Thank you for the great content. Your videos are really helping. This is definitely the next holiday destination for our family and hopefully one day a place we may even come to live.
Hi Lucy thank you for wonderful & informative videos, we visited Mauritius 2 weeks ago (may 2023 ) we had a fantastic time & look forward to coming again soon. Once again thanks for all your hard work which made our holiday a memorable one .
Finding your videos very helpful and informative!! Well done!! - They 100% helped us pick out our holiday destination for next year. Hopefully restrictions won't be in place! And will keep coming back to your videos for the great content in the meantime.
Your videos are of such a high quality in terms of content / visuals / editing / logic etc. It was a great testimonial for anyone considering Mauritius as a new home. I hope to visit soon.
Thanks so much Ross for saying this. I must admit that lately TH-cam has felt like a chore and I have considered giving up many times. It’s really hard work, but comments like this make it worth while. 😃
@@LucyLeheilleix Maybe take a break if you are tired. That way you may come back energised and brimming with with renewed inspiration : ) If you were looking for ideas for videos you could ask your viewers .... Just a thought.
The best climates are in the region of Vacoas. Vacoas is neither too hot nor too cold. It's the best. The north is pretty hot during summer - so for those who dont like very warm termperatures , you shld opt for the Plaine Wilhems . Then when you want to go to beaches, you may just travel there ... takes around 30 -45min to get to flic en flac from vacoas
@@learnmauritiancreole9337 Can you help me with this question. When I research Mauritius for the best place to live, the East Coast like Beau Champ, Ile aux Cerf, Trou d' Eau seldom come up. Is there any reason for this. What is the weather like on this side?
@@JohnSmith-zo6ir Well ile aux cerfs is just a tourist attraction small island ( its just besides mauritius , considered a part of it ) we go there only for a half day tour like.. it's for tourist tours only. not for living.
@@JohnSmith-zo6ir as fro beau champ, i've never really been there so i cant tell you exactly.. it's a touristic area from what i know ..and beautiful place to be. normally the coastal regions always tend to be the warmer regions as compared to the centre of mauritius.. because the centre is on higherland surface.
I'm embarrassed to say that I have never heard of this island until yesterday and I thought I was familiar with all the countries (islands) in Africa. So, when I met someone who lived there-I had to do my research. Wow, breathtaking!
I'm also embarrassed on your behalf because well let's face everybody should know basic geography.. I guess it's not your fault if you're from the United States blame your president government for not teaching anything that people need to actually know about the world.
@@elixier33 I am sure we were taught it and I just forgot. There are nearly 200 countries in the world. I don't remember them all. Thanks for your concern though.
Someone wrote " I'm cold here in Melbourne" !! I laughed to death 🤣 Here's in Toronto Canada -5C is comfortable with me. Of course, it happens to -30C , -40C.
I'm British Mauritian. My first reason is always the climate! I love being near the beach. I feel very lucky to be living here as we are free to do what we want. Only downside it's a bit expensive.
Great videos, I’m cold here in Melbourne. 17c in Curepipe in Winter would be a breeze 😂. Can’t wait to come and visit and if all goes well retire back there. I’m missing this island more and more. Cheers and stay safe.
Hey Lucy! Great video as always (best Mauritius-focused content here so far). Would it be possible to get your husband in front of the camera for his impressions on the work life on Mauritius? Cheers! :)
Brilliant Lucy ,such a good ad for Mauritius.I have a different reason as I am a retired Art teacher ,over the age of 75 years and a Vlogger.For me,the main attraction is the beauty of the landscape .The ethnic mix is charming and Mauritians I have met speak beautifully,as you speak.So please Lucy, where did you learn to speak so well?
Hi Kerry! Please send me a link to your vlogging work. I agree, the ethnic mix is great here. I grew up partly in England and South Africa and went to film school. I have worked for many years in the film and tv industry. Perhaps that’s where I get my knowledge. Keep well!
@@LucyLeheilleix Thanks Lucy, if you click on the small circular photo to the left of my comments to you you will go straight to my TH-cam channel. Your career choice is perfect for your Mauritius Island Adventures.
Don't let yourself be fooled by the SAFETY in Mauritius. Per percentage of population, it's one of the most dangerous island in the world! The daily thefts, robberies, muggings are not published in the newspapers, the only ones published are the tips of the iceberg! The touristic "areas" may be safe, but the people in city or rural areas have to hide themselves in their houses, afraid to go outside on the roads in front of their homes to watch the moon and the stars! In fear of muggings and thieves!
Hi Lucy, you have a great content and thanks for all videos. Since Mauritius is a popular wedding destination, maybe one day you would want to highlight in your video some favourite resorts / places in Mauritius for weddings. Just an idea. Thank you.
@@LucyLeheilleix it doesn't have proper coverage in instagram or youtube. I have checked so many hotel pages in instagram in Mauritius, hoping to see some proper pics/videos examples of weddings on hotel premises and in their venues, but found only bits and pieces. Nothing clear. A lot of photoshop and guessing games.
@@LucyLeheilleix I've been watching your video since 1hr now, you are doing a wonderful job especially covering back then the wakashio disaster much love
Good luck Jennifer, open your 👁️👁️eyes and be very careful in Mauritius! Don't totally believe Lucy, her reports are one sided, surely she gets royal attention in Mauritius!
Great video, thank you. I've been looking for a place to retire and never thought of Mauritius. However, last week it came up in a search as an alternative to Bali and I've found there is a good investment visa on offer. I'll definitely be researching this more.
I presently live in UAE and I thought I wouldn't be safe anywhere else, but thanks to your video I definitely am pulled to Mauritius. One question comes to mind is whether or not I'd find a job there as an admin assistant (launch a video on jobs in Mauritius). Bisous!
You are not forced but when you intend to work here you mostly have to be vaccinated unless you work from home. For tourists it has also changed in the meantime. No vaccination anymore, just a test. Some restaurants still have restrictions and you still have to wear the mask, but I'm confident that this as well will change soon.
Hi Thank you for making this video We’re moving there next month. One question while we packing. 😁Do you think we can buy dual air fryer cooking pot in Mauritius? Thanks 😊
I’ll also add that since Covid, many routes have changed. As an example, air Mauritius is only resuming direct flights to Cape Town around October 2022.
Hi Lucy, we plan to move to Mauritius for couple of months, can you please recommend where we should stay? Also, because we plan to work remotely, how is the internet connection there? Thanks
Just stumbled on your channel (we are in the UK and leaving tomorrow so will be in that lovely country on Saturday. Found some of your videos really informative although did not know there was still restrictions with bars, does that also include hotel bars?
@@LucyLeheilleix thank you (although don’t want to spend too much time in hotel or I may as well stayed at home lol) also looking forward to the diving. Thank you and have a great day
Always nice to see different parts of Mauritius. I would like to know if you have a link to the new spousal laws? I can not find anything on the law where a spouse of a permit holder is allowed to work or open their own business?
Five reasons why we are considering living in Mauritius, albeit for shorter time frames, best of summer in Jersey and then summer in Mauritius…..what’s not to like, and yes it does get humid…….but right now on May 13th, it’s cold, it’s wet and it’s windy……oh and supposed to be BST…..mmmm
I was there with some friends some years back and found that it's overpriced. From hotels / villas to restaurant food to activities, I remember it to be quite high. Edit... In comparison to say, Bali, various Islands in the Philippines or even the Maldives.
Mauritius is very expensive, how the lower class suffer - nobody knows! You saw the beauty of our island, but you don't notice the hell they go through, you don't see their tears!
Absolutely love what you do in your TH-cam platform to promote this wonderful island I get to call my second home. Me and my family are from England, where did originally live? We are hoping to retire in Mauritius or at least until the children finish their education as they are special needs children x
Hi Jen! Thanks so much for the lovely comment. I’m half British/South African, so lived previously in Bristol, London and Cape Town. Hopefully see you on the island one day.
@@LucyLeheilleix ahhh I thought you had a more British sounding accent ☺️ we live in Surrey! We should be over some time next year July-august in the northern area. Thanks again for all your videos I love the subjects you cover xx
@@Iwo26 Hi! (Fast answer!) Well, sounds that you are still thinking of doing that move when you finish your tasks. I lived in CA many years ago, loved it…but I see how it has changed. I Love Hawaii and have visited Mauritius…they are so different…Have you consider HI at all. And if not, why not? And any other destination in the world? I ask because I am still not sure of my “place”… Thanks
@@anastrawberry8047 HI is beautiful, but I'm not totally sold on the idea of living on a island. I'm considering Asia now as it is tough to beat cost wise.
Hello, I'd be interested to understand the process for retiring to Mauritius from the UK - if anyone could offer any advice or point me to the start line I would be grateful.
So much to see on my TH-cam channel. Check out the channel page for more info. th-cam.com/video/hQa5Bbn9XGc/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/7MUTQJXyWks/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/BnBRHIizKw8/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/hQa5Bbn9XGc/w-d-xo.html
how do Mauritians deal with the covid issue? are you forced to take it or are you socially disadvantaged when unvaccinated? would greatly appreciate an answer.
Thanks make video how to start a business , the total cost all fee fro small business. price of comidities , basic food wheat flour , milk , banana, electic bill, room rent budget .
@@LucyLeheilleixYes, you are right, in November the cyclone season OFFICIALLY starts, but in November/December it's usually not rainy. Actually, November is a good month to visit Mauritius. Warm and not yet too humid. December also is still fine. It actually starts with the hight temperatures combined with humidity as from January which does not necessarily mean rain. A climate not made for everybody. And don't forget the anti-cyclones bringing rain all over the year. So, to get it right, Mauritius does not have a special season like monsun.
@@magmum1992 I reckon you just have to get out there but realise your expertise. Don’t get in the way, be respectful, and don’t surf reef breaks that are above your level.
hello, thank you for the video. I try to apply to digital nomad visa but when i introduce my phone for receive sms i not receive, then i can continue with the application. Someone told me that nned mauritius phone for that, but that not made any senses. ouch. Do you know something about this? how did you manage ? thank you
Hello. One can live here on several visas: OP, PRP, retirement visa, investor, student or premium visa. It all depends what your circumstances are. I’m here on a 20 year visa.
@@LucyLeheilleixu look nice person to ask Iam from Egypt used to work as spa salesmen in sharm Elshikh resorts My question is do u think that I can start my business in one of those resorts ? How much do u think I can rent spa in any hotels???
Great video, thanks! There's also the various aspects of religious activities that has not been covered. Most religions are present here, where i live, and bring rainbow color on the island, with nil clash between them!
Very true Claude. I only mentioned 5 reasons. It seems I’ll need to make another video covering the other motivations for living here. Thanks for the comment.
Hii.. I'm Mauritian actually.. But I'm looking to buy a flat or somewhere that I can call mine. However I don't even know how to do that here I'm not sure if there are flats building or something like this. Can I know how you are living or if you are renting a house
Hi Michaela! The edb site is: www.edbmauritius.org/ I also just recently did a video about all of the best (useful) websites in Mauritius. Do check that out. 😀
I live in Mauritius lol heh I just searched my country and boom I saw it I didn't know there's a TH-camr in my country mine too I'm a TH-camr but one question do you talk in Mauritius like us eski to koz couma nous?
I found the cost of living in Mauritius was cheaper than Madagascar. Mauritius is very peaceful with the trilingual locals. The number of expats and retirees from Europe and South Africa is on the increase. That may be a drawback.
Wonderful!! I'm booked on the 1st flight on 1st of October, absolutely can't wait too get there.
That's great news Carien. I hope you will enjoy it here.
How was the trip?

There are lots yes. Most notably RM and Fitlife.
@@LucyLeheilleix A safe environment, gym, and white-sanded beaches are the holy grails for expat lifestyles.

How is the humidity?
It can be intense during the summer months. Winter is great though.
22 celsius is what?
Hey, what’s your free lance job there? I’m curious to know thank u 🙏
Hello. I’m a full time wing foiler! 😀
How is the work culture in Mauritius specially in Banking industry? Plz explain!
I love salinas Ecuador
Regarding weather and climate, are there periods of heavy rain?
Hi there. Yes, from November to Feb/March is the rainy cyclone season.
@@LucyLeheilleixYes, you are right, in November the cyclone season OFFICIALLY starts, but in November/December it's usually not rainy. Actually, November is a good month to visit Mauritius. Warm and not yet too humid. December also is still fine. It actually starts with the hight temperatures combined with humidity as from January which does not necessarily mean rain. A climate not made for everybody. And don't forget the anti-cyclones bringing rain all over the year. So, to get it right, Mauritius does not have a special season like monsun.
@@dagmarlong8754 So, where do you live, Dagmar?
Where can you surf in Mauritius? And also are these places reef breaks or beach breaks?
Hi Marine. There are waves, but it’s better to kite, windsurf or foil. Localism is pretty bad here.
@@LucyLeheilleix thank you
@@LucyLeheilleix Hi Lucy, can you explain how to get introduced in the Mauritian surf community?
@@magmum1992 I reckon you just have to get out there but realise your expertise. Don’t get in the way, be respectful, and don’t surf reef breaks that are above your level.
@@LucyLeheilleix you should make a video when you are surfing.
hello, thank you for the video. I try to apply to digital nomad visa but when i introduce my phone for receive sms i not receive, then i can continue with the application. Someone told me that nned mauritius phone for that, but that not made any senses. ouch. Do you know something about this? how did you manage ? thank you
Contact the edb directly and they should be able to offer assistance 👍🏻
how hard was it to get residency?
Hello. Its not so hard. You can buy property, work, invest or retire. I have made videos about this. Do check them out 😉
Hmmm so you're there on his permit. How long is his stay? And is it the best way to live in Mauritius? By starting a business?
Hello. One can live here on several visas: OP, PRP, retirement visa, investor, student or premium visa. It all depends what your circumstances are. I’m here on a 20 year visa.
Please include Fahrenheit temperatures too. No need to say them out loud. Just include them on screen.
How can I migrate to Mauritius from Canada?
You can email me if you like?

Wait is there 🌊 waves and you can actually surf ?
There certainly are. Very good waves!
Great video, thanks!
There's also the various aspects of religious activities that has not been covered. Most religions are present here, where i live, and bring rainbow color on the island, with nil clash between them!
Very true Claude. I only mentioned 5 reasons. It seems I’ll need to make another video covering the other motivations for living here. Thanks for the comment.
@@LucyLeheilleix I'll be glad to help, re religious infos!
Not 100% true. You just have to take a closer look.
@@dagmarlong8754 Yep Dagmar...Lucy is a queen, superstar in Mauritius, how can she tell 💯% truth?
@@verity4917 She is a superstar? I have been here now for more than 17 years. Never met her.

Thanks for watching! Yes, indeed, there are a few TH-camrs here now. I’m learning Creole too!
Lucy will never talk your language, Your_local_Person....Lucy talks the language of the Rich!
@@verity4917 tf u mean?
@@Ghostly-Lia Lucy speaks the lingo of her own kind, never the language of the poors!
@@verity4917 keole isnt a poor language infact kreole is mixed with french making it sound fancy and sometimes even english
lots of opportunity for web and media work in Mauritius? im a front end dev and multimedia producer
Lots of IT work for sure. Don’t know if there’s much media work here though.
is there a shark problem?
Hi Laurent. Not at all. There are a few bull sharks in Tamarin, but no attacks like in Reunion. Thanks for watching.
Yes, but most of them are in the so-called government!!
@@lesskeels3417 Well said lesskeels, THE REAL SHARKS ARE THE MAURITIAN POLITICIANS! THEN COME THEIR FAMILY AND FRIENDS!
I found the cost of living in Mauritius was cheaper than Madagascar. Mauritius is very peaceful with the trilingual locals. The number of expats and retirees from Europe and South Africa is on the increase. That may be a drawback.
I’m so lucky my family is there
You are very lucky indeed 😃
Seems cool
Mauritius is pretty cool.
I want to be there.
