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!
Dang Schools don't teach geography like they should. It's okay. 🙂
Hi Lucy, I am enjoying each video!!! They are all so full of information!
Agree with Lucy, harmony amongst different cultures too, we are blessed ..
Yes, it is a harmonious place indeed.
Thanks Lucy, awesome! Will check out some of your other vids now.
Your videos are superbly uplifting Lucy . Keep up the great work 💙💪🏻💙
Thanks James! I aim to please 😃Have a great weekend.
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.
Ha, ha! Yes, it's all relative I guess :)
Great video as always!
Mauritius is definitely on our radar for retirement. What’s not to love about the place? Anxious to go for a visit.
Great job Lucy. Thanks for all the info.
Thanks very much Matt.
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.
Thanks very much. Glad you are enjoying the channel 👍
Love your videos!!.. very optimistic in a vulnerable world right now!! A happy escape..
Thank you for this lovely comment!
thanks for the good feedback of my country
Thanks very much. I love your country!
TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!🤔
I love watching your videos Lucy, they're so helpful and inspiring :)
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoy my content! 😄
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?
how was the trip?
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 .
A pleasure Zuber. Glad you enjoyed your stay!
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.
The beaches and the climate are certainly very attractive. 👍
Is it better than the Canary Islands ? 🇮🇨
@@christopherhouse7937 Dunno, never been there.
@@christopherhouse7937 Yes better than canary island.
Cuenca Ecuador is nice.
Less expensive than Mauritius.
Planning to finally come this year ..
I also adore the sugarcane plantations everywhere
Me too Zainab. I love exploring around the sugarcanes! Have a great weekend!
What a very informative video. Thank you Lucy.
Only a pleasure
Thanks very much for making this video as I am studying about possibility for long term stay in Mauritius! It is well edited video!
My pleasure 😊
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 RUclips 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.
Absolutely right. Thanks for sharing your views.
Definitely got one more subscriber here... Your videos are making my choice easy. Keep it up.
Thanks so much Christian.
Nice video as always!
6th - the Mauritians' warm hospitality 😉
Absolutely right. That too Zyaad.
Amazing video perfect! Thank you! Enjoy your stay 😘
Thanks Edith!
Very helpful and inspiring, thank you so much
Thanks very much 🙏
Another informative video for anyone considering to move to Mauritius.
Thanks so much for this lovely comment and for watching Yous!
Thank you Lucy, very impressive , beautiful Island 🏝 Mauritius reminds me of New Zealand
Thanks very much Reed for watching.
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! :)
Great suggestion! I can certainly ask him! Thanks so much for your positive feedback.
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.
Thanks Patrice for watching. It actually dropped down to 8 degrees Celsius last week! That is very cold for here! I hope lockdown is going ok?
Thanks Lucy your a real gem.My fiancé & I will see you soon booked for Nov.
So excited to show him the beautiful island 🏝
That’s amazing! Great that you’re coming here. Wishing you a great weekend.
The Mauritian food you have not say anything
Awesome vid Lucy! I agree the climate is the best part 😎
Thanks Will. Many great things to be grateful for here 😀
Thank you Lucy, pretty informative.
A pleasure!
Brilliant! :) Safety is an important element that often isn't mentioned in these type's of videos. :) Thanks you!
Very true! And it’s a genuine concern! Thanks for watching!
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.
Wow, great idea Nata. 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.
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 RUclips channel. Your career choice is perfect for your Mauritius Island Adventures.
Lovely. Very well detailed and explained:) Mauritius is a tropical paradise.
Thanks very much. 😊
That's amazing to hear that for a women it is safe as I am moving over in 3 weeks and will be alone alot 😀
I feel very safe here Jennifer, and like I said on that video, I venture out lot to secluded places.
...it's just one side of the coin !
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!
Beautiful video Lucy I wish I still lived in my beautiful island
Thanks for watching Rose-Marie!
Awesome video Lucy 😊
Thanks for watching James!
Glad you like my country, we welcome everybody here i guess its also somewhat yours now ❤
Thanks so much 😀
@@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
That was a very difficult time on the island.
Lucy - your vlogs are great. What software and kit do you use to edit all the footage. So inspirational.
I use FCPX. Thanks for watching.
Great video positive comments Now living in Sydney Wish I could visit the island my home country one last time Peter
Thanks Peter! I hope you come back one day!
Masha Allah😍miss my Mauritius♥️ in shaa Allah, coming soon🥰Love from Uk♥️
Enjoy your trip!
We are also in the uk and arriving on Saturday, can’t wait
Thanks 🙏
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.
Thanks for the comment! Do let me know John if you require any further assistance.
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
All really good reasons to live there. I find the diversity to be remarkable, as well.
Absolutely right Emily. Rich diversity here! Thanks for your support.
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
Great video mum💜❤️💖
Thanks my darling 😍
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?
Hi Karl. Within your hotel you should be absolutely fine! Have a great trip!
@@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
hey Lucy! Great video. You made mention in your video about flights from Perth to Mauritius , 6,5 hours. Is that with Air Mauritius?
Thanks !
Hello! There are multiple airlines that fly that route. You’d have to check online.
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.
very nice thanks
Most welcome! Thanks!
Amazing video
Glad you think so! More coming soon.
Amazing video of my island in the sun, BUT NOT ALL THE TRUTH!
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!
These south Africans bring their racist ideology there in Mauritius. Ask these Mauritian ppl.
Absolutely love what you do in your RUclips 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
Thanks Jen for watching. More videos coming soon.
@@LucyLeheilleix I hope you warn people not to walk alone in Camp Levieux in your next video!🤔
You forgot to mention the wonderful and rich mix of people there.
Yes! True that. Thanks for the comment.
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 😊
Hello. You can look online at galaxy, 361 and Priceguru.
@@LucyLeheilleix super 😁
I love salinas Ecuador
Am I the oy native Mauritian watching this? 🤣🤣🤣 I suggest you lot visit Bras D'eau and Eau Blue during summer xD
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.
Lucy you are awesome! If we were to visit with a small baby for a few months, where would you suggest we stay in terms of family comfort, my wife is a bit nervous about medical for the baby. We love hiking too.
Hi there. If you like hiking, the west is the place to be. Tamarin/Black River or Le Morne area. There is C Care in Tamarin and a big hospital Wellkin (near Eben). You should be good 😉 All of the best for 2022.
Seems cool
Mauritius is pretty cool.
It's a blessed country
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.
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?
Hi Darrel. This is a very confusing and interesting question. It appears as though this law was never passed…. Seems spouses need their own visas.
@@LucyLeheilleix Thank you so much. Hoped I missed something. Will have to wait till they one day pass it in...
Thanks dear.!❤️ Sounds amazing,... How about the vaccination? Are you forced to take it and if not are socially disadvantaged?
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.
I'm currently living in California and I'm seriously considering moving to Mauritius
May well be the right move for you!
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
Hi there. I’d recommend the west coast, Tamarin area. Internet is fairly fast with 100mbps lines with my.t. Good luck 👍🏻
Ciao Excellent video, much appreciated : please recommend a high school? My daughter only have 2 years to go. Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Hello. Try west coast or Northfields! 👍🏻
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.
I agree. It is overpriced. Thanks for your comment.
MAURITIUS IS ONE OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE ISLANDS IN THE WORLD! God help the poors!
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!
How is the work culture in Mauritius specially in Banking industry? Plz explain!
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 👍🏻
I’m so lucky my family is there
You are very lucky indeed 😃
I was thinking to move to Mauritius (I visited 10 times) , but It’s too cold for me .
Then I moved to Saudi Arabia .... I prefer 40 degrees (lol)
Ah….Mauritius does get hot though….but not 40 degrees🤪
Hahaha.... I love temperatures between 15°C to 21°C
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?
I want to be there.
How can I migrate to Mauritius from Canada?
You can email me if you like?
@@LucyLeheilleix what's your email address?
@@greatsciencegreatlife lucyleheilleix@gmail.com 👍🏻
@@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???
Hi nice video dear..will try to meet you soon..
Always welcome. Thanks very much for watching. Are you in Mauritius?
@@LucyLeheilleix not yet but shifting soon...what's your point about school and education for higher secondary?your girls are in which school?
The education system here is pretty good. The IB level of education sets up kids for the potential to work around the world. This is golden. Check out West Coast, Bocage, Northfields, Alexandra House...to name a few.
DON'T TRUST LUCY..SHE GETS PAID FROM THE MINISTRY OF TOURISM, OR RECIEVES MANY ADVANTAGES FROM THE HIGHER SOCIETY! 🤔
What is the healthcare like? Im planning on moving but have family who have heart problems
Healthcare is ok, but I’d be cautious with heart issues.
Hello any suggestion best place to rent water sports in mauritius
Try ion club in Le Morne.
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 😉
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.
Hello Robert. Check out the edb website, or email me as I work with a relocation specialist
@@LucyLeheilleix Thanks for the reply Lucy, I'll watch a few more of your great videos and get back to you
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.
How is the humidity?
It can be intense during the summer months. Winter is great though.
Education? Cost, location and programs available? Thank you

Hello. I’m a full time wing foiler! 😀
💕👍
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.
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 Varlet. There are plenty of flats and apartments on the island. Check out l’express properties. 👍🏻
Go and Google online....lots on sale
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 live in Mauritius lol heh I just searched my country and boom I saw it I didn't know there's a RUclipsr in my country mine too I'm a RUclipsr but one question do you talk in Mauritius like us eski to koz couma nous?
Thanks for watching! Yes, indeed, there are a few RUclipsrs 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?
@@Cyber2_. 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
Are there any good gyms on the island? 🏋️♀️
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.
Hey Lucy, can you share the edb website please
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. 😀
@@LucyLeheilleixI alreay made those notes from that video😉
Super! That edb site is really good.
how's the WiFi speeds?
They seem ok. I use my.t. Check out their website: home.myt.mu/subscribe/1G
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.
Wait is there 🌊 waves and you can actually surf ?
There certainly are. Very good waves!
One of the reasons that I want move back to Mauritius is because all of my family is there
Nice 😀
Hi Lucy, I applied for study visa over a month ago, I don't know why it's not been approved yet,
I will appreciate if you could be of help
Have you contacted the edb? They will help you.
Oh no, please help me with edb contacts
😮😮😮 The reason why Mauritius is UNPOPULAR to live, is that you are not allowed dual citizenship. And, the rainfall is very high like monsoon areas.
An interesting perspective. Thanks!
Mauritius is essentially the perfect place to stay if you're a boomer lol
Im 32 an i want to live here lol
Good to know ❤
Mauritius is a paradise for rich foreigners who are buying the best places, the best lands which the normal Mauritian worker can dream of. EVENTUALLY, THE MIDDLE TO LOWER CLASS WOULD BE FOREIGNERS IN THEIR OWN ISLAND OF MAURITIUS!
I live in Mauritius
That’s great 😃
typical mauritian pounde.......hardly an encyclo- pydiah
I too! 😥
Nobody has to sell this country to me. What I need is a job there, or a job that allows me to work there. Please advise!
