HI I have lived in Mauritius for 15 yrs. If you have school going kids I suggest you live in the north as this is where the best schools are - Northfields for high and IPS for primary school. There are a lot of english speaking expats in the Grand Bay area (Point aux Cannoniers and Calodyne) If you prefer cooler weather then Floreal would be better for you - a lot more British people here. Good english primary here too - Alexandra House. The cost of living is more expensive than South Africa but less than the UK. House rentals are getting more expensive by the day: On the beach - Rs 80, 000 - Rs 100 000 per month. Cheaper inland. Maid service is cheap and plentiful, cars are expensive. Hope this helps!
