Each duplex has three bedrooms and two bathrooms, tiled floors throughout, fully fitted bathrooms, fully equipped kitchens, a parking space plus a private plunge pool and mooring for boats up to 7.5 metres long.

 La Balise Marina facilities are open to both residents and tourists. There is an array of activities including restaurants, sports centre, spa and swimming pool plus diving, deep sea fishing, catamaran cruises and dolphin watching.

Buying Guide In 2002 the business-minded Mauritian government introduced the Integrated Resort Scheme (IRS) allowing foreigners to buy freehold properties of at least $500,000 on specific pre-approved five-star schemes. In 2007 this was extended to include smaller developments through the Real Estate Scheme (RES) with no minimum price point. Owners on IRS schemes can qualify for residency and lower rates of taxation. Owners and their immediate dependents can remain indefinitely in Mauritius and pay income tax at 15 per cent with no Inheritance or Capital Gains tax. The Property Development Scheme (PDS) was recently introduced to replace both the IRS and RES and also allows non-residents to buy homes in pre-approved schemes with a minimum of six high-quality homes and a day-to-day management service. To claim residency buyers must still spend a minimum of $500,000. Benefits to owners The Integrated Resort Scheme (IRS)Â allows foreigners to purchase freehold property in the few approved developments such as La Balise Marina, with the added attractions of automatic residency for the owner and immediate dependents, 15% income tax, no capital gains tax and no inheritance tax.
