Raising a Family in Mauritius: Top Reasons for Making the Move
After starting a family, most people notice that their priorities have shifted significantly. When you have kids, the things that were important to you as an individual or as a couple become less so.
As a result, many families looking to start over have decided to uproot and move to the island of Mauritius. Although it may be difficult to uproot their children from their established social networks and educational institutions, many parents find the change to be beneficial.
Comments on various Facebook groups suggest that many parents have already moved to Mauritius and have no plans to return to their previous country. Raising children in natural environments, away from electronic distractions, is an additional perk of life on Mauritius.
We've listed the top six reasons why families should consider when making Mauritius their permanent home. Of course, these are just a few of the innumerable additional reasons why you should think about visiting Mauritius.
The people of Mauritius are widely regarded as some of the friendliest and most accommodating that travelers will ever meet. It's not uncommon for people to go out of their way to learn more about a total stranger's history. A trustworthy babysitter or nanny who will treat your kids like their own can be found on the island.
While French and Creole are more common, most locals also speak English, so you shouldn't have any trouble communicating. There are many upsides to studying French independently.
There has been an influx of international students to the prestigious educational institutions in Mauritius. A good school is a major factor for many families considering a relocation. However, you can relax knowing that there are numerous educational opportunities available to your child that will be a great match for his or her unique interests and personality. Some schools emphasize diversity and a well-rounded education, while others are more rigid in their approach. You can help your child get accepted to the best school for him or her by talking to a number of different schools (and other parents, if possible).
Don't limit yourself by only considering schools in the area where you intend to settle. The best schools on the island are not exclusively located in the island's trendy "expat areas," but these neighborhoods still deserve attention. Don't discount these schools because of the bus ride if you value your education.
One - Climate
Those who are lucky enough to call the tropical island of Mauritius home can attest to the advantages of living there. Even in the summer's heat and humidity, a walk on the beach or in the woods in the late afternoon after school is calming.
Winters are mild enough that activities like sailing, scuba diving, swimming, and surfing can be enjoyed year-round. The west and north coasts of the island are more popular with expats because they are less vulnerable to the island's annual trade winds and winter cold.
Two - Position
In the middle of the ocean between the continents of Africa, Asia, Australia, and Europe is where you'll find the island nation of Mauritius. It is not too far away from family and friends for people from Europe and South Africa to move their families there. Because of its proximity to Dubai (both cities are in the same time zone, GMT+4), as well as its location only two hours ahead of South Africa and most of Europe, communicating with the grandparents is a breeze.
The island's airport has been recognized for its excellence, and it hopes to become a major transportation hub for the Indian Ocean. From Johannesburg, there are multiple daily flights, and soon there will be two daily flights to Dubai. With flight times of only 6 hours to Dubai and 4 hours to Johannesburg, the island is now within reach for travelers from all over the world. It can be challenging to take young children on a trip, so the fact that the drive won't take too long is likely to be welcomed.
Finally, the safety measures taken by the island must be respected. Mauritius is a great option for a family vacation because it is the twenty-third safest country in the world and the safest country in Africa. According to the Global Peace Index 2022, Mauritius is the 31st most peaceful country in the world.
Three - Kindness of all Mauritians
The people of Mauritius are widely regarded as some of the friendliest and most accommodating travelers will ever meet. It's not uncommon for people to go out of their way to learn more about a total stranger's history. A trustworthy babysitter or nanny who will treat your kids like their own can be found on the island.
While French and Creole are more common, most locals also speak English, so you shouldn't have any trouble communicating. There are many upsides to studying French independently.
Four - Classrooms
Don't limit yourself by only considering schools in the area where you intend to settle. The best schools on the island are not exclusively located in the island's trendy "expat areas," but these neighborhoods still deserve attention. Don't discount these schools because of the bus ride if you value your education.
Five - Outside, In the Wild
Many people's mental images of the island include clear blue skies and swaying palm trees. This is why people thinking about starting a family should give Mauritius serious thought. The island of Mauritius is perfect for outdoor family activities thanks to its mild climate, miles of beaches, and abundance of natural forests.
Whether you prefer to spend your time lounging on a beach next to the warm waters of the Indian Ocean or trekking to the summit of one of the incredible mountain peaks, being outside is a fantastic way to spend your time. The fact that there are no venomous snakes in the area where I intend to hike is also reassuring.
Precautionary Measures
Last but not least, the island's security must be ensured. Mauritius is a great option for a family vacation because it is the twenty-third safest country in the world and the safest country in Africa. According to the Global Peace Index 2022, Mauritius is the 31st most peaceful country in the world.
There is almost no crime, and when it does happen, it's usually something small that can be handled easily. In general, those who serve in law enforcement are nice people who take pride in their work.
Mauritius is an ideal place to raise a family due to its high standard of living, welcoming locals, and close proximity to both South Africa and Europe. The decisions of those who came before you suggest that this could be the best (and last) one you make.
