Investment Opportunities

• The splendid natural landscape and the green environment of Mauritius makes it an attractive destination for putting in place wellness centres providing alternative holistic cure using techniques and therapies like ayurveda, meditation, yoga, traditional Chinese medicine, homeopathy, acupuncture and herbal medicine.
• Mauritius is an ideal location for health resorts that provide programmes for stress management, weight and dietary control, beauty treatment and nature cure, amongst others.
• With the emergence of the land-based oceanic industry, century old deep-sea water currents flowing at around 1,000 metres below the surface of the sea can be used for wellness spas, hydrotherapy and thalassotherapy. The healing and therapeutic attributes of deep-sea water have been known for centuries.
