TAMARINA GOLF ESTATE, Tamarina, Mauritius

The launch of Tamarina Golf Estate and Beach Club in 2004 coincided with the promulgation of a precedent-setting new property law entitling non-Mauritian individuals or companies to buy land on this idyllic island; a chance for internationals to embrace the mystique, the magic and the exhilaration that is Mauritius.

The Estate harnesses the best of Mauritius and hands it to you in a compellingly designed real estate offering. And what an offering it is.

Alluring contemporary tropical architecture is at one with the wild, sun-drenched environs. And every aspect of its integrated estate design style adds up to what must be the most exciting opportunity that came out of the ground on Mauritian turf in decades.

With the championship Golf course and the Beach Club fully operational , this magnificent Estate is now there for all to see. Owners qualify for Mauritian residency status and tax benefits (including no capital gains tax in Mauritius and no Inheritance tax). This is an exclusive opportunity to own prime residential freehold property in Mauritius.

Due to the unprecedented success of Phase 1 where all 119 villas have been sold the Developers have considered the release of a next Phase, with limited opportunity.

Information regarding these units will be available for release shortly. Should you be interested in receiving additional information when it becomes available, please contact Fabrice Orengo de Lamazière.

Estate Living

The Beach Club provides direct access to the glittering fine sands of Tamarin Bay and offers bottomless opportunity to contemplate life at the edge of the Indian Ocean.

Then there’s that side of things that you’ll make up as you go. Exploring the rugged landscape on walking trails. Bird-watching. Al fresco dining. Being a golf spectator from the pool deck of your private villa. Rest and relaxation. Remember how it’s done?

The Estate also provides all that you will need in terms of practical convenience: pool and garden maintenance services, 24 hour security and access to housekeepers, chauffeurs, cooks and childcare.

Close to the Estate there is access to medical facilities, dry cleaning services, hair salons, and helicopter transport. Recreational add-ons like diving and fishing are accessible too, and the Casela Animal and Leisure Park is within easy reach. So much to do. So little fuss.

The Estate itself is a 45 minute drive from Plaisance International Airport and 25 minutes from the capital, Port Louis. It sprawls across 200 hectares of earth at the foot of the dramatic Montagne du Rempart and overlooking the cool waters of Tamarin Bay.

Golfing

Designed by Singaporean-based Rodney Wright, a spectacular championship golf course straddles 6 780 metres of the Tamarina Estate. The uniqueness of this expansive 18-hole, par 72 course lies in the contrast between the wild intensity of its rugged surroundings and the design finesse of its greens and fairways.

The undulations and natural gradients of the course have a way of throwing fresh challenges at experienced and new golfers alike, every time..

The course demands that you explore all the nuances of its footprint. The par-3 thirteenth hole, for instance, is played along a natural staircase that leads down to the ocean. With a steep, rugged cliff face as a backdrop, the 18th hole seems a poetic ending to a round of golf played in this world-class setting.

As a resident, you are automatically a member of the Golf Club with its exclusive bar and restaurant.

The Villas

Tamarina’s villas combine space, light, wood, stone and colonial shingles in optimal proportion for aesthetic impact. The architects have worked with natural elements, harnessing directional light and providing wind protection.

Some villas are nestled against the cliff. Others hug the river. All have large bay windows looking out onto expansive covered verandahs with compelling views. While each villa has its own swimming pool, the cliff-top homes have integrated rim-flow pools with overflows that cascade down into an untamed ravine, creating a sensation of being suspended between land and sky.

Also standard are well-appointed interiors with integrated storage, air-conditioning, and a phone line. Your island-style bathroom opens out onto the patio, allowing the fragrances of tamarind, acacia and eucalyptus to waft in on the breeze. This cool haven is landscaped with abundant, lush foliage to enhance your privacy. What peace.
