with Brit expats network/connecting perhaps I can add if anyone has ... Read More

Hi Nick512, It's windsurfing I do and not kitesurfing. Both great Watersports but quite different. Mauritius is a great place for both. Regards Danny. Read More

Hi Frostbelle, I've just seen your suggestion regarding a Whatsapp group (after posting my last post minutes ago). Great idea. I will pm you. (I will still look into the Facebook page item too as another option ref/source of interest that can ... Read More

Hi all, apologies (especially to Samantha) I mentioned I was going to fire up a Facebook page specific for Brit expats but got taken out with troubling news regarding my mothers health (but shes ok for now) Ive been super busy occupied with my ... Read More

Hi Samantha, apologies I've only just picked up this thread again. Okay, I will look into setting up a Facebook page at least and send you the link to it when done. Hopefully by then you may have heard something back by then regarding this ... Read More

Forgot to mention that there is a small group of British expats around the grand Baie area in the North, who I've not yet met. They set up regular coffee meets through the expats.com (Mauritius) Facebook page. Perhaps a Facebook page could be ... Read More

Hi Islander, Born, schooled, worked etc all life Essex, UK until 20 months ago when I relocated here. Although My family background is of Local Mauritian Parents, they returned here many years ago while I remained UK. I'm on the east of the ... Read More

Hi Sophie, Just watched your YouTube video 'is Mauritius the right Move for you ...." and was pleasantly surprised how informative it was. Overall it gives a pretty good take on Mauritius from the useful areas you focus on. I think ... Read More

Hi like you I had a gap before I saw the island again (though my gap was less at 11 years approx, I've now lived here since August 2016) but adding to Winstons comment the Island has also had its economic growth spurt and associated ... Read More

Hi, weekend before this one was great to meet again Gene, Patricia & Leslie Jarrett. On the off chance I turned up Saturday morning at cafe Tidez (before moving on to my afternoon meet at Le morne) and had a pleasant coffee chat with all. Hope ... Read More

Think gsilemaurice puts it fairly well... I think too that careful selection of region/location of where you decide to live, North, east, west or south of the island can make a large difference. Most expats from what I gather are most concentrated ... Read More

Hey Raff, I've just seen your post and the thread replies to it. I'm originally from UK (you can see my profile bio) and have been here one year but know the island from many former visits here and my parental plus extended family are all ... Read More

Great to meet Gene78, Tapan, Mattias, Hayley, Patricia today at Tidez. A very pleasant coffee meet. Hope to catch up again soon (I'm often passing that way on Saturdays) Regards Danny Read More

Thanks for the clarify reply... 馃榾 Read More

Hi, Wasn't sure on your comment "international meet up" referred to the expat meet up coffee group or another unrelated group? Was thinking of dropping in too for coffee intro if it's still on ? Regards Danny Read More

My situation is a little different, as I am now in Mauritius, from UK, for the foreseeable future owing to both parents needing my presence here to look after them rather than it being a planned location retirement choice for me. (They, my Mauritian ... Read More

Hi Gene78, Thank you for replying, enjoy France. Read More

Arrived, but no one around (was very short notice as it is) so will hope to meet next time. Read More

If anyone is at cafe Tidez, at Flic en flacq this morning I will look in around 10am. I'm passing by on route to Le morne so won't be too long at the cafe but it's an opportunity for me to meet you, if anyone from the coffee group is ... Read More

Interesting question as motor homes seem a supercomfortable way to explore anywhere including Mauritius, especially the beaches and with family. They would surely provide added bonus with elderly or handicapped parents/family that mobility ... Read More

"DUAL NATIONALITY" Leslie Jarrett, I would add to Matt4509, Daisy and Nadeems replies on dual British/Mauritian Nationality. I have both and as far as I'm aware (unless things have changed since I last knew, admitting I've not ... Read More

Well I got directed to this thread by an email notification sent out by the super cute Pricilla (at least her thumbnail profile looks very cute) on qualifications in Mauritius. Well, lucky for me I don't have a need to work here (at least not ... Read More

Tinauk... That's a real shame and smacks of the somewhat backward thinking of this islands Established culture. With a population that has many people looking for decent work it's perhaps not surprising such things as 'unstated' ... Read More

Lizzie P, that's a shame but sadly a valid and stern warning which you've rightly highlighted. It is not uncommon for such occurances in Mauritius and the trust item should be "don't trust" until or unless you have really taken ... Read More

Lelie Jarrett, that's a very useful amount of information. I would say spot on. I agree on highlighting caution of buying 2nd hand vehicles as its true it is a gamble buying into a cars history inMauritius that you don't really know. ... Read More

Hi GENE78, I missed your message earlier, but did go to Tidez, luckily I met Leslie Jarret and introduced myself and we had a bit of a natter and a coffee. I will look in again on the Saturday coffee morning when I pass by that way. As I live on ... Read More

If the Saturday morning group will be at Cafe Tidez 27 May? I hope to look in and meet. Once again I'm passing by flic en flac on route south west of the island. Read More

Hi Cesar, did you make it to Mauritius? I've been here around 8 months (from UK) although not yet got around to meeting any expats but hope to do so soon (I've been integrating with the Mauritian community until now and getting set up here). ... Read More

Hi Genevieve, much appreciate the reply. I'm afraid since my earlier message I will have to defer the meet to a later date. I'm on a tight schedule Saturday morning passing through west coast on route to Le Morne and am required to be there ... Read More

Leslie Jarret, for the expats Saturday morning coffee meet at Cafe Tidez is there easy / ample car parking space nearby? if you are about this Saturday 29th Apr I might look in quickly and say hello, but am on route somewhere else so it would be a ... Read More

Might be a good idea the kitesurfing as that is much more accesible. Note there are Ministry level discussions to restrict kitesurfing to just 3 beaches in Mauritius. Discussions are still on about it. The 3 locations: Le Morne, Anse la Raie, Pte ... Read More

Hi I'm a proficient windsurfer, (dabbled with surfing longboard but wouldn't say I can surf), however this question was asked me by a UK friend of a friend who is honeymooning Mauritius September. I asked a local surfer and this was his ... Read More
